My third stay at The Royal
Pros:

This was my third stay at The Royal Hotel. The beds are really comfy so I slept like a log. It is an old building and has lots of character. The hotel is near a supermarket, town and local shops. I will definitely be staying again. Thanks to everyone at The Royal hotel

Horrible
Pros:

Staff in the pub were great but everything about the hotel side was horrible. Surfaces were sticky , carpets really badly stained, everywhere smelt of mould, walls were crumbling, no hot water, cold water tap on sink didnt work, bed was clean but lumpy and the headboard was filthy worn and stained. Mould and rust in the bathroom, bedside lights didnt work . If I'd brought bedding I'd have chosen to sleep on the floor of my work van!!

Pros:

People working at the Royal were great. The hotel was a little dated and the room was missing a few bulbs for the lights.. it served our purpose and was in town close to everything we needed. Spent every night in the bar area, drinks and food were good prices..
for breakfast go to the Blue bell inn…

Ok at best
Pros:

Most staff were great but one particular woman was rather rude when we were double checking our sleeping arrangements. We booked a room for 3 with 1 double bed and 2 singles on arrival we were told it was just 2 doubles, we was happy to suck it up but the lady we spoke to was very aggressive and even said she was going to cancel the booking because she only saw it on the day despite booking 5 weeks prior. Rooms desperately need a refurbishment but did the job for a boozy stop over.

This hotel could not be much worse.
Pros:

I was not very happy staying at this hotel. The door to my room for the night was very scratched. Some of the wallpaper in the room was peeling. The hot water tap in the en-suite bathroom sink was falling off. I slept in my clothes because I was not sure how clean the bedding was. I was told before I went upstairs that breakfast would only be a continental breakfast because they were having work done in their kitchen. I did not go downstairs for breakfast. I think that this may be a hotel for the homeless or for immigrants. I will NOT choose this hotel if I ever go to Scunthorpe again.

One night
Pros:

Friendly welcome, but room was very tired, paper torn on wall, stain ylunder rim of toliet, bathroom, mark round toliet stand, marks round tokes in shower/bath. Bed was the most uncomfortable bed i have ever slept on.
It needs a overall. This is a excellent area for bath hall.. pub is lovley. But not the rooms. We spoke to others that had same experience.

Pros:

It's a tired pub, which we were aware of so knew it wouldnt be 1st class.
Let down by dreadful smell of cigarettes in the corridors to the bedroom though. Clearly used by smokers who dont respect the rules - but likewise, it was quite stale suggesting frequent and not frowned upon.
Our room was through an additional door and this side of the door had hardly any evidence of cigarette smoke and once in the bedroom it was a fresh room with clean bedding - phew!
Unfortunately constuction work outside began at 7:20am on a SUNDAY!! (Not the fault of the hotel)
