Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Great location and very helpful staff, but rooms were dated and desperately needed air conditioning.
Everything was very clean and breakfast was well organised and plentiful.
Would probably stay again, but not in the height of summer.
Staff are great location is super handy
just check in/ luggage storage were overwhelmed due to hotel size and majority of guests seem big tourist group
If you want to store your luggage with the hotel, give yourself a plenty time.
We had a great stay in this hotel. Rooms were clean and there was everything there that we required. We didn't eat in the hotel so can't comment on that. Location was good, we got busses most places from bus stops outside the hotel in either way. I would stay here again as we had a pleasant stay.
Staff were great, rooms were Small but very clean. Overall I would recommend the hotel to anyone but not to stay during the hot heatwave as no air con and very very hot rooms.
Great location for hotel
Stayed at the Royal Hotel and really enjoyed it. The room was clean and comfortable, staff were friendly, and the location was spot on for getting around. Good value for money and we would happily stay again.
Clean, safe, friendly staff. Including the hospitable Matt at the front door.
I was a solo traveller. But saw lots of families and would guess their experience was not unlike mine.
If you need a reliable place, stay here
