I booked a single room in the attic but as the hotel was quiet got an upgrade to a double room with river view. It was fabulous. The bed was so comfy and the bathroom lovely with big fluffy towels. Parking couldn't have been easier - literally across the road. Breakfast was a bit pricey I thought so I didn't bother with that - it would be nice to be able to just get cereal or something light rather than paying for a big buffet. The only other improvement would be fridges in the room.

Everything about our visit to The Royal Hotel was excellent. All of the staff we interacted with were happy, smiling and willing to assist. Our room was clean, tidy and very well looked after. The lotions and potions in the bathroom were lovely and they definitely added a feeling of luxury to our ablutions. The public areas were equally well presented and well cared for. Our meal in the restaurant was fabulous, everything was tasty and beautifully cooked. Our only complaint... the portions were too big and neither my wife or I could finish our meals. The size of the portions shouldn't make you think they are filling the plate at the expense of the quality of the food, my Fillet Rossini was truly excellent! So, yes The Royal Hotel definitely deserves 5 stars!

Absolutely fine for a nights sleep!
Hotel building was nice. Room was OK but very dated bathroom but clean, no usb plugs so had to use USB in back of TV to charge phone. Restaurant was deceiving, food was not to the standard the restaurant portrayed. Will stay again but definitely not eat in restaurant.

On arrival we were given an option to upgrade. This we took as the room was bigger and quieter being at the back of the property. However we were notified that there was a kitchen extract fan 2 floors below which would run during the day but would stop about 22:00 hrs. This did not present a problem during our stay. We ate in for the 2 nights. The meal choice was good with with very generous portions. A good location to town without being in the town
