Sarah N Review of Royal Highland Hotel
The only way to truly describe this place accurate...
The only way to truly describe this place accurately is like a real life version of faulty towers.
Breakfast was a really odd experience. The food was of the poorest quality but the staff almost made it almost humorous. There were so many staff constantly rushing in and out of these two doors doing nothing and then returning. There is a juice machine (didn t know what was a thing) which the staff where constantly queuing behind quests to get themselves a glass. I saw one worker alone have three glasses of juice in the thirty minutes I was there. I actually had staff reaching over and across me to grab plates of food I had finished with while waiting for my other half to stop eating. The scrambled eggs were white and didn t look anything like an egg, the bananas were green and the croissants tasted like pastry that had been left in the freezer five years too long before being cooked.
Then we have the rooms.. while clean, the room was so incredibly small we had an issue housing two medium sized suitcases. The bathroom needed to be squeezed into, and was able to fit one person maximum at all times. I requested that we might be able to change rooms as we were literally walking on our belongings.
Other thing to note are that there is no AC or fridge provided in the room. While parking is said to be included on the website, there are only around five spaces at the front for free otherwise you are forced to walk to the nearest shopping centre and pay five pounds per night on top of the inflated price you have already paid to reside in a shoe box while lugging your bags all the way to the hotel.
The hotel itself has not been done up for quite some time, and while again clean, all the walls are damaged, tiles chipped and is just in a true run down condition. The photos on the website looked charming and that s why I booked, but let me inform you that s not what this hotel or the rooms look like which is a true shame.
Location is good. If you enjoy Faulty Towers, you will love this hotel.
