Good option for 1/2 nights
Pros of this hotel- great location a short walk from the rail station in the town centre, really friendly staff (covering multiple roles as out of season) great breakfast offering hot and cold
Cons- building is old and needs tlc, atmospheric but bathroom needed an upgrade. Tv aerial not working (not a big deal) no hot water on first night. Decent option for a night or two

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.

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.

Nice Hotel Amazing Staff
The Hotel is located in the centre of Tain with plenty of parking. The staff are fantastic, smiling, helpful and precise.
The breakfast buffet layout is the best I have seen. The 2 cooked breakfasts that I had were just fantastic.

The food was great with good portions and really well priced. If you like Whiskey the bar selection is crazy!

The property needs upkeep. The floor in the hallway has spots where it is very soft. If the carpet weren’t there you might step through. Finding an outlet to charge devices was not easy. The WiFi is slow and we had to ask for the password, it was not given at check in or posted anywhere in our room. The key to our room did not work and we had to ask for one that did. The free breakfast was a table full of open cereal boxes. We won’t be back.

Do not stay here. This beautiful old hotel has gone to rack and ruin. The bedrooms were clean but that was about the only thing. The bathroom had a heated radiator that has the wires taped together with insulation tape and a PAT test sticker on it from 2018. The tv in the room had no signal, the curtains didn’t close properly. We didn’t even stop to have breakfast just a coffee was enough with food left out uncovered and more than enough flies to put you off. The waiter had a dirty shirt and trousers on. The chair legs stuck to the carpet! There is visible damp in almost every room we went in. The staff eat their evening meal in the bar area with one of them even monitoring his blood pressure regularly! For £120 a night it was a disgrace. Never again!!!

Perfectly adequate for a work stay. Great staff.
The hotel is spacious, has ample parking and is near all the town amenities but is a bit old and tired. The resident manager appears to run it single handed and does a brilliant job.
In a part of the world where hotel accommodation in the main tourist season is often eye-wateringly over-priced this is a good option for working travellers.
