Royal Hotel — Restaurant in Armidale

I found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. My bed was comfy and everything was clean & fresh. Impossible to fault the location, with just about everything you could need less than a few hundred metres away. The hot water in the ladies bathroom literally takes around 5 minutes to start to come through (unless someone else has just been running it), so keep your clothes on if you want to have a shower until it does or you'll freeze to death 😂 There was no toilet paper at all in any of the toilets by the 3rd day and the bin in the communal lounge was overflowing - I had to notify a member of staff before this was rectified. My biggest problem though was the level of noise on Fri & Sat nights. Whilst this is to be expected & the hotel does state in advance that weekends are noisier, it was far louder than reasonable (especially considering the rooms cost more on these nights). I think my room was directly above the speakers &/or stage because the walls & window were actually vibrating at times and I couldn't hear the TV even though it's right at the end of the bed only a few metres away from my ears. So whilst I enjoyed my stay at the Royal Hotel Armidale from Tues to Thurs nights I could not recommend staying there on Fri or Sat, especially given that there are quiet venues not far away that cost only a small...

Do not stay in this hotel if you actually plan on sleeping. The bar downstairs has a sound system that has an automatic shut off around 2:30-3am, even on weeknights. According to the manager, “sometimes they turn it off when they go home, sometimes they don’t”. I didn’t get much sleep the night before my exam that I was in town for, then had to drive 6 hours home afterwards while very tired which was dangerous. I was practically in tears when I checked out the next morning because of the horrible experience and the lady working there didn’t even care enough to tell the manager. A month later I get a phone call apology, but it turns out they only called because their booking site that I paid through had an error and they wanted my credit card directly. He did offer me a meal voucher for when I’m next in town but I’m never going back there and shouldn’t have even had to pay for the last night. What a terrible place for accomodation! Don’t bother calling yourself a hotel! For anyone reading this, it’s a great place to go for dinner but save yourself a bad night and stay...

OK pub food, narrow passageways between tables, can be difficult for Wheelchair users to negotiate and enter/exit a table when pub is crowded. Off street parking available, with one space marked as wheelchair Accessible, HOWEVER, it is just a standard sized carpark space and if you park there with a car next to you, you will not be able to extract your wheelchair from your car. Similarly, If the space next to the accessible parking space was vacant when you arrived, but you return to find it being taken, you will be stranded and unable to access your car until either the vehicle next door leaves, or you find the driver and ask them to move their car or you can walk a short distance, parking your wheelchair somewhere in the carpark to then access your car to back it out so you can then retrieve and put your Wheelchair inside. None of these are very good options obviously. There is an accessible parking space in the next block, in a westerly direction from the pub, but probably not a trip you would like to do in a wheelchair at night when the...
