An old building that has been neglected and needs big sums spending on it to bring it up to an acceptable standard. Wallpaper peeling from the walls in both the bedroom and bathroom. Just generally neglected. Breakfast was ok

This place looked great online, but disappointed in every area. It has potential but is very outdated and tired. Wifi & TV didn't work, bathroom had a "spongy" floor, breakfast was mediocre. And there was pretty much zero happening in the town- not this fault of course- we stayed there because we did some tours in area. Pros: it had free parking and the owners/managers were very nice and accommodating. But sadly, that didn't make up for the price we payed and the overall experience.

Good option for 1/2 nights

Pros of this hotel- great location a short walk from the rail station in the town centre, really friendly staff (covering multiple roles as out of season) great breakfast offering hot and cold Cons- building is old and needs tlc, atmospheric but bathroom needed an upgrade. Tv aerial not working (not a big deal) no hot water on first night. Decent option for a night or two

Poor hygiene

I stayed in room 23. On the last night I woke up all itchin to find bite marks on my legs and chest. Then to my shock I saw bed bugs crawling over the pillow and quilt. I did complain to management (think his name was Sam) and showed him some of bugs which I placed in a glass tumbler. He apologised and immediately offered compensation due to the distress and awful experience. We also spoke at length about possible infection of all my clothing. After several emails by me complaining the Royal Hotel said at the very least i should have a full refund. I gave this infi to Hotels.com and a full refund was given. Due to non communication from the Royal Hotel I feel I need to let everyone know about the total lack of customer service from the hotel management. Avoid this place.

On arrival I was upgraded to “the boardroom “. Great but the downside was a TV the did not work because of the aerial connection. Lovely big bathroom with new fitttings, but the bath did not drain.

Nice Hotel Amazing Staff

The Hotel is located in the centre of Tain with plenty of parking. The staff are fantastic, smiling, helpful and precise. The breakfast buffet layout is the best I have seen. The 2 cooked breakfasts that I had were just fantastic.
