The Royal Hotel and Leisure Centre

A lovely hotel in a beautiful old building in the centre of town, nicely decorated, staffed by friendly helpful people. I stayed in a pleasant bedroom on the second floor, a single with a small double bed and a good firm mattress. The room was nicely painted in plain colours, with great curtains which blocked the daylight, some attractive pictures and decorations, and a stylish bathroom. And you could open the window, which is not always possible nowadays. There were two flights of stairs and no lift which would be hard work with heavy luggage, but I have a feeling that the staff would have helped if it was a problem. A couple of niggles reduced 'sleep quality' from 5 to 4 stars. The bottom sheet was not big enough for the mattress and so could not be tucked in at the head or food, which meant the sheet rucked up overnight. Another problem was temperature - I like a cool room and did not turn the radiator on, but the pipes feeding the radiator heated up and made the room quite hot even with the window open. But this didn't stop it being a very enjoyable stay. I especially liked having a glass of wine and bowl of soup in the relaxing bar area; travelling alone was no problem.

Very good food .. everything cooked to perfection .. reasonable pricing , nice atmosphere. Special thanks to dave behind the bar , most kind and helpful and very friendly. Would highly recommend for a visit even if just for a beer

I can not fault this place in any way. It is a classic. Combining sophistication and style with a modern day touch perfectly. The onsite bar boasts huge screens for afternoon sports with lively music in the evening. The staff and management are superb. The gym and spa are just what you need for the ultimate workout or rest and relaxation. The location is excellent. A stone throw from the beach and mountains. Lots of nearby shops and restaurants should you decide to venture out. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here and wouldn’t hesitate to highly recommend The Royal Hotel.

I stayed here on 14 March with 3 friends & was very impressed with the very warm welcome we received. We had a triple room & double room. The rooms were spotless clean warm & inviting. The 3 course meal was absolutely gorgeous & well presented. From the manager Ash, waiters at dinner & breakfast & also the bar staff we thoroughly enjoyed our stay & will definitely be back.
