I had a lovely stay at the Royal Hotel, with its welcoming staff and charming atmosphere. The location is fantastic - just a short walk from the main sights and right across from the train station, making exploring the town super easy. However, my room had a bit of a quirky issue with the bed, which felt more like a temporary option than a proper mattress. Overall, I enjoyed my time here and would recommend it to others looking for a quaint getaway.

I had a really enjoyable stay at the Royal Hotel. The staff was exceptionally friendly and always willing to help, which really stood out to me. The room was clean and comfortable, even though it was a bit dark with creaky floorboards. Breakfast was definitely a highlight, with a delicious array of options. However, I did find the noise from the street to be a bit intrusive at times.
