Royal Hotel  

Nothing

I dont normally moan about a hotel but man alive.... Arrived at 1130 into a hotel that smelt of rancid cigar smoke, walked to my room up a set of dirty stairs. Once in my room which I doubt has been updated since the 70's the room was clean but gain smelt of rancid smoke. Breakfast was horrendous with cardboard sausages and bacon doused in lard. Spend some of the money you are ripping people off with and do up your hotel. I wont be back

I enjoyed leaving this hotel.

Reception staff were hostile, i am not used to being spoken to rudely by hotel staff. Parking is located in an alley at the back, not secured and has only 6 spaces, 3 behind 3. So you will need to move your car to let other guests access theirs. LOCATION : located next to a strip bar, a billiards hall and a nightclub, a very threatening environment at night. Breakfast was dreadfull, food of a very low quality although it was at breakfast that i met 2 lovely staff members. This hotel is very old and poorly maintained, the lift work sometimes otherwise expect stairs. This hotel was not cheap nor cheerful, a horrific night.

The room was nice and spacious and the meals were very nice, staff were friendly. It was a bit noisy at night but quite a pleasant hotel to stay in

The noise at night and the heating goes off at night so it was a bit chilly

Hotel was clean & comfortable. Location was handy for shopping etc. Would recommend to friends & family.

Lift was very slow in working!!!!

No parking and no pre-arranged alternative parking, terrible bed/mattress, outdated rooms... I won't staying there again.

clean and comfortalbe room, staff pleasant and helpfull, needs upgradeing, alright for an overnight stay,

too close to nightclub and snooker hall, bit noisy at nights,

Basic with a good location

Staff very friendly and helpfull Food was very good

Very limited car parking Rooms were reasonably clean although old and old fashioned especially the bathroom The hallways and public areas were quite grubby and in need of upgrade.

We travelled by train from Lancashire for a theatre trip and this hotel was in walking distance of both the hotel and the station. It is a beautiful granite building ideally situated for the shops and night life. Our room, 404, was spacious with an unusual separate lounge, complete with sofa, extra tv and roof top view that was reached by a staircase just inside the entrance. Breakfasts were more than adequate and all the staff were excellent.

While the location of the hotel is ideally suited for the night life it also has the obvious problem of noise. Our room had double glazing, but not in the bath room so it was vital to keep the bathroom door closed to keep out the considerable street noise. This did not present a problem for us but as the hotel caters for hen and stag parties you could be unlucky to have them in a neighbouring room! Also, some people might find being situated next to night clubs, bars and a table dancing club somewhat unsettling, but it did not present a problem to us.

It was hard to like anything about the hotel except the location. The bed was comfortable.

It was grubby, seedy, drab, generally unattractive. Hoovering the room would have helped a bit. The help-yourself breakfast was shocking. Orange juice was artificial. Cereal was little boxes. Egg was scrambled only and greyish, solidified with clear liquid on top. Even the beans tasted odd. Tomatoes were nice. Pervasive smell of oriental cooking on my floor which made me think it was being used to house long-term residents from council lists. Spoke about it afterwards to a few of my colleagues who had stayed before, all of whom said they would never stay again.

Handy for course I was on.food good and plenty.big rooms plenty of space

Breakfast

The whole place needs a make-over. Old decore, old carpets, old equipment in my room, the tv (crt) was on a stand on the floor and could not be seen from either bed!!!!! Whats the point in it being there, a wall mounted lcd can be picked up for less than the daily rate for the room. A bit of effort and this could be a nice hotel.

Location was nice near to the station.

Receptionist was not friendly
