I arrived to find that the kitchen was closed so could order dinner and also this meant that there was no breakfast service. Ideally this should have been said at time of booking.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Terrace bar is lovely with a beautiful view over the river. Breakfast was very good, lots of cooked options on the menu and good selection from the buffet. Cosy room with good view over the river. Clean bathroom. The bar is very busy but we didn't hear anything from our top floor room.

Parking can be difficult especially with a larger car in some spaces in the hotel car park and its full by early evening. Room was a little small, there are bigger rooms than ours in the hotel. No lift, that wasn't a problem for us but could be for some guests. A fan is provided but rooms might be too warm on hot days and the window can only be opened a couple of inches. As other guests have pointed out, not a lot of drawer space but this didn't pose a huge problem and we don't pack lightly!

Location. Beautiful view

location and breakfast

no Wi-Fi the whole time calked reception and was fobbed off TV was not working due to previous person fiddling with TV ( called reception , poor attitude but the caretaker was lovely saying that I wasn’t an idiot and not my fault

Setting overlooking the River Wye Very friendly staff

Everything was 5 star.

Nothing not to like

The food was very good and the service excellent.

The room was musty when we arrived. Needed fresh air. No useful drawers in the bedroom or useful shelves in the bathroom. Hanging space and hangers were minimal.

Very friendly staff — good food

I have stayed at the royal for many years and always had a single room and the single bed has always been a larger single but this time it was a small single and very uncomfortable

Loved the location. All staff were very friendly and helpful. Must mention Carol who made our breakfasts/ mornings better with her positive attitude . ☺️☺️☺️ the hotel and room areas were very clean 👍👍👍 I would defo visit again .

Parking can be limited during busy periods. Water pressure around 7-7:30am was bit weak.

Great service from all the staff. Waitress Carol at breakfast was a hugely happy start to the day

Food was very good and quite good value. View from room was lovely! Staff were all very helpful and friendly.

Furnishings in bedroom and dining room were a little in need of refurbishment. Light in dining room was dreary.

Breakfast was VG, Staff friendly, view from the room excellent

unfortunately one of the steaks on the Saturday night was tough and had more grissle that you would expect. Bathroom was tired

The staff could not have been more attentive! They were all incredibly friendly and made me feel welcome. This was much appreciated being a lone traveler, especially on Valentines Day when they were fully booked with lots of couples.

Not a big deal but the bin in my room had not been emptied from the previous guest. I also struggled to open the door to my room but got there in the end.

It’s location at the top of the market town looking over the river Wye. Being built as a hotel in 1837, came with history (documented that Charles Dickens frequently stayed there) Free hotel car park a bonus.

Nothing.
