Top Stanley Hotel Reviews

Royal Station Hotel

Royal Station Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"What a beautiful hotel, first impressions take your breath away. All the staff, without exception, are always pleasant and efficient. The hotel itself is in need of a refurb/decoration and is very run down in places. This didn’t bother us (we had read the reviews before we booked) but could be a disappointment to others. Our room overlooked the train station and was noisy at night due to the trains but was doubly noisy when a nearby nightclub opened until the early hours on Friday to Saturday. Fortunately we had earplugs (thank again to earlier reviews). Having said all of the above, we would definitely stay at this hotel again."
