Royalist Hotel  

Lovely old building and great breakfast

Very small room for price, tiny bathroom and poor shower, and cracks on bathroom room plaster

The room had too many steps (some dangerous) The bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was unacceptable.

Bed was comfortable and staff friendly. Really enjoyed the breakfast - why can't I get my poached eggs like that?

Bar was a bit on the cold side. Evening meal in the bar was ok but nothing special - a bit disappointing.

We have been before and it's usually the same this time they were understaffed and one staff member sat at the bar moaning about having to work and as the only people in didn't rush to take our order! However the food was excellent and breakfast staff very efficient and helpful , the room was lovely. It seems like the owners are running it into the ground!!!! And just leaving it fed up staff, such a shame. That said I would go again I like stow and there's something about the royalist I like

No fires lit even though it was freezing. Staff clearly fed up with management. Staff had friends in sitting at bar who they were more interested in talking to than taking order. Couldn't be bothered attitude

We were in room 1 and it was absolutely gorgeous. It was full of character and the jacuzzi in the en suite was an added bonus it was brilliant. The breakfast was very good and the staff very nice. We will be going back for sure!!

Location and room was nice and dogs allowed but very noisy because directly above the bar and you could hear every word people were saying. In administration so not as good as previously but staff were lovely

Noise in room

Breakfast Location Gilchrist & Soames toiletries Clean crisp bedding

Upon arrival, we rang the bell and the receptionist arrived with a "hello" and then.....nothing! Dreadful welcome - didn't utter another word until a bell was rang in the bar (just once!) and she muttered "I can't be in two places at once" !!!! The room itself (room 5) was tiny (was this really the 'classic double' we had paid for?) and it was shabby - desperately in need of paint and a filthy carpet with both stains and dust - yeuk! Do people actually live like this? The bathroom was the size of a small cupboard with a bath made for a hobbit and a toilet which doesn't flush properly! There was no spare toilet roll and the one left for us had about 10 sheets on it! (My husband found a storage cupboard on the floor below as the receptionist can't be in 2...... Overall, it certainly was not the luxury break we were expecting and we had dinner elsewhere both nights - I can recommend The Kings Arms and The Talbot - great food at both!!!!!!

Friendly and helpful staff. Perhaps the relatively small size of this hotel contributed to this feeling of friendliness. A beautiful old building. A comfortable and relaxed atmosphere and comfortable bedroom. Very quiet and peaceful. The food was excellent. The position of the hotel was ideal - in the middle of the lovely town of Stow, and central to many attractive Cotswold villages.

The room was excellent - large and full of character

The car park was tiny although this was not a problem during our stay as the hotel was not full - jacuzzi/bathroom had no proper shower- the en suite bathroom was up a small flight of stairs - not entirely convenient in the middle of the night

The quirkyness of the hotel I.E. exposed beams crooked stairs etc. The location in the town.

Was only there for one night so most needs were met

Nivky a member of staff went the extra mile & helped us relocate to your hotel over the road,

On arrival 2 members of staff were outside having a disagreement, not a good welcome to the hotel! I booked in January & also invited another mature couple to stay the first night with us,we were very unhappy with the size of the room & in particular the shower/bathroom area. The facilities were not value for money.

Very pleasant staff, couldn't do enough to help, the evening meal was served at a perfect pace to allow each course to settle and plenty of time to chat without thinking the wait was too long.

Was potentially expecting a slightly grander bed, what appeared to be a standard double, Television did not offer radio channels so no access to music in room

Central location. Staff very friendly and helpful. The room was very clean and well stocked with tea coffee hot chocolate milk suger ect. In all a very enjoyable stay, and we would stay here again and recomend it to family and friends.

There was nothing that we didn't like about the hotel.
