The bar area was OK, but the room was tired and needed a lick of paint. You have to leave the hotel via the fire escape if you head off before 9am, which is quite novel.The beer garden is great as is the canal which is just outside of the beer garden.
Nice hotel well situated in the area.
Comfortable room , however I couldn’t believe I was charged over £12 for a glass of wine in the bar. I wouldn’t expect to pay London prices in the north of England
Very dirty room, the floor was covered in dust and debris, there was toothpaste splashed on the bathroom walls and hairs in the sink. The pub was lovely but the room cleanliness needs serious improvement.
During stay for 3 nights had 2 rooms due to lack of cleanliness. Staff were accommodating for change of room, however when speaking to the owner Jason he was rude and dismissive. Front desk staff were also unhelpful at check out.
Access to rooms was very difficult before 9am or after 10pm as front door was not open and had to access via fire exit.
Great to stay and really convenient for getting in and out of Lancaster.
Really friendly staff and parking just across the road and really safe.
Great full English breakfast by the way.
Great for the price and would highly recommend.
Lovely room, spacious and clean with a very comfortable bed
Nice size bathroom with complimentary soaps, shampoos etc
All rooms on first floor so could be an issue if you have mobility problems
Royal hotel bar/ restaurant quite busy so would recommend booking if you want to dine in. Food quality was excellent and a great service given.
Decent size car park across the road, always found a space to park even when it was busy in the bar
I would have no hesitation staying here again if I am in the area
This was just a one night stay but rooms were comfortable and well equipped . Food in the restaurant was excellent and service from all staff was friendly and efficient
The room was comfortable and clean and the food, both at breakfast and dinner, was great. However there is a main road outside and it's a bit loud if you are not used to it.
