Great location right beside the train station, and close to all tourist attractions. Moreover, you get to experience staying in a historic hotel. I was greeted by the staff with very kind words and enjoyed a wonderful breakfast during my stay. 120/100 RECOMMENDED.

Right in the centre easy to get everywhere. Hotel was nice and clean but it is very tired. As an old hotel it only has secondary glazing which isn’t as quiet, especially when one of them is missing

The hotel is of historical interest, old, next to the train station and in need of some attention in areas. The decor is looking tired in all areas we saw. In our room the bath sides have come away and need fixing, the pipes emit a squeal that could get very loud. It was quirky to begin with, but got a little annoying after a while. The bathroom floor was very slippering after showering. I was woken at 4am by the sound of the lift and banging doors. Other than that the hotel is fine and comfortable. On checking out the staff member seemed dissinterested and was not interested in whether or not we enjoyed our stay. Check in was fine and other staff members were friendly and engaging.

We had a lovely stay. Very convenient, as it’s cross the road from the train station, also it’s very central. the staff couldn’t do enough for you, they went out of their way to make sure you had a good stay. The bedrooms are a little tired so could do with a little TLC. Would happily stay here again.

Historic building, friendly staff

The staff at The Royal Hotel (Andrea, Tim and Gabriel) were friendly, accommodating and professional. The hotel overall needs updating. The bathroom was modern and fine but the carpets need replacing and our third floor room floor creaked a lot whenever we took a step. No one was above us but I felt bad for whoever was below. It is an old building so it’s not too surprising. The bed was ok but not the greatest mattress we had on the trip. The location is great and I would stay again.
