The Celtic Royal Hotel

Good Spot, lovely view, fantastic people. Swimming pool was good fun too.

Lovely hotel, the location of the hotel isn’t far from most attractions. A perfect destination for tourist visiting the North.

The hotel is ok if you book it for 3 people or less. I booked it for my family of 4 and the description on the booking site was different from what I had. Description on Trip.com clearly mentioned that I will have 1 double bed and 2 single beds, but 1 single bed finally changed to a sofa bed. I did discuss it with the concierge, and she said the hotel policy can arrange a sofa bed if 3 bed’s bedrooms are full. I did check again, I really didn’t find it on policy page and also room description. Lastly, the sofa bed, I actually don’t think it is a sofa bed. The sofa cannot be extended. The arm of the sofa and the back of the sofa are still there.

Great for a family night away, pool was very good and convenient location to walk to the castle. The bar restaurant food is excellent and very child friendly.

We have stayed before and its a lovely base. Staff are good, we came in with a takeaway and the lady on reception asked if we would like plates and cutlery. Nice touch. Only thing i didn't like was the shower in the bath as you got soaked turning it on . Needs a door that is movable. Would go again . We have been twice in 6 weeks . Only other thing is maybe another staff member at check in as was busy , only one lady on . She was efficient but alone.

I hope the Celtic Royal values the lifeguard Becca. She is an excellent employee. She did more to help us find a great dinner spot then the front desk did. The pool was a welcome respite after days of traveling. It felt to us like the front desk staff were judgmental and cool in talking to us. They seemed to be put out that we were traveling light (with backpacks).

Enjoyed the stay. Met our expectations. Had a lovely breakfast and the staff were really friendly. The facilities were amazing, thank you

Stayed here on the 15th to the 16th of Feb; we had a room for 3 people. We arrived at the hotel and from the outside it looked “nice”… the reception lovely… the receptionist even lovelier. We then went to our room, it was dated. The room was cold, you could hear the cars on the road and when exploring the new digs, there was poop in the toilet. It may have been backflow through the pipes but this pretty much just summed up the experience of the hotel. At the end of the day, it’s a room with a bed and it is what you make it. So we went for food. We were optimistic. This was a mistake. I had the rogan Josh dish, the naan bread was tiny.. not enough naan. Saying this; maybe it was a good thing as I felt horrific for little while afterwards. My relatives got the lamb. It was abysmal. It was either left over from the day before or they had brought it from ASDA across the road and microwaved it. Not value for money. AVOID. (The positive is that ASDA is opposite, so if you found the food to be underwhelming and had some unnerving texture to it, pop across the road and purchase food for a fuller stomach. Later, we went for a swim, the lady on the desk was helpful, she was brilliant. The swimming pool. It was not bad. If you want to use hotel as a base and a bed then book. Don’t go to the restaurant or do but it’s at your peril.
