Exceptional 10.0
Great room, lovely staff, amazing value!
We had an amazing stay at the royal just before everything kicked off with social distancing. It was AMAZING! the room was big, modern and clean. It was equipped with everything you could want! Smart TV so we could access Netflix, iron and board as well as wonderful toiletries made with the honey from their very own bees on the roof! There’s even a shaving kit, dental kit etc. It is such an amazing offering for a reasonable price. Every stay also gets a £5 voucher for the bar so we took advantage, the drinks were a reasonable price and the staff were so friendly and helpful despite the uncertainty of their jobs. They were even sponging the walls down. We had free breakfast with our booking, although I know it can be payable. The selection was really good and the food was replenished with fresh at regular intervals. I would highly recommend and we will be returning as soon as we are able!

Rugby weekend
Is a very nice hotel, brilliantly located with nice rooms and friendly helpful staff, however we were on the 6th floor and could still hear a lot of noise coming from the pubs and clubs in the street. This was probably made worse by the fact that it was a weekend though.

Lift was out of order and my room was on the 4th floor. Staff were apologetic and provided a drinks voucher as a good will gesture.

Very good 8.0
Unfortunately the lifts were out of service and I was on the fifth floor. But I was offered an upgrade if I was to book a future stay. Overall I was happy with my experience in the Royal and will be returning sometime later in the year.

Good 6.0
Lovely staff but not worth the money
This hotel was not what I would rate as a 4 star, it was quite worn and there was hair around the shower the toilet didn’t flush properly and floor was a bit sticky in some places. The decor was worn.The lift didn’t work so although vouchers were received this was difficult having had spinal surgery
