The Royal Hotel Elgin

Friendly people.

Nice reception

A pleasure to stay in this lovely old hotel. The facilities are excellent. linen white and crisp, decor appropriate to the age of the hotel. The staff are friendly and professional and the breakfast freshly cooked and tasty. We hope to stay again.

Stayed here overnight during a business trip with 2 work colleagues. Staff at the hotel were superb, nothing was too much trouble. My room was in the top floor and it appeared to be fairly new. It was a nice big room, the bathroom was big also. The shower was poor, no power to it at all. On the evening my room was really warm but when I woke the next morning it was freezing cold!!! I’m guessing the radiators are on a timer. It was a very windy day and because it’s quite an old hotel you could feel a breeze blowing through the room. I had an evening meal and breakfast at the hotel. Both were really good. A good menu on the evening with plenty of choice and the breakfast had a good selection of cold foods plus a cooked breakfast. I would stay here again if I was in Elgin.

We stayed over to attend the funeral of our close friends father. We stayed in the annex at the side of the hotel. The room was very clean and just the right size for our short stay. We had a comfortable night. We had breakfast before booking out. We had a full cooked breakfast which set us up for the day. As the church was within walking distance we were allowed to leave our car in the car park for as long as we wanted to. Overall te staff were so kind and helpful it really enhanced our stay. We will definetely return and would recommend the royal to anyone.

A very poor hotel. After checking in I went down to the bar and there was a man complaining that he had no hot water for two days in his room. That should have been a warning. After getting back from a meal out I went to the bar. Bar well that's an over statement, If you like Tenents lager then your fine as that is the only tap beer they have everything else is in bottles. It was 20:15 i went to pay for it and was told they had cashed up and so could not pay by card, lucky I had some cash. The room was okay. I had already check my hot water and had some so went to bed. I got up in the morning and went for a shower only to find that the shower didn't work the temp knob was jammed so you could have it cold or cold. Breakfast was worse the milk for the coffee was off they took my order and brought the wrong things, the same for the gentleman sat in there. All in all a very bad hotel, so bad we checked out a day early and found another hotel.

We can’t thank Niicola and the team at the Royal enough for everything they did for us and our group booking. From the outset, Niicola was so lovely to speak with and showed great attention to detail, making us feel so welcomed and excited for our day! She noted that we would have a 1 year old with us and even made sure toys and play sets were available for her which was really appreciated! On the night, they were so attentive and the food and drink was just spot on. We really couldn’t have asked for more.

A very nice Hotel I was away for business. I had a very big room and the WiFi was very good too. Great breakfast Nicola was very helpful which also included doing some laundry for us as well which really helped us out with our work clothes. I Will look to staying there again on my next business trip.

We didnt stay, used restaurant only - was superb. Staff welcoming, food excellent. Had a 3 course meal 26th Aug for our daughters birthday. Asked on arrival privately, if my daughter was able for pudding could they throw a candle on top or something. The lovely waitress said she would see what they could do. Not only did the cheesecake come with 3 candles and singing, they went out and got candles especially when the pudding order went in! How many places would do that? Staff were so friendly and welcoming. Food amazing. All 3 courses and the red wine were perfect. We couldn't find a single fault. The mango cheesecake and sticky toffee pudding was beautiful. Cheesecake soooo light. Portion sizes generous and prices fair. Regret not taking food photos but couldn't wait to try it all! We will definitely be back the next time we are in Elgin. Plenty of parking at hotel or across the road. I have no idea why this restaurant wasn't full tonight. It deserved to be!
