Surprisingly great stay

Our room had recently been refurbished and may also have been an upgrade (ask for room numbers 10-16). Facilities and decor were excellent, with a walk-in shower, comfortable bed and free parking. We didn’t have dinner in the hotel but the restaurant was very busy. Breakfast was included in the room rate and was of a good standard. Staff were friendly and professional so we would have no hesitation in recommending the Royal Hotel.

The hotel is in need of refurbishing, the carpets are tired and the paintwork is shabby. Money has been spent on the entrance hall and the restaurant, and these are splendid, though the plastic foliage is rather overdone. The revolving screen display shows a lack of imagination, there was no change to the advert for RAD Rewards ! Why not include some pictures of local beauty spots ? The food in the restaurant was excellent, and the staff were very helpful and friendly.

Good stay!

The staff here are so nice and accommodating. Check in was easy. The restaurant served very good food! The bedrooms were large with modern bathrooms and the beds were comfortable. Just an FYI…the showers have tubs that are hard for older people to get into and theirs lots of stairs. One elevator goes up to the first floor rooms but there are still stairs to the other rooms. Oh and there’s no A/C but in general, we didn’t need it. There were fans in each room. Overall good stay!

The condition of the bathroom was appalling. The shower controls were broken , could not cool down the water. The floor was treacherous when wet , the door didn't lock and the extractor fan didn't work. The food in the restaurant was quite frankly awful but the staff disappeared before we could challenge them. Sorry not impressed.t

Faulty towers

On arrival to our room, we noticed the toilet didnt flush, the handle was broken off the tap on sink it also didnt drain away, the shower turned off half way through our son having a shower, it later turned itself back on during the night! In the morning there was no hot water and the guest next door had the same issue. One of the bedroom windows didnt close at all. The room was quite dusty as it if hadnt been used in a while or maybe just not cleaned well. We have raised all these issues with the hotel and are awaiting a phone call from their finance team today. The room was very expensive at £156 for 1 night for all it was. Can't fault the food within hotel it was very good. The review isnt allowing me to upload any pictures.

Stayed to attend a wedding ,loved breakfast, though the sausages changes, dining area had good music it was vibes . There was mix up with the bedroom reservations at first was shown a double room instead of the suite i booked however this was rectified. loved the suite room 14 as it had privacy and good space . Just didn't like how the toilet flushes it’s awkward and main door doesn't shut properly have to double check as few occasion room left open thinking was shut, probably needs oil or something . luckily it was the only room on the top floor and very private but can be a security problem , forgot to mention on checkout. I Booked a standard family room for my friends however was shown a double room room 11 which was misleading this may be an Expedia issue either way staff offered to put in a sofa bed as i had the receipts. Overall staff was very exceptional my friends and i were stranded at New cumnock due to lack of cabs that the hotel was willing to get bar staff to pick us up which was above and beyond very greatful thank so much as just shows they are kind hearted. Wish it was nearer as I would come back to New Cumnock it was a vibe 😎

Disappointment with my bedroom.

The Royal Hotel has very nice staff and the bar and restaurant area are bright and lovely. Unfortunately, my room, in particular the en suite bathroom were not up to scratch at all. The bed had seen better days and was not comfy, heavy winter duvet on was way too warm for this warmer weather. There was heavy dust inside the wardrobe and a lot of scratches. I know the history of the hotel as I was brought up in Cumnock and was back to visit a friend, so it was disappointing to see the room looking so tired. There was heavy thick black mould all around the bath, particularly bad under the taps. The front part of one of the cupboard units in the bathroom was hanging loose. I was really warm all night and it was impossible to open the windows. Positives were that the room was a good nice with tea and coffee provided, but why the little plastic stirrers and not real spoons? So not eco friendly. On checking out, I passed on my feedback and showed my photos. I was told if I had mentioned it the night before that I could have changed rooms, but had taken very unwell and had to literally rest and lie down from 5pm. The staff were very nice downstairs. The breakfast was cooked to perfection and could not be faulted. Some good, some bad, some downright ugly. So sad to see some of the hotel needing attention.
