Ideal accommodation for putting your head down
Perfectly adequate for my purposes. Room was pretty clean - particularly the bed linen and the bathroom were immaculate. Service from the staff was excellent - very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. If you’re looking for budget accommodation this is ideal.

The rooms have been renovated. They were clean, tidy and simple.
Both rooms were unable to get hot water for showers. The sink had hot water. This we could not figure out. Be sure to bring your personal soap and shampoo.
The two staff were friendly and helpful.
This loacaton worked fine for our quick stay in Dinwall.

First off-the staff is very lovely and friendly. We stayed 2 nights -the first night in room 6 we had an issue with the shower, it was scalding hot-when we advised staff in the morning, we were moved to room 30-our second room was fully renovated and everything worked just fine. Wifi was spotty, and we were a bit concerned with security as the front door was unlocked and accessible to the street. The hotel is under major renovation. It is well located and again, the staff couldn’t have been lovelier

Check in very friendly.
In the middle of town, so easy to find and good for findi g place's to eat.
Room very hot, not quite as depicted in the picture, but served well enough for a 1 night stop over as part of a longer trip.

Hogmanay accommodation
Hotel staff was very helpful and very accommodating, we arrived very late and we picked up a meal from outside, the staff arranged a seating in the breakfast bar for us right away, very helpful this was.
The room was very clean and also the beds spotless.
At the time of visit, NewYear an eve we got the hotel for £62 for a family room, every where else was several hundreds.
With this in mind you get what you pay for but we got a family run business that I would recommend no problem.
Thank you staff at the Royal hotel

pleasantly surprised for the price
we read the reviews on here and was not expecting much for the price. but we was pleasantly surprised with the stay, breakfast was basic but was still very good for price we also found it to be very clean. we was in room 27 and would be very happy to stay there again. The only thing that I would say is no signs to tell you where it is so for others to find it, its on the very corner of the street.

Looked very shabby from the outside but was surprisingly modern inside with ongoing renovations taking place . Newly decorated room with comfy beds and nice bathroom . Check-in was easy. Reception man was very helpful ,sorry forgot your name ,
the most surprising was the amount of choice we had for breakfast . No fully cooked breakfast but Buffet style everything else you could think of and more . Even gluten free section . Was a brilliant breakfast . Overall a great stay and highly recommend. And free parking nearby .

Stopover
It was supposed to be a guesthouse but it was an “under construction” old hotel. No sign-so hard to find. Tiny window. Dirty hand basin and shower. Un-emptied bin. Best part was continental breakfast.

Room was clean. Location centre of town. However, no signage of hotel (we drove past it twice and needed to ring hotel for directions). Poor housekeeping- only one towel, one pillow and no cups. Receptionist not helpful.

Externally, the property looked semi-derelict. Surprisingly it was clean and tidy internally although facilities were fairly basic eg no toiletries supplied, no chair in room, etc.
