They are trying to get this hotel better but it is lacking in simple things. No bulbs in the bedside lamps. Can’t reach a socket for one of them or the kettle. No hooks for towels. No wardrobe. No bin only a bin liner. Window won’t open. No cups or teaspoon. Had to ask. 2 flights of stairs and no lift.

Difficult to find the entrance as I couldn’t see any signs as it happens it’s the entrance to the snooker hall you need to take. Building is like a maze inside with room numbers printed in a4 paper with pen. When I got to the room there was a number of chocolate bar wrappers under the bed and a coffee sachet had been opened and discarded next to the kettle by previous occupant. Empty tablet packets in the wardrobe and no blinds in the bathroom.

Simple no frills guest house.
This is a simple very budget conscious travelers guesthouse - no frills so don't expect any. Room was clean but table lamp had no bulb and shared bathroom. No heating in room so stay clear of Apartments in Winter. But it is relatively low cost at £75. Breakfast is tea/ coffee, cereal and toast. Hard to find as there no sign at street level

For the price, the room itself was about what you’d expect. What I didn’t expect though was it to be within a snooker club with no signage except printed A4 paper with a different hotel name on it! Ok if you need a cheap room but don’t expect a luxury building and location.

It started with zero directions on how to get there and then when we did manage to find it. Our room was moldy, shower had open drain. Hallway smoke detectors had bright green light all night and went off after midnight. One cup provided in room was filthy. Coffee pot. No mugs. No soap. Curtain falling off. WiFi unreliable. Could hear our neighbors using their restroom. Open vents in walls. Not hoovered very well. I understand budget hotels, but this was something else. I never leave bad reviews, but I didn’t sleep well in this hotel. It was hands down the worst I’ve ever stayed in. It should be closed till they finish renovations or charge about half the price. I mean. Just. Wow.

Floor is not vacuumed bed was clean room was stained and not looked after, for £35 it’s ok for the night if your looking to just sleep some where but honestly would not ever go here again for the price you can stay at a travel lodge and feel safer, looks as if they are renovating a lot of rooms and improving so this might change soon but right now it was pretty much a spare room in someone’s house (code locked doors felt very unsafe, seemed to be the same code for every door)

Absolute dive of a hotel. Check in is in a building across the street, no security for the building, anyone could walk in off the street. Hotel rooms are next to a snooker bar. Hotel smells damp, flies everywhere and generally just very run down and dirty. If there wasn’t a group of us staying we would have left immediately, there is no feeling of safety at all - heard screaming and shouting all night long. DO NOT book this hotel if you have kids.

The manager was helpful and they are obviously trying to upgrade the property. They were renovating while we were there. The problem for us is our room was unfinished with broken lights without coversand dirty ripped carpet but the room had been painted. They should only pur people in finished rooms. They had a nice breakfast area.

The rooms are comfortable and you can tell there have been recent upgrades to the rooms with the furnishings and decor. There are a few areas that you can tell the hotel is working toward fixing like the windows (which don't open easily) and the shower temperature (which was a bit on the cool side) but we found the beds comfortable and the accommodation quite adequate, especially for the price. The staff are very helpful and there is a number to access a person even when reception is closed. The location is a little challenging to find but if you find the location of the Waverley Hotel, beside the church, then you just need to go to the nearest busy corner and the Royal Guesthouse is on that corner. We found it easier to park on the street by the church but there is a parking lot. To identify the hotel, look for the billiards hall sign on the building, as the name is not visible but everyone local knows where the "Royal Hotel" is. The reception is on the second floor, but there is not elevators. I hope that they are able to revive this hotel back to its former grandeur as the city is quite a pleasant one to visit and very walkable with many interesting finds if you venture between the buildings and lots of good shops and character.

Looked very shabby from the outside but was surprisingly modern inside with ongoing renovations taking place . Newly decorated room with comfy beds and nice bathroom . Check-in was easy. Reception man was very helpful ,sorry forgot your name , the most surprising was the amount of choice we had for breakfast . No fully cooked breakfast but Buffet style everything else you could think of and more . Even gluten free section . Was a brilliant breakfast . Overall a great stay and highly recommend. And free parking nearby .

It was supposed to be a guesthouse but it was an “under construction” old hotel. No sign-so hard to find. Tiny window. Dirty hand basin and shower. Un-emptied bin. Best part was continental breakfast.

Where to start? The manager for sure was trying his best. Plenty Gluten Free choice at breakfast. The room - on the top floor, no lift - was small but clean with a decent bed. But... regularly no water in the cold water tap over the sink. Hot water tap did run but only slowly and it took forever to warm up. The power shower did not work for two days running. Then it worked for a bit on the 3rd morning but I had to rinse soap off my face over the sink because it cut out. My wife again had to wash at the sink. The sink plug did not stop water draining out - filling it with hot water from the kettle was useless. No bedside tables or lamps. No chair to sit on. Just 1 coathanger in the cupboard. No pegs to hang anything on. We shall not return to this place.
