Nice hotel
Great staff, great views but if your walking into town be prepared to walk back up a big hill. Lovely breakfast. Our room was basic but it was the cheapest, damp smell down our corridor, corridor lights didnt stop flickering and room was far too hot in the night. The downstairs area is really nice especially at night time all lit up.

4/10 Fair

Sleepless nights at the RO Hotel.
Room 128 had no view at all just a stone wall 2ft in front of window. There was bird netting between outside wall and bedroom window. There where Pigeons flying inside netting and birds where on window sill cooing all night long. Which kept us awake all night. This needs to be addressed by management.

10/10 Exceptional

Loved it, a great place for a weekend break.
Great stay. Staff were all friendly and excellent, room was comfy, spotless. Using the cast to tv was very easy (other hotels take note, this is how it should be done). Further to other reviews, the hotel is on a bit of a hill so if you're compromised in your walking it may be a struggle and it could get a bit wearing if I was there for a week but it was fine for the weekend. Breakfast was also great although maybe bigger plates would stop even a couple of items feeling crammed in. The room wasn't the quietest, could hear a lot when the footfall was high so the room could have done with some excluders just to cover the gaps below the door to deaden the noise a bit but that's being really picky. A great stay and would definitely stay again.
