Centrally located. Good sized bathroom, but no extractor fan or ability to control temp (and no window) so hot and humid.

The room was musty and smelly. They gave me a plug in but it was ineffective; the smell is overwhelming and probably from the dampness in carpet. On day 2 there was no water in my room. Not a drop for several hours. The reception was totally unhelpful in offering any help.

The room was just okay. The front desk staff were friendly and efficient. The location is wonderful for walking and we didn’t notice any extra noise from the train station across the street. Note that hot water seems to empty out by 9:00 am.

The hotel located opposite the train station and if your room is at front of the hotel, you will hear the trains all night long. Otherwise is convenient walking distance to the main attractions “Roman Bath”.

Stayed at the Royal as we were going to a concert at the Forum which is just nearby. Girl at reception extremely friendly and helpful. We managed to book one of the psrking spaces belonging to the hotel just round the corner which was very convenient. Would stay again.

It's a lovely old place to stay. The staff is courteous and helpful. It feels safe and it was fairly quiet but for the gulls who make a fuss all night. My room was fairly small, but the bathroom was large enough. I had some trouble with hot water, and because of the heat it was troublesome to sleep. There's no AC, which makes sense given the location, but if you are staying in summer hopefully they can start providing some fans to create airflow. The bed wasn't terribly comfortable. The room was otherwise very clean and room service did a great job on my second day. If you plan to travel by rail or bus, this is a fantastic place to stay. I needed to be at Heathrow early on a Sunday morning and that's difficult from most cities. The Royal is directly across from the train station and the bus depot making it very convenient. It's a lovely walk to downtown and there's a shopping center next door, as well.
