Guest reviews for Craig's Royal Hotel
I always want to stay at a grand hotel and craig didn’t disappoint me.
Was this review helpful to you?
Loved the restoration, quality of linen & furnishings, wine & dinner as well as warm welcome & service from reception.
Service in the restaurant was a little patchy with too long gaps in sitting & serving, food great but risoni had been ‘sitting’ for a while as had dried a little, flavours great.
Plants in the hotel desperate for water.
On balance enjoyed it thank you

Historical gold era building of great architecture and presence
Was this review helpful to you?
The building is a beautiful historic building, full of fake furniture, polyester bed linen and staff who expressed in various ways that they would rather be somewhere else. There were only two staff members who greeted and looked after us during our five day stay with any form of welcome, and the rest were surly and treated us as if were were sent to be their penance in their own private purgatory. Would not recommend.
