Very much budget accommodation, the decor is faded and tired, but, for the price, it was great. Spacious room, quiet, air conditioning. Decent pub grub. Comfy bed.

Humble for an industrial town

I enjoyed visiting my home town. This is my second stay at The Royal hotel. I remember looking at the hotel as a teenager because the rock bands that visited the town would stay there lol. It's a humble place. It's Scunthorpe

Basic but good!

The Royal Hotel is good enough. We come to Scunthorpe to see family and need a place to stay and the Royal hotel does the job. No frills, inexpensive and you get what you pay for. The bed is comfortable. The family room is spacious enough. It's a little dated but comfortable enough, staff are friendly and we've stayed here a couple of times and will continue to stay here

Basic room

Cheap hotel, so expect the facilities to be the same. Very dated indeed, with a funky smell in the bathroom and rusty sink/bath. Somewhere to sleep only, not a room to hang around in and relax.

It's a tired pub, which we were aware of so knew it wouldnt be 1st class. Let down by dreadful smell of cigarettes in the corridors to the bedroom though. Clearly used by smokers who dont respect the rules - but likewise, it was quite stale suggesting frequent and not frowned upon. Our room was through an additional door and this side of the door had hardly any evidence of cigarette smoke and once in the bedroom it was a fresh room with clean bedding - phew! Unfortunately constuction work outside began at 7:20am on a SUNDAY!! (Not the fault of the hotel)

It was difficult to communicate with the management. It was cheap but the rooms were very small. There was no soap and shampoo and it seemed very difficult to get that. We finally got soap. No shampoo.

Ok stay but probably not the best value for money

Staff were brilliant all through Only disappointing thing was I’d booked a room with a double bed and ended up in a room that had two singles so wasn’t the best comfort but I arrived later in the evening and was so tired so didn’t go back to reception but wished I had as didn’t get the best nights rest Bathroom was somewhat tired and shower hose leaked but managed at least water was hot

Awful

We booked this family room as it stated a double bed and two singles. We were with our two grandchildren a boy age 15 and a girl aged 12 1/2. Therefore single beds required. When we checked in we were told it was a bed and sofa bed. When I said no it’s singles they said we don’t have any. I said when booking it states that and their answer was it’s not up to date. The reception is hid away on side of basically a pub/resturant. It is dark and definitely needs refurbishing. When we arrived back from our event there was no parking as the pub was full. It is situated on a main road by traffic lights so no parking on the road. We had to park right up where the staff kitchen area was. There should be parking clearly marked for people staying there. It is somewhere I will never stay at again and anyone going to please double check what you are booking. I wish I had.

Horrible

Staff in the pub were great but everything about the hotel side was horrible. Surfaces were sticky , carpets really badly stained, everywhere smelt of mould, walls were crumbling, no hot water, cold water tap on sink didnt work, bed was clean but lumpy and the headboard was filthy worn and stained. Mould and rust in the bathroom, bedside lights didnt work . If I'd brought bedding I'd have chosen to sleep on the floor of my work van!!

People working at the Royal were great. The hotel was a little dated and the room was missing a few bulbs for the lights.. it served our purpose and was in town close to everything we needed. Spent every night in the bar area, drinks and food were good prices.. for breakfast go to the Blue bell inn…

Ok at best

Most staff were great but one particular woman was rather rude when we were double checking our sleeping arrangements. We booked a room for 3 with 1 double bed and 2 singles on arrival we were told it was just 2 doubles, we was happy to suck it up but the lady we spoke to was very aggressive and even said she was going to cancel the booking because she only saw it on the day despite booking 5 weeks prior. Rooms desperately need a refurbishment but did the job for a boozy stop over.

This hotel could not be much worse.

I was not very happy staying at this hotel. The door to my room for the night was very scratched. Some of the wallpaper in the room was peeling. The hot water tap in the en-suite bathroom sink was falling off. I slept in my clothes because I was not sure how clean the bedding was. I was told before I went upstairs that breakfast would only be a continental breakfast because they were having work done in their kitchen. I did not go downstairs for breakfast. I think that this may be a hotel for the homeless or for immigrants. I will NOT choose this hotel if I ever go to Scunthorpe again.
