Royal Station Hotel

Royal Station Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"What a beautiful hotel, first impressions take your breath away. All the staff, without exception, are always pleasant and efficient. The hotel itself is in need of a refurb/decoration and is very run down in places. This didn’t bother us (we had read the reviews before we booked) but could be a disappointment to others. Our room overlooked the train station and was noisy at night due to the trains but was doubly noisy when a nearby nightclub opened until the early hours on Friday to Saturday. Fortunately we had earplugs (thank again to earlier reviews). Having said all of the above, we would definitely stay at this hotel again."

"Location was perfect. Overall staff were lovely and helpful. Nice atmosphere in the bar, although the evening menu is limited if you just want something light. Had some issues with house keeping. Replaced 2 large and 2 small towels with one of each. It took 2 days to remedy (I used my packed beach towel). Also the duvet’s insert was 2 feet smaller than the cover in width - minor but annoying when my husband hogs the covers. They fixed this the day I complained about it along with the missing towels but towels were not provided until the next day."
