Royal Hotel  

Breakfast

Traffic and other noise levels, especially at the weekend

Ok as long as your not to fussy, bar resturant ok, close to nightlife could be niosey at night.

It is not 5 * !!!

The staff was great. Very accommodating group, very friendly. They knew the area well enough and were informative.

It's not a brilliant building. A bit drafty, which for me, that far north and in Winter, is a bit uncomfortable. The water wasn't very hot and although the bath itself was very nice, the fixtures were new and barely holding together. There were two chairs in the room and one dismantled slowly over the course of the first day. The flat-pack mdf funiture was on its last legs (the older stuff was nice and sturdy) I had trouble with the internet payment stuff, but the staff was more than anxious to fix the problem.

I had an early departure and the hotel staff got breakfast for me before the stated time which was a great gesture.

Could be noisey. But i sleep like a log

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No parking and no pre-arranged alternative parking, terrible bed/mattress, outdated rooms...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.
