The photograph of the room seen here is fake. The rooms are disgusting and damp with mildew. The ceilings are falling apart with electrical wiring hanging out. The beds are childrens size and appear to have been recovered from a scrap yard (The mattreses are as flat as the pyrenees). The level of humidity and sharp smell of chlorine makes... more

This hotel should be closed down on Health and Safety grounds alone. The windows in the room were all locked and signs on them saying not to open them. When I checked the fire safety instructions the boxes giving the details of where to assemble and where to set off the alarm were not filled in. There was no phone... more

I completley agree with the review below if you want the upmarket hotels then that's where you go. I could not fault the hotel or it's staff in anyway, everyone went out of there way to make ourstay really comfortable. Rooms and public areas very clean, could do with some decorating but adds to the charm of this country style... more

This really is a terrible hotel with dowdy bedrooms decorated like the 1970s, fusty bathrooms and sloppy staff. A nearby dog also keeps you awake all night long. £5 a night would be too much to pay. more

My husband and I spent the night here as we were going to a wedding nearby. Although, at £75 B&B, it wasn't overly expensive, the standards were well below an acceptable level. The place doesn't appear to have been decorated since the Bay City Rollers were in the charts, and I have some doubts about how long it is since... more

The Royal Hotel, Forfar. We had a family meal at this hotel last week and the food in general was disappointing. Most dishes were deep fried and had been over cooked. The staff were okay but could have been better trained, as when they came to take the food order they didn't ask if we wanted wine and then they... more

My wife and I booked a room for one night on line based upon the web page. The advertising is very misleading, our room wes terrible, old, dirty, and should be condemned, the chair by the bed was discusting, the bed was old and the springs were protruding. The en-suite was a joke like a tiny cupboard with a door... more

We stayed as part of a group and on arrival there was a problem with the booking - not having enough rooms available, not only for our group but others arriving as well. Luckily we sorted out the room arrangements between ourselves - the management offered each room a bottle of champagne for gesture of goodwill. Staff were very helpful... more
