I booked this hotel online because it had fabulous reviews. They charged our credit card in advance of our arrival so there was no chance of cancelling if we didn't like it. Pulling up across the street from the hotel was very disappointing to say the least. The outside is very shabby looking. If it hadn’t been paid for in... More

A spur of the moment visit to Stonehaven resulted in a fairly last minute booking for one night only at the Royal. The welcome was friendly and the check in quick and efficient. The room was spotless with a comfy bed and a nice modern bathroom. (I particularly liked the individually set keycode locks). We ate in the restaurant and... More

Travelling between Aberdeen and Johnshaven so decided to stop off about halfway at Stonehaven, just on spec, to get some lunch. We saw the Royal Hotel so we called in. The dining room was attached to the bar but was distant enough so as not to be too distracting, and there was a tv in there showing the football results... More

Easy check-in. Room eleven was our reservation. Shown to our room and we had a sea view. Clean and tidy. Not huge but fine for our purpose. Double bed,... More

Booked for 3 nights over new year to see the Fireballs. A very warm welcome but on being taken to our room was surprised at the fact that the curtains were on the floor and not attempt had been made to re hang them although the guy who showed us to our room said he would sort it. We aslo... More

Booked for a three night stay, over a week in advance, only to be told on arrival that they had overbooked and no rooms were available. The hotel however had decided not to phone me, but to book me into a cheaper, local inferior B&B, but attempt to charge me the full hotel rate for the three nights. The B&B... More

We stayed the night after a lovely family meal. The food was great, with 11 of us eating there was a variety of meals chosen and everybody commented on how good the food was. All the meals arrived hot and obviously freshly cooked. I can highly recommend the Cullen Skink, definitely one of the best I have tasted. Our main... More
