Royal Hotel Angus

First impressions were not brilliant, ie walking through alleyway from car park, meeting some young lads with skateboards using it as a shortcut. Staff were welcoming and efficient. The room (24) was warm. However, the refurb is badly needed (notice about it in the hall). I was surprised that you had to ask for a hairdryer, and also at the poor provision of toiletries. However the biggest issue for me was the quality of the bed and the pillows. The bed was truly awful. I have stayed in camping pods on campsites with mattresses much better than this one. The pillows badly need to be replaced too. On the positive side, there were plenty of milks on the hostess tray and decaf coffee as well as regular. The breakfast was fine and served quickly. All the staff I met were fine. The shower was good, but no bath math. Even if refurbishment is planned, I would have thought the most basic thing in a hotel is a comfortable bed and decent pillows. That would have tipped the balance for me.

Loved this area and the hotel staff! Everyone super nice and helpful. The area was great! It had many shops and some restaurants. I recommend Ruby nail salons (great pedicure and massage chairs!). I also must mention that I had an excellent massage therapy session with Suzanne at Saatva Wellness Center! As to the hotel, dining was really good! On-site was a pool and sauna. There is an elevator from ground to first floor only. I was very grateful to be able to get a first floor room as I have mobility issues. The room I had was very nice! Lovely view of other local area and neighbor garden from my room. Nice size bathroom. Beautiful outside seating area. Great breakfast and bakery offerings in the lobby. Only minor disappointment: hot tub not working in the pool area.

Nice sun deck in good weather

When we arrived we noticed that the toilet seat was loose, the room had seen better days, the floor in the room and bathroom was slopping, we were told that that house keeping would be done every two days. The toilet seat was reported three time, the final time Mo the receptionist came up and tried to fix it, but she was unable too, but said she would get it replaced in the morning which she did herself, she also replaced the towels and toiletries as house keeping hadn't taken place. We never seen house keeping the whole time we where there, we stayed from the 16th July until the 20th July. Mo is a really friendly lady who was willing to go the extra mile which was very much apricated, the breakfast and staff were the only positive part of the stay.

Present stay at the Royal Angus. Parking was easy to access at the rear of the property. Food is decent and well cooked, rooms are tired and bathrooms are tiny but according to signs on the walls refurbs are happening ? Location to town is very convenient. Staff are very friendly

A great location in the town and guests have access to the gym and swimming pool included.

It’s central, breakfast fine, good car parking, fine for a night, not much shopping around, too many empty shops in the area for any more than one night

Nice comfortable hotel. Room was comfortable. Staff are friendly. Breakfast good. Minor complaint was the sink in the room was slow to drain. Rooms are not the most modern, but comfortable. Being there for a weekend, people from the nightclub downstairs were a little noisy outside, but not unbearable.

Average hotel. Nice staff but the rooms are not worth the money.

Great hotel. Great service. Will be back again

A very pleasant stay for 1 night. Very friendly staff, very nice breakfast. Easy parking too.

Reception was friendly upon arrival but room was essentially a box. Walk in wardrobe style bathroom. Parrot knocking about somewhere in reception. Pretty grim surroundings. Breakfast was very poor.

The parrot is cool, breakfast was excellent, shower superb! Cozy little hotel that is very quiet. Would absolutely stay there again.

Quiet enjoyable break. Rooms and shower warm, service friendly and hotel clean. Jus one or two bits needed attention, however, they have signs stating that they are currently upgrading. Breakfast was great to start you off and the pool and gym are a bonus. Location good for walks and facilities in the town. We would come back for another stay if in Forfar

Staff were very nice but overall we were horrified at the condition of the room 🙈🙈☹️☹️

This is a good basic hotel, think it may be in the process of being refurbished. Had a problem with my room, they changed rooms and apologised profusely. Friendly staff and good full breakfast. I was visiting friends so was out all day.

Absolutely loved the atmosphere and different sitting rooms. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was good, even had a vegan option. Also the cute parrot was an added bonus.

Needs updating fusty smell in room running tap extraction fan in toilet very dusty went for breakfast no one there turned up 8.30 we just left

Main complaint was about size of room. Nowhere to sit in room apart from the bed. No bedside table on one side. So eg for the time I had to disturb my wife who had one on her side. In bathroom there were no mixer taps in the sink and traditional ones there did not match and were hard to shut. Mattress did not have enough foam on the springs so one felt the springs. Otherwise car park was good and breakfast was fine. I booked there because one can check in late.

Situé dans le centre de Forfar, letablissement est pratique pour une nuit de passage sur un road trip le long (et proche) de la côte. Rien à redire en ce qui concerne les chambres qui offre le standard habituel outre-manche. La chambre edt même spacieuse. L'établissement permet aussi l'accès à un espace détente doté d'une piscine pour se detendre en fin de journée. Un bémol neanmoins en ce qui concerne le petit-déjeuner... En effet, la plupart des composants du "full scottish" semblent avoir été passé à la friteuse et sont gorgés d'huile (même les champignons)

The location of the hotel was good for where I needed to be the following day. The hotel could do with freshening up a bit

We used the Royal Hotel for attending a wedding just outside Forfar. It is a basic hotel which has a pool which was nice enough although the sauna was out of action. The hotel having a car park helps. The room was smallish and the toilet/shower room was a bit cramped. The bed was hard and small. Our Tv was not working but they quickly fixed that.

Old hotel but we’ll done up right in the heart of the town friendly and helpful staff in this family run hotel Good breakfast Will definitely stay again

The hotel is idiosyncratic due to its age, but the staff are excellent, the breakfasts great and the bathrooms small. Being an old building the floorboards tend to creak and some of the doors need a bit of a shove to open, or close.They have lots of odd signs as you can see from the attached photos. At the time of writing the cost of a taxi from Aberdeen airport is £110-£120 each way. The rooms are comfortable. I had thought I had booked a double bed, but I was only offered a room with a single bed. The idea that a single guest might want a double bed obviously was a new concept to the hotel. There was also some issue between the hotel and this website over payment but as I had pre-paid, it wasn't my problem. It's OK for a night, or two and the hotel is right in the middle of the town. Reception is on the first floor, but the whole of Forfar is in a bit of a time warp and appears to be stuck in the 1970's.

Nice stay, but unfortunately the Hotel was a bit noisy and the curtains were very thin so could see the light , maybe a block out curtain would be better.

Good selection of cocktails

Very Friendly and helpful with a nice room and good breakfast

Cleanliness outstanding. Problem with floor level that is all. Fantastic breakfast. Really enjoyed our stay

Used this hotel for business in local area. Fantastic place to stay

Charming facility in the heart of Forfar. The spa and fitness facility are a real bonus.

Nice hotel but the bathroom was very small .. Staff all great and welcoming , breakfast tasty and plentiful

Great parking. Small but comfortable room.

Staff were very helpfull and freindly, rooms were comfortable and clean, food in the restaurant was good.

Free parking. Great welcome at reception. Room was comfortable. Meals were very good and staff were happy and helpful.

Customer service was excellent from check in to check out. Outstanding!

Great Gym and pool, good value for money, rooms are clean if a little tired, very friendly staff and good parking.

Every single member of staff could not have been friendlier or more helpful. We were up before breakfast service and they made sure we had cereal, juice, coffee and fruit. Squeezed us in for dinner even though we were late in deciding where to eat. Everything we needed they tried to accommodate. Food was nice too. Downside is the street noise from people and cars but that's to be expected for a town centre location.

Nice hotel, great service good value

Das Hotel wirkt von außen unscheinbar. Es liegt sehr zentral im Ort und bietet kostenlose Parkplätze. Unser Zimmer hat in keinerlei Hinsicht den angepriesen Bilder aus dem Internet entsprochen. Es war verwohnt, alt und hatte einen 1-Sterne Charakter. Es gab nichtmal einen Schrank, um seine Kleidung aufzuhängen. Licht am Bett gab es ebenfalls nicht. Das Bad war klein und alt. Der Preis für die Übernachtung ist nicht gerechtfertigt.

Decent hotel, bit pricey for what it way.

A great little hotel with plenty of character. What it lacks in moderness it makes up with the enthusiasm of the staff. I spoke with one of the staff and there is a rolling program of upgrades so I can't give it top marks for condition but it will get them I'm assured so.
