The hotel was very pleasant generally, but unfortunately we were put into a room which seemed to have been forgotten. The radiator did not work and the room could only be heated with a convection heater, the cleaning was inadequate and the kettle contained so many bits of questionable matter that we did not risk using it.

Amazing. I enjoyed staying at your hotel very much. Big clean room, great hotel in general with plenty of interesting decorations. Nice staff. One minor issue, there was no shower gel in the container. Aside from that 5 star, I will happily come again. Thank you very much 👍

The room was freezing cold and we asked three times for a heater and we were told on each occasion that one would be sent to the room but one never appeared.The bar staff were always doing something else when you wanted service.Will never stay there again.

My wife and I had a great three night stay at The Royal. It was great value for money, the staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was good. Our bed was huge and comfortable but the room and furnishings were somewhat dated but this did not detract from our stay. The position of the hotel overlooking the beach and close to town is great. Will look forward to staying there again. Many thanks
