I needed to check in earlier than the allocated check in time and the staff were very accomodating regarding this. Can't fault the Royal Kings Arms in the slightest.

Joseph, United Kingdom

Lovely and helpful staff. The food in the restaurant was a solid 10/10 including dinner in the evening and breakslfast. Comfortable room with a lovely view of the quay and the castle. A few minutes walk from amenities. There was a mobile phone in the room to make calls and free wifi which is always a bonus.

Melanie, United Kingdom

Because of the building work are visit would've been much better.

Likable staff and a great location with a good view of the castle.

눉We booked to stay for 2 nights but walked out after the first night and didn't go back. The whole building is dated and in need of decoration. There was mould on the walls, paint peeling off and the windows were filthy The carpets were old and needed a good clean. Our twin room only had one towel for 2 people, the wardrobe door was loose and not fitted properly, dirty windows, dated decor, the bin had previous guests tea bags and milk cartons in it. When we arrived we had to dodge ladders and sawdust as there was a team of builders fitting doors and the reception floor. I stood on a 3 inch screw which stuck to the sole of my shoe. There were power tools and cables to trip over and it was literally a building site. Horrible experience and a wasted 2 night break spoilt by this Hotel
