    great food
    clean and spacious rooms
    comfortable stay
    missing bar tv
    limited dining options

    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.

    comfortable stay

    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.

    The staff were genuinely friendly, and the food was delicious, especially the hot breakfast! The only downside was the noisy underpass to the car park. a pleasant stay! 😊

    worn carpets
    average food

    the swimming pool was nice and clean, we really had a great time playing around. the staff were friendly and helpful, made us feel welcome. the bed was comfy and the room was alright for a night. breakfast was decent to start the day and we enjoyed it.

    but the carpets in the room looked worn out n the food could have been better, just not what we expected.

    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.

    excellent breakfast
    friendly staff
    dusty room
    dirty shower plug
    grubby skirting boards

    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.
