Reviews for Royal Exchange Hotel
Review 1：Not to be pedantic, but the TV remote in Room 11 did not work properly. As well, rather bland bacon with overcooked eggs, not "over easy" as requested. Bacon was rubbery, tasteless and fatty. No doubt a one-off that day.
Review 2：Great staff, very comfortable hotel, well maintained. Highly recommended.
Review 3：Nothing
Review 4：The refurbishment of this beautiful hotel is spot on and the staff are very friendly and helpful. The restaurant is also very good and it's so nice to be able to have a lovely meal in house.
Review 5：The shower is over the bath and for the mature the step into the bath is somewaht difficult and potentially dangerous. There is no lift.
Review 6：Magnificent building.
Review 7：Noisy group on balcony till 1am. A group of 12 meant we couldn't eat there. Staff were polite but not friendly. No parking.
Review 8：Beautiful building and comfortable beds. Great deep bath.
Review 9：The bed was very comfortable and the room, though not large, was pleasant. Bathroom was good. We loved the beautifully renovated Art Deco interiors especially in the lounge/dining area where the two big fires added warmth and atmosphere.

Review 71：The yesteryear luxuries. The fires, gracious lounges, genuine good old time service with a smile. The Art Deco decor must be preserved as it is unique. Thank you for a lovely visit.
Review 72：Room was very comfortable and good size - it was away from the street and very quiet. Visited restaurant twice - excellent food, good value. Staff were friendly and low key. Would definitely stay again.
Review 73：That there simply was not enough space , I found myself having to sit things on the toilet & the same in bedroom , nowhere to sit anything , was a huge bed necessary ? I went to boil the kettle & ended up doing that on the very small vanity , as for the case , kept tripping over it !
Review 74：Nice & central , nicely furnished & extremely quiet
Review 75：This time we had a chance to go to the dining room for dinner, and it was excellent - food was seriously good, the atmosphere was great with a pianist - who played non-intrusive music, and of course the art deco style of the building makes the restaurant an absolute delight, and on top of that Jo is so helpful and caring to all her guests.
Review 76：Room very small and hardly a place for our suitcases, but still a nice stay.
Review 77：Erin who checked us in was most friendly and helpful when we didn't like the first room offered as it was dark and only had one small window looking at an adjoining wall. We stayed for 2 nights so were most grateful for her understanding. Our new room was comfortable - although small, and had 2 windows and lots of natural light. The hotel is lovely with all the old features like high ceilings and wonderful upholstery and furnishings. Beautifully decorated. Modern air con in room which was wonderful.Lovely lounge downstairs - disappointed the fire wasn't lit.
