Not luxury, but ok for the price. The building is very old, but interesting. We struggled to open the window for fresh air.Helpful staff. Mucky windows from outside, but with nice views. Cobweb on the ceiling. Impressive fitness and leisure facilities with additional fee of 6£.

Very Good Stay
Rooms were nice and spacious, bathrooms were clean and came with towels and soap. Bed could have been slightly comfier, service and staff were great and very polite. Pool and Sauna were a very good add on, roof terrace was beautiful and gym was okay. Beautiful interior and nice bar area with entertainment on an evening, really enjoyed it. great value for money.

A beautiful hotel but in need of care.
The Royal is a beautiful ornate building situated in an excellent position for the town and beach but in need of tlc. A massive task for anyone to maintain. The bedrooms need an update and cleaning thoroughly although bedding clean and towels soft. The reception staff were so friendly and helpful a plus for the hotel.
We all have to make a profit but £3.60 for a small bottle of coke in the bar seemed extortionate having paid £2.60 at The Britannia hotel Aberdeen. This drives away extra custom for the hotel.

Lovely historic hotel
Spacious and very comfortable room with a sea view and all the amenities I required in a room, including the bonus of a coffee machine. The building was very grand and full of character and in a very central and convenient location. Would stay here again.
