It has potential but is very outdated and tired. Wifi & TV didn't work, bathroom had a "spongy" floor, breakfast was mediocre. And there was pretty much zero happening in the town- not this fault of course- we stayed there because we did some tours in area. Pros: it had free parking and the owners/managers were very nice and accommodating. But sadly, that didn't make up for the price we payed and the overall experience. ##### Gaila Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Richard 30 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities People helpful ##### Richard Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Alexander 4 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities The hotel is a pleasant old building. It is definitely tired and overdue for a refreshing overhaul. That said, the staff were so accommodating and helpful that they made up for the buildings shortcomings. I would not hesitate to stay here if I was passing through again. ##### Alexander Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robina 14 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Run by a lovely family. This hotel is right on the John o’Groats trail (and in the centre of Tain) and provided a very comfortable nights stay after a long days walk. I noticed it also provides /thinks of the details that not all hotels (along the trail) do…. Bottled water, big pack of shortbread, giant tv (not the tiny wee ones you often get on the wall), alarm clock, in shower mat…. ##### Robina Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 13 Oct 2022 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The staff are very nice and friendly and are doing their best with what is available. The single room I stayed in was very poor and the bathroom was the worse I have ever seen. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ian 13 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service On arrival I was upgraded to “the boardroom “. Great but the downside was a TV the did not work because of the aerial connection. Lovely big bathroom with new fitttings, but the bath did not drain. ##### Ian Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### fraser 15 Apr 2023 Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Would have been very nice 50 years ago but not maintained since ##### fraser Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Paul 27 Oct 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Staff good but hotel not! Avoid. Very dated hotel with too many issues to mention. The main issues was the food was not good, the restaurant lit a fire which smoked out the whole restaurant, with fire doors being propped open and fire alarm not in use. The room was dated and in need of much needed spring clean as a minimum. Woke up to bugs in bed which was acknowledged by staff as a problem. The manager and staff were friendly and seem really nice people but let down but poor decisions and a tired looking hotel. Will not be staying here again. ##### Paul Stayed 1 night in Oct 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Findlay 23 Nov 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Poor hygiene I stayed in room 23. On the last night I woke up all itchin to find bite marks on my legs and chest. Then to my shock I saw bed bugs crawling over the pillow and quilt. I did complain to management (think his name was Sam) and showed him some of bugs which I placed in a glass tumbler. He apologised and immediately offered compensation due to the distress and awful experience. We also spoke at length about possible infection of all my clothing. After several emails by me complaining the Royal Hotel said at the very least i should have a full refund. I gave this infi to Hotels.com and a full refund was given. Due to non communication from the Royal Hotel I feel I need to let everyone know about the total lack of customer service from the hotel management. Avoid this place. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3133C6A6B4AFDBE581B72B82427048F4729DA3721729094853111.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/35BFFC58D7DB2316B4F6962B8EE24BE55AF771B31729094875064.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/EBA62EFBBDF0925472112F1C530C08985C087C9D1729095897030.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/F85D17F2E3B580E71FD0E021462D43847A6A1C601729095916458.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Findlay Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [DoubleTree by Hilton Dunblane Hydro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dunblane-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Dunblane-Hydro.h520461.Hotel-Information) > > [Claymore Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arrochar-Hotels-CLAYMORE-HOTEL.h57956439.Hotel-Information) > > [Marine Troon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Troon-Hotels-The-Marine-Hotel.h554927.Hotel-Information) > > [The Stirling Highland Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stirling-Hotels-The-Stirling-Highland-Hotel.h558482.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont St Andrews](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Andrews-Hotels-Fairmont-St-Andrews.h663479.Hotel-Information) > > [Dunkeld House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dunkeld-Hotels-Dunkeld-House-Hotel.h520427.Hotel-Information) > > [Apex City Quay Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dundee-Hotels-Apex-City-Quay-Hotel-Spa.h897382.Hotel-Information) > > [Adamton Country House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Prestwick-Hotels-Adamton-Country-House-Hotel.h3277768.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Dundee City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dundee-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Dundee-City-Center.h15438290.Hotel-Information) > > [JA Mar Hall Scotland](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bishopton-Hotels-Mar-Hall-Golf-Spa-Resort.h1077249.Hotel-Information) > > [Loch Long Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arrochar-Hotels-Loch-Long-Hotel.h16270964.Hotel-Information) > > [Fonab Castle Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pitlochry-Hotels-Fonab-Castle-Hotel-Spa.h5991409.Hotel-Information) > > [The Victoria Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kirkcaldy-Hotels-The-Victoria-Hotel.h4482159.Hotel-Information) > > [The George Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Inveraray-Hotels-The-George-Hotel.h24458716.Hotel-Information) > > [Inglewood House and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alloa-Hotels-Inglewood-House-And-Spa.h12709295.Hotel-Information) > > [The Caledonian Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fort-William-Hotels-The-Caledonian-Hotel.h13407571.Hotel-Information) > > [Glynhill Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Renfrew-Hotels-Glynhill-Hotel.h868692.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Glasgow Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paisley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Glasgow-Airport.h519994.Hotel-Information) > > [Moness Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aberfeldy-Hotels-Moness-Resort.h2955414.Hotel-Information) > > [The Great Western Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oban-Hotels-The-Great-Western-Hotel.h13407325.Hotel-Information) > > [The Pitlochry Hydro Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pitlochry-Hotels-The-Pitlochry-Hydro-Hotel.h1854094.Hotel-Information) > > [Dakota Eurocentral](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Motherwell-Hotels-Dakota-Eurocentral.h1516635.Hotel-Information) > > [The Waverley Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melrose-Hotels-The-Waverley-Castle-Hotel.h13431010.Hotel-Information) > > [Cameron House on Loch Lomond](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alexandria-Hotels-Cameron-House-On-Loch-Lomond.h980306.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Hamilton Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hamilton-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Hamilton-Park.h33810078.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Duchally Country Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Auchterarder-Hotels-CLC-Duchally-Country-Estate-Hotel-Resort.h79023.Hotel-Information) > > [Riverside Lodge Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Irvine-Hotels-Riverside-Lodge-Hotel.h8519.Hotel-Information) > > [Arrochar Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arrochar-Hotels-Arrochar-Hotel.h1423391.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Glasgow Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paisley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Glasgow-Airport.h809324.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Glasgow Strathclyde](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bellshill-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Glasgow-Strathclyde.h520473.Hotel-Information)
