ROYAL HOTEL AND ROYAL IVY

Great Afternoon Tea My wife and I love an afternoon tea and have had some in pretty special places. The Royal Hotel didn’t disappoint. The restaurant is bright and fresh with plush seats, a mixture of tables and some booths. The staff were all super friendly and helpful, particularly the young waitress who served us. The food was excellent quality with one of the best home made scones I’ve had. There were plenty of sandwiches and cakes, the bread was very fresh and soft. We were offered top ups of hot drinks but there were plenty to start with so we didn’t bother. I have a big appetite but left there stuffed and looking forward to our next visit. Well worth the drive from Edinburgh.

Amazing staff members Attended a conference last night car broke down had to wait for rac. Molly a staff member brought us in to wait and gave us tea and somewhere warm to sit while we waited. Amazing lady couldn’t do enough to help me thank you so much molly

Nice hotel, rooms need an update Stayed here for a couple of nights as i was working, normal stay in the Dunblane Hydro but its got very expensive as I don't use any of the facilities, booked the Royal at short notice, good location, very grand downstairs with a good restaurant which i used both nights, staff all very friendly and a decent car park Rooms.. very tired, said they had started an update which they need, good enough for what i wanted but its not luxury, i needed to run about in my shower to get wet That's the negative, overall a good stay, excellent value, good breakfast and DBB deal, would use again

Royal disaster Attended a dinner dance and stayed in the hotel. The good bits: the ground level was lovely, function room & lounge area. The food and service at the function were first class, that's where the good bits end. Our room was a star - a dis a star. Very small with an unpleasant smell, window did not open. Ceiling light was very dull, I lost 3 contact lens in the process of putting them in! No bedside lamps, only an angle poise lamp pointed at the ceiling. The curtains were hanging off the rail. In the bathroom, the water was lying in the bath trap and the ceiling was missing a spotlight leaving a hole. It's just as well it was a small room or there might have been a bigger list. The breakfast was adequate but was cold as were the serving plates and the tea. I would like to compliment the staff who were all very pleasant and helpful, considering they must be dealing with numerous complaints and issues on daily basis. There will not be a return visit from us.

Faulty Towers Firstly can I congratulate the staff as they all worked hard and were always helpful. The facade is lovely BUT as soon as you head to the bedrooms the disaster starts, we were a large group who were stay the weekend to attend our annual dinner dance. Everyone had various issues from damp smelly dirty rooms, some without running water others little lighting? I could go on and on. First morning breakfast was barely edible second morning a bit better.The function suite was better and the food during the dinner was much better. Please please think twice think thrice before booking into Faulty Towers an experience I DONT want to every try again?
