Excellent value for money with superb amenities. The breakfast was fabulous, and the plunge pool was a real highlight. Customer service was outstanding throughout our stay, and the location couldn’t be more convenient. A truly enjoyable experience at the Royal Station Hotel.
The staff were lovely and a credit to the hotel, however the room was very tired and dirty. Marks down dressing table with tea and coffee stains, curtains were marked and stained. 4 poster bed was worn and header and footer were torn . It's a shame because the hotel itself is lovely

Hotel was quite dated, and the bed was very very uncomfortable to the point we had to ask for a mattress topper which took most of the day to come. The pool is not attached to the hotel and was cold with the changing room upstairs Nating you having to walk down quite a lot of stairs and threw a room and bare feet to get to the pool, it would’ve been nice if we had been warned to bring flip-flops. The breakfast was okay, but I would not return despite the location being very good by the train station and the cathedral.

lovely room nice clean and comfortable bed,hotel staff are very friendly and helpful very good stay.
Room was great the staff that stood out the most with great customer service and friendly and was williing to help when needed ,was johnathan manager at reception and michal manager of the restaurant , the only thing we were disappointed about was the leisure facilities fair enough you have to pay £5 per person but the fact it was not worth that concidering we have been 5 times now and this is the first time that we are not happy due to reporting that the jaccuzzi was freezing and told member of staff that it was cold and they said it just needs time to heat up
The room was spotless, the staff were courteous, there was no hot water & the wifi was unreliable.

Staff were all very nice, room was nice and big. Clean, breakfast was nice but couldve been a bit hotter. Pillows were like slabs of concrete. But we had a lovely time and will definitely be back. Good access to town and quey side. It was not free breakfast as indicated on survey, we had to pay £12 each if booked the previous day, which we did. Party of 4 people.
