Friendly, helpful team, went the extra mile to make feel welcome.Rooms clean and well maintained, odd that one of our rooms had its bathroom outside its room so anyone could use it?Continental breakfast was one of the best we have had and well worth the money.

Beautiful place to be. They have a special range of dishes which are cooked with craft and well distinguished from the rest. The service and treatment you get is that worth of royalty. It's a place you can visit over and over again without getting bored

Good location, bizzare decoration. New shower and toilet. Needs a new carpet up the stairs. OK for one night visit. Don't advise a week there. You may find cheaper rates nearby at the Queen's Hotel. Continental breakfast only, which was OK.

Room was decent. It is more akin to a B&B. It has no lounge or bar that I could see. Fine if you just want some place to lay your head for the night. It is fairly central for Girvan and Turnberry is nearby. It is 35 minutes from Cairnryan.

Nice welcome, good location, full sky package on TV. Room a bit tired, but OK for one night. Shame no cooked breakfast, as stated on the website. Dinner had to be booked in advance. A quiet wee hotel with limited bar times. Good as a last resort.

We had a very enjoyable two night stay in the Royal to attend a wedding nearby. There is no reception desk but if you ring the owner he appears instantly and is very attentive. This is an old building.  …

Stayed in a double room for one night whilst visiting family. The room was spacious and clean and had excellent amenities. Lots of toiletries and continental breakfast was good. Sky sports was a nice benefit.

We were staying overnight in Girvan to attend a family event. We booked a room in the Royal Hotel with breakfast through Hotels.com. When we arrived at 2pm to check in, the hotel looked shut down. …
