I really enjoyed my four-night stay at the Royal Hotel. The food was fantastic, especially breakfast and dinner, with plenty of choices. My standard twin room was clean and spacious, and I appreciated the free use of the leisure facilities like the pool and jacuzzi.
The bar area could use a TV.

i really enjoyed my four-night stay at the royal. the food was fantastic, especially breakfast and dinner, with plenty of choices. the bar area was very welcoming, though a tv for watching news or football would have been a nice touch. my standard twin room was clean and spacious, and i appreciated the free use of the leisure facilities like the pool and jacuzzi.

Charming Stay with Authentic Scottish Flavors
An enjoyable five-night solo retreat. The tartan restaurant served delightful Scottish specialties, perfect for a cozy meal after work. Loved relaxing in the leisure club, especially the pool area. Remember to ask for extra pillows for added comfort, as it made all the difference in my sleep.

The breakfast was excellent, particularly the crepes, and the friendly staff made the experience enjoyable. The pool and sauna were great amenities, included in the room price, enhancing the stay. The room, however, showed signs of needing attention to detail. the shower plug was dirty, and some areas were dusty. the skirting boards could use a good clean.
