Location and Staff very good

The rooms are a little shabby, although they are refurbishing- hence no lift at present. The staff were very helpful, rooms clean and had everything we needed. Good location at the top of the steps by the whalebones, parking is a headache as on street parking is expensive from March to end October, hotel car park was full.

Refurbished rooms. A manager that wants to make it successful and staff that respect the manager as he does to them. You can see the the relationship between manager and staff are all wanting to make this New Royal refurbishment a success.

The property was being renovated whilst we were there, no one had told us this prior to booking despite a few emails to the hotel about parking and booking meals. The lift broke. Dust from builders in the dining area, builders walking around the hotel using inappropriate language. The room wasn’t cleaned properly mugs not cleaned for tea and coffee just washed up under the tap, witnessed after asking for our room to be cleaned. Dubious stains on carpets too. had to ask for toilet paper. Manager Andrew did not care however Michelle another manager was apologetic. A waste of my few days away an awful hotel.

Disappointed

Room ready on arrival and friendly staff on check-in. Very dated hotel which is being renovated but we had a terrible nights sleep in a very noisy room, heaters making loud noise and also dogs barking in rooms early morning. When asked on departure if everything had been ok we did highlight these things. Not apologetic at all, it was almost as if it was said on a regular basis. Glad we didn’t do the upgrade! Shame as I’d always wanted to stay here from being you. - highly disappointed.
