Misleading booking information. Booking offered free breakfast; hotel did not accept therefore disagreement and embarrassment ensued.
Staff were amazing the hotel was spotless Why did I do 4 and not 5 only one thing less than perfect the room was to warm with no means to adjust as the radiator was on the lowest setting
Nice stay at the royal wells hotel
Free car parking
Close to town, approx a 10 minute walk
Room was nice, but more attention needed when cleaning . Top of the wardrobe was covered with dust and the curtains had tea stains all of the bottom of them.
Bathroom was clean
Breakfast was good

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Rooms were very clean. Staff were friendly and helpful. Nice dining room.
Room was very spacious with everything provided. You need to use your mobile to call reception though. Staff interaction was mixed. Dining and bar staff were good but changed every evening (5 nights) so there was no capacity to remember I was GF or that my wine was put away each evening. Reception rarely manned and I had to wait till someone appeared. Reception staff were fine once you spoke to them, but never looked up if you passed by or welcomed you back when you came in at the end of a day out. Nonetheless, I enjoyed my stay.
Limited tight off street “free” parking - amazed that more car park incidents didn’t occur.
Luckily stayed Saturday and Sunday nights, as free street parking after 6 pm and on Sunday directly opposite hotel.
Room initially not available at 2.15 for 3 pm check in.
Cosy comfortable room with coffee pods and tea/coffee/biscuits provided. Beautiful bathroom toiletries. Room at front with views over RTW town. If opt for green option to “Skip the Clean”, then you have to request for extra tea/coffee.
Great cooked breakfast choices to go with continental buffet options. Lovely dining room.
Only downside was yapping dogs in next room every time they were taken out for a walk.
Old fashioned, but clean, tidy and spacious room. Very comfortable bed, quiet room
Very pleasant breakfast, but truly outstanding dinner, food brilliant and service first rate
The room was spacious and clean. It was quiet and the room had all amenities that we needed. We had dinner in Pantiles and the location was superb with the walk only taking approximately 10 minutes. Breakfast was tasty and the staff attentive.
