We really enjoyed our stay. Ideal location. Our room was huge! We had seen comments about rooms being dated but ours wasn't at all, really nicely decorated. We had a sofa as well as a table and chairs! The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was very tasty and the young lady who served us very friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble and would stay again.

The only downside was the location of the tele on the wall. It was facing away from the sofa and you couldn't see it from the bed due the angle and the distance. It would be better on a bracket with an arm so you could swing it out when you wanted it

I loved this place, booked it last minute and so pleased, great room, lots of space, comfy bed, and very central, and the large rear car park is perfect for motorcycles, the staff could not have been more helpful, even supplied a plate etc, for a Chinese meal I bought locally, the breakfasts were just right, and the porridge with honey was delicious, I will definitely be staying again when I visit the area,if only to say hello to buddy the parrot who made me laugh with his language and impressions.

I honestly can't think of anything negative, it was a great two days

The food, both breakfast and dinner. Lots of choice and served nicely. Overall the bar area was nice and welcoming, although a television would have been nice to watch the news or the football. Bedroom was nice, clean and plenty big enough.

Mess up with room. Having discovered prior to going that the lift didn't go up to the bedrooms on 2nd floor, I made sure our room was on the 1st floor. However when we arrived the room allocated was a double not a twin as requested. The hotel was very busy so no option to change room. However, after help we decided to have a go at the stairs. It was hard and painful but managed, it did mean we had to manage stairs with for the 4 nights we were there, this did cause some pain.

I have spoken with my colleagues and they said the breakfast was excellent and the rooms were very clean and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. They loved the parrot too and looked forward to seeing him every day. Would defiantly stay there again if they have to come back up there for work.

The only negative thing was that the shower did not have a lot of water coming out of the head, my colleague described it as just a few strands of water cascading down which made showering properly a bit hard.

Delicious breakfast. Had dinner there the first night and it was lovely. Nightclub attached to the hotel but didn't get a chance to go this time, or to go for a swim in the pool or use the spa. I'll be going back to visit family again in that area and will happily stay at the Royal Hotel again. Staff were lovely, very friendly and Buddy was a surprise (parrot in the bar). Location is fantastic.

Nice room, clean. Good location. Good breakfast.

Noisy - as if there was a motor or machine running outside my window all night. Unpractical coming back after 10 PM and having to make a phonecall so someone comes to open the door. Had to pass through the bar to get to my room - it was pitch dark when I got back in the evening. Also poor lighting in the hallway (sensor avtivated lights could be a solution).

Good choices for breakfast, parking on site was very useful, staff friendly and helpful. Good central location close to shops and restaurants. We didn't eat in the hotel at night so can't comment on the dinners. There was a gym and pool which we didn't use but there if we wanted to.

Hotel a little dated but there were signs to say that the hotel was undergoing an upgrade.

The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. They let us store our bikes in the building to keep them safe (we were in Forfar for the triathlon), they let us use the jacuzzi and sauna when the pool was closed. They really did accommodate our every request or wish. The breakfast was really good too!

The bathroom didn't have any ventilation. Just a small comment, but it meant that the room heated up quickly with the steam.

The Royal Hotel is in the centre of Forfar with ample off-street parking at the rear. All staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was clean and generous. There is a swimming pool in the Hotel's fitness centre which has steps into the water for easy access. The room was clean and quiet.

We were there on one of the hottest days and the room didn't have Air Conditioning. Thankfully the staff were able to provide a fan. Unfortunately some local youths did make some noise late at night, but they are distant from the rooms, se we could ignore them.
