Great location, parking awkward and limited, property rather tired in places, needs a a refurb. Breakfast (full English especially) was poor value for money. Beer prices were eye wateringly expensive! Fantastic view from the terrace.

The staff at the Royal were extremely friendly, helpful and attentive. The hotel itself is in a wonderful position overlooking the Wye Valley. Rooms are very comfortable and spacious. We had a room in the newer building with fabulous views. There is no lift at the hotel. The rooms with easiest access have several steps. The shower is over the bath.. Not wholly suited to thise with mobility issues.

Lovely location for this old coaching inn bult around a courtyard which is the car park, However despite a large number of marked spaces, parking was often difficult. The hotel has had a number of extensions which makes the warren of rooms accessed by numerous stair cases. There is no lift which can make access at the top arduous. Cold water flow on the top floor was slow but just about adequate. Cloud wifi was available but we got better coverage using hot spot from our mobiles. Food was good and service too. Breakfast was excellent.

Hotel occupies a great position in the town overlooking the Wye valley. The town centre is a very short walk. Parking is tight but adequate. A USB or 13A socket either side of the bed would have been useful.

Nice enough hotel with a friendly welcome and a clean room with a comfy bed, the decor is a bit dated in places and the rooms would benefit from redecorating but overall good value for money and situated in probably the best location in Ross on Wye. Unfortunately The Wi-Fi connection is via Sky and was impossible to log on to, they really need to sort this out, I didn’t bother reception with it as we were only there for a night but it was disappointing that something which ought to be so very simple is made awkward in the biggest hotel in the area when everywhere else I’ve stayed in the last ten years can manage to provide working broadband without any faffing about. Overall though a very pleasant stay with nice professional staff and we would all gladly return.

Tv was very new and a good size. My only negative was the mattress in the bed was absolutely terrible sagging in the middle it was that old. Someone badly needs to address this.

The hotel left a card in my great aunts room wishing her a happy 80th birthday which made her day. On Behalf of myself, My mum Margaret Evans and my great aunt Mary Thompkins we can't thank you all enough. We would all highly recommend this hotel and the excellent service provided by all.
