The Royal Hotel

The Royal Hotel

8/10 Good
"Hotel is in a great location a couple of minutes from the train station. Room was very clean but 1 of the cups and spoons had not been changed and were dirty. It was changed by the time I got back to the room so no real issue. Kettle, tea, coffee and shortbread which was great. Old building and everything ran in a slope. Which was a bit strange. Would stay again"
