We absolutely loved our stay at the Glenroyal! Everything was very clean and the beds were lovely. The Shoda Cafe and Arkle Bar both were exceptional, and we had one particular server in the bar (Katie), who was fantastic!

I absolutely loved this hotel, it’s in a beautiful, quiet town with shops and a park nearby and the rooms are just superb. I remember even showing my friends the bathroom and they had the same reaction, jaws were dropped on how absolutely nice they were! Even front desk were kind, was able to have a good chat with some of them. Definitely would go there, when visiting the country again.

Lovely stay at Glenroyal. This is the 3rd year we’ve visited and it lived up to previous expectations. Everything is tastefully presented and well maintained. Family room very comfortable and suitably spacious for 4 people. The kids loved the little adventurers club and swimming pool. Had a lovely meal in the enclosure restaurant too. Hope to be back another time!
