    A bit scruffy on the exterior. But I’m sure they are going to be tidying it up Wi-Fi charges are a absolute rip @ £7per device per day

    Beautiful old building that’s currently undergoing a refurbishment

    Location. Very welcoming and helpful staff. Loved the decor and atmosphere. eg the ladies rest room on 1st floor the lounge and the entrance and stairway were quite splendid.

    In the evening there were three dogs running around, twice one of them urinated on fake shrubbery at the side of the bar. This was unacceptable and I think dogs should be allowed but kept on a lead.

    Breakfast was exceptional. The room was dated but pleasant and comfortable. The staff were friendly.

    Paying £7 for use of wifi per day?!. I understand the hotel needs work done, and that utilities have gone up in price but this seemed in my opinion steep. My room was too small even as a standard double, and having a dog it was cramped and very limited. The floor needed a good hoover and found sweet wrappers by bed. Paint/wall paper coming of from what appeared to be damp. Scuffs to paint work and skirt boards. Windows in need of repair and clean. The building is named the Royal. Lets get the inside to reflect the nams of a once grand building. It needs some TLC.

    Staff friendly and accommodating, allowed me to switch rooms when required.

    Nothing in particular, but it is having a refurb and there were lots of areas with no carpets down. Didn’t bother us though

    Clean and tidy bedroom, with a comfy bed and decent sized en-suite with shower over the bath. Plenty of hot water and decent quality towels
