Royalist Hotel  

Nice location in beautiful Cotswold town; fantastic old building. Helpfulness of staff.

Inexperience of staff. Lost booking. Poor food.

Nice old world type hotel

Paid more money booking than walking in off the street

The location is perfect for exploring the Cotswolds. The history associated with the hotel is very interesting.

The lack of a welcome offered by the staff and a lack of interest displayed by the staff. The lack of a restaurant, which is depicted in the hotels literature but is now closed. The price, which on booking seemed fair, after our visit and for the services on offer seems far to expensive.

Lovely historical hotel. Good staff, welcoming. Good brekkie options - buffet or kitchen-cooked. Comfortable and clean room. Great location in Stow-on-the-Wold. Overall, did the intended job as a good value base for seeing the rest of the Cotswolds.

Could do with a bit more parking...but we were always able to find somewhere out the back or nearby mid-week in mid-July.

Great location It's history Fairly sized rooms

The rooms in the attic were very small. Sometimes one would have to wait for a few minutes for someone to turn up at the reception.

Location and ease of access, parking , quick service of breakfast.

Bed was extremely uncomfortable and could feel the old springs and we feel the mattress could be updated.

The room was superb, the location is perfectly suited for all the attractions of Stow and the service was friendly.

The service in the restaurant was ok but not really at the level that equated tot he rest of the hotel.

I booked the hotel in April and when we arrived in late May to celebrate my husbands 50th birthday we were informed that they had double booked our room and we had to have 2 different rooms. This was totally unacceptable and very disappointing as no one wants to change rooms half way through their stay!!!

Super location with an interesting history.

Polite, friendly service

Decor is a little tired. Carpets need a good clean / replacing.

Lovely old building and great breakfast

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

Stayed at the royalist as a treat for my wifes birthday, and a treat it was. Stayed in room one, which was fabulous, great fun in the jacuzzi!. The food and staff were excellent, will definitely go back sometime.

宿泊は３階の屋根裏部屋に２泊。古い歴史ある建物(ホテル)はでありながら部屋､水廻りは清潔でした。階段- 、廊下も狭く、もちろんエレベーターなどは付いていない為、旅行カバンを持って上がるのは大変でした。歴史- を感じることができました。

隣に併設のレストランの内装が殺風景で残念だった。

Excellent service.

lovely location, clean room, great breakfast

noisey floorboards & a bit uneven. Staff in bar where slow serving & were overheard commenting on my boyfriends hair!!! quite expensive for what was on offer. hairdryer kept fusing out, shower was very difficult to maintain a constant heat.

The history - original hotel dates to the first century ad. Facilities were modern but had to fit within a very old building so the upstairs bathroom was a bit of a problem for older travellers although the bedroom was very big with a lounge area and very comfortable. This was a more expensive room but worth it. We dined at The Royalist two nights and enjoyed the personal attention and the small changes readily made to dishes to suit our own tastes. A very pleasant two night stay in a lovely town.

Having to climb to the bathroom - harder for older travellers. Plumbing in old hotels is interesting. The toilet flushing was a challenge. This was balanced by the charm of the old hotel but should be looked at by the management.

Location was good and we managed to get into he small car park. The bedding towels and rooms were very clean, and we were lucky to get a large room. We were there for a family reunion and it worked well for us in that respect. It was a lovely building and had an interesting history and was near to all the towns shops tea rooms etc.

It's a shame that the traditional and old aspects of the hotel are in our eye's spoilt with modern fittings especially in the breakfast room. We were dissapointed with the quality of the food we ordered for our evening meal we could have been in McDonalds or kfc with the portion of fries served as part of our meal!!The breakfasts were satisfacory but the full English was small portioned considering the price we paid for b&B.

Fab location right in centre of Stow. Full of character as oldest inn in England. Atmospheric room.Lovely breakfast

Bathroom rather tired and in need of updating. Former classy restaurant now closed by new owners and only pub type food available in adjoining eagle & child pub.

Its magnificent atmosphere, The attentive and service-friendly staff, both at hotel and restaurant/pub. Awkward as access to the rooms may be - it's part of the territory and the charm of the hotel. Sleeping comfort in beautiful linnen - fabulous!

Not so much what I did not like as a couple of improvement points: Discard the boucle carpets on bedroom corridors. Will improve guest feeling of comfort and ease cleaning. Replace the overhead, low pressure shower heads in bathrooms. Will save water and energy, and prove economically feasible witnin months. Espesially now for the summer montsh - do it!
