What guests think

Travellers describe The Royal Oak Hotel, Welshpool - The Coaching Inn Group as a characterful, central inn with friendly staff and comfortable rooms, noting some drawbacks such as warm temperatures in some rooms and occasional noise from traffic or functions.

Breakfast is frequently praised and most dinners are enjoyed, though a few guests mention limited choice, early last orders, busy periods causing waits, or the odd overcooked dish and pricey wine. Rooms are generally well appointed, but some run hot, a few bathrooms are small, Wi-Fi feedback is mixed, and street or event noise can carry at night; there is no lift, and on-site parking can be tight and tricky to access. Overall, expect a welcoming, characterful stay with good food and some practical trade-offs.

Lovely hotel with character rooms well furnished to a high standard bath room very well stocked with toiletries .Breakfast good choice although service seemed a little rushed ie hot food came before dishes cleared . Could do with light options on evening menu otherwise good.Parking was hard to find as on a one way system and easy to pass rear entrance

Pleasant hotel with nice room and bathroom. Limited local dining options, which meant hotel restaurant was very busy and it took a while for food to arrive. Breakfast very good. Gated parking on site. Ideally situated for a visit to the beautiful Powis Castle ( walking distance from the hotel)

Beautiful building in the heart of town. Staff were very pleasant and attentive. Room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast and Dinner beautifully cooked. Plenty parking space at the rear of the hotel, but you need to drive around the one way system to reach it. If you miss its location, the hotel provided good directions to locate the entrance.

Very conveniently sited hotel in centre of town. Parking always seemed available. Hotel is an historic building modernised as far as possible. But no lifts and steps along corridors. Friendly staff. Good breakfast with self serve starters and main meal cooked to order. Good selection of courses at dinner. But wine at £30 plus per bottle is expensive and a deterrent to ordering. Surely something more reasonably priced per bottle could be sourced.

The room was spotless, spacious and well equipped. I loved the DAB radio on the bed side. Nice touch. I prefer to listen to music/ podcasts/ audio books when staying away for work. I was welcomed by the lady on reception as though I was a friend, not a guest. Certainly, the cheeriest greeting I have ever had when checking in. The car park is a little tight but there are plenty of public car parks really close. The restaurant was nice, with a good, varied menu and breakfast was top quality

I travel a lot and stay in 3 hotels a week. The room was very comfortable and clean. The evening meal was very nice as was the breakfast. All staff i encountered were very welcoming and friendly and i saw this for other guest interactions too, so i take it this approach is the norm. The reception lady stayed on the phone call till i found the carpark, which was a big help. A very nice stay and will be back again when working in the area, thanks. I dont normally give reviews, but thought i would this time, Ian

The room was spotless and beautifully furnished; the bathroom was modern with plenty of shampoo, soap etc. The hotel itself has kept the charm of its age but with modern facilities. The staff were friendly and helpful, particularly when we had trouble locating the car park. We had a full english breakfast which was plenty for us.

Room was amazing, no faults. Staff friendly and check in had no issues. Food was lovely and good portion sizes. However zero sleep. Sound proofing was poor, traffic noise. We had a long drive the next day and needed an early night. There was excessively loud music thumping for hours which completely spoiled the stay. We were not warned the function was being held and it intruded on our stay. A pity.

The staff were lovely; professional, yet friendly. Room 214 has VERY uneven flooring…unexpected rises and dips…a bit odd to maneuver around. Hot water always was slow to arrive. Spoke with staff about it. Running the shower for 10 minutes to get hot water seemed so wasteful, but I come from a drought plagued part of the world. My final morning, when I’ll be leaving and traveling for 12 hours, there was NO hot water. I ran the water for 45 minutes before I left without showering. The night staff apologized yet I stunk the entire day. No bueno. The bar and dining were fine. No great shakes.

Quite rude if yiuthink about it. I have a charge I don't recognize. I'll just refuse to pay it until I get documentation!

Nice property in the centre of town, rooms good overall but too hot in the middle of winter. They have a bit of a capitalisation on dining as there is not much else open nearby in the evenings, but food is of good quality and cooked fresh to order including Breakfast. One minor downside after going to the Restaurant to eat at 8.05pm being told by the gentleman on Reception on 12/2 last orders are @ 8.15pm, 2 things it was five past eight not eight fifteen and nowhere on there published literature or even their own restaurant booking site does it say anything about 8.15pm - their guest directory says they serve until 9pm and their booking site says last table to book 8.30pm (!) Apart from that all good :)
