The hotel has good value accomadation, good food and friendly staff. On the whole enjoyed my stay there, perfect for the weary traveller. More

The Royal Hotel has just had it's closure order lifted by the Food Safety Authority. It is unbelievable that there are still plces like the Royal Hotel in existance. Boyle is a lovely town but the Royal is a no go area and is doing the town more damage than good. Avoid at all osts More

I stayed in this hotel with my husband in July 2011- as it was €29 per room per night, we knew better than to expect too much. It can't be denied that the building is rundown and the decor is dated BUT it is quirky and charming! It has a bohemian, 'hostel' feel to it and is PERFECT for anyone... More

Booked this hotel on line. The reality when we arrived was very different to the photos on line. Hotel in desperate need of repair, inside and out. Rooms very basic and not very clean. Hotel has an unpleasant odour, and in general, not good at all. Locals did not rate hotel, they told us they were embarrsed by it as... More

I can only agree with all the terrible reviews. This hotel has seen no maintenance in 10 years. Sheets and the 2 g Towels clean. Curtains hanging off rails. Toilet seat wonky. Bath fittings broken and filthy. Shower curtain indescribable. Top of wardrobes not dusted in years! Restaurant no longer there. Not a bit like the website. Oh an no... More

Reading through the recent reviews, I am wondering whether there are two Royal hotels in Boyle, or whether maybe there are two sets of rooms, and we just got the ones waiting for a makeover. We booked into The Boyle based a review in the Rough Guide that suggested it was 'modernised and comfortable'. Rates were very cheap for two... More

$29 per room per night - most rooms with more than one bed so great for families. Great food, friendly staff and to listen to the river rushing past as you drift off to sleep is marvellous. A bit shabby in places, but our group had seven or eight rooms and all agreed that the beds and bathrooms were clean... More

Stayed here in November and one time in 2008. I noticed on my last visit the need for urgent and much needed cleanlines and maintenence work to be carried out. When arriving for my one night stay recently this particular hotel has gone from bad times to desperate! The whole inside of the hotel has a very dirty feel to... More
