The location is in the center of Lancaster. There is a supermarket nearby. Shopping is convenient and the service is friendly. Milk, cereal, fruit, etc. are placed at the door. You can pick them up as needed in the morning and evening. The room and bathroom are spacious, comfortable and hygienic. There is a bar on the first floor. But it's not noisy. Parking spaces nearby are tight. I'm satisfied with my stay. It's recommended.

We had a last minute reservation here for our son’s graduation. The staff were so helpful and accommodation with all our changes and queries. Great accommodation with very comfortable beds and good facilities. A wee bit noisy on the main road but nothing to stop a comfortable nights sleep. Excellent location in walkable distance from everything you need and a lovely bar and outside space to enjoy the weather. Very reasonable parching right outside the hotel too. Highly recommend.

Needed a room for 1 night while visiting our daughter at Uni. The reviews were excellent so went with it. Very glad we did. It really is in the centre, the room was spacious, very clean, comfy bed and great shower. The staff were very welcoming and there’s a great bar and courtyard outside. Great place.

What a lovely find in the centre of Lancaster. We received a very warm and efficient welcome with lots of helpful information. The room was absolutely delightful and came with extra complimentary breakfast snacks. We prefer a vibrant spot and enjoyed the atmosphere of the beer garden, below' and also drinks in the bar. Would happily return.

Spent a lovely late afternoon having drinks with friends in the lovely beer garden before moving indoors when we got cold ( there are patio heaters). Great service from friendly staff, good range of drinks on offer. Nicely decorated on the whole. The pub was quite quiet for a Saturday night. Toilets were clean and well presented.

My twin brother and I were pub hopping around this part of the city when we decided to drop by The Royal Hotel & Bar and what a great find. Walking in and I knew I would enjoy my visit here, interior is superb, dark wood features abound throughout this bar,great decor and furnishings, an eye catching serving bar dominates the main room and there's plenty of seating options spread throughout this bar, its just a really good bar to unwind in. We ordered beers ,these were served in excellent condition being iced cold and sparkling, we chilled out and soaked up the great vibe in this busy and popular bar while we sipped our beers. Beer served here was spot on, a crisp, golden lager style beer bursting with taste and very easy to drink especially when served freezing cold as in this bar. We really enjoyed our beers in here before we moved on and although our visit was only fleeting for a first time visit to here we had a great time. The Royal Hotel & Bar is easy to locate along Thurnham Street. Opening hours are; Monday to Sunday, open from 11am. Well worth checking out if you're in the area.

Nice hotel staff. It’s more centered around the bar which is very fine. Rooms are small and breakfast very limited. The location is great in the center of town.
