It’s a very nice hotel not a lot of noise but the WiFi in certain rooms doesn’t work well and the phone signal isn’t strong enough to counteract it

It was unique of the location and how close the amenities are the only problem is the parking everywhere has a charge on the parking. Depending on the time of year there is either a lot of night life or non at all but the scenery and the walking areas were beautiful

We stayed at the property but it had no facilities due to refurb. Room was ok certainanly not superior double as advertised and paid for so well overpriced. Poor mattress didnt help sleep, decent refurb for 2 star hotel but very cheap plastic toilet seat and lid fitted but moved constantly. We had to eat at the very busy Royal Brittania futher down the road where the breakfast was good but the staff did there best but needed help as it was so busy. Parking was the public car park so 1st come 1st served and expensive with no subsidy for hotel residency which tells me they want it all ways up. On the sunday evening and everyone had left guests to their rooms and no staff to be seen so we found ourselves alone in the bar eating area. We could have been anyone and ransacked the place, it seemed know one cared and hadnt locked the building bizarre . We would never go again.

a rip-off at nearly £400.00 for two nights stay. No indication before leaving that the accommodation was remote from bar and restaurant facilities. Royal Britannia hotel needs a good clean and face-lift.
