Good location, a short walk from Muswellbrook Railway Station. Friendly & attentive staff. Food was impeccable with prompt service even on busy nights. Plenty of different areas to sit and enjoy a drink from the bar including a Beer Garden and a separate smoking area. Shared bathroom facilities were well kept and very clean as was the room we stayed in.

The windows looking over the street were very dirty and outside was covered in bird droppings and feathers built up over years - Cleaning this and the roof area below would make all the difference, we know it's an older property and very reasonably priced but this was a major off-putting sight that could be rectified without a lot of cost. Obviously, the road outside is noisy being right on a roundabout and lots of trucks and trains going past, but we were aware of this.

The rooms are amazing, the bed was one of the best beds i have slept in. so easy to check in plus the shower are great. Inside the Royal bar area all i can say it look like a picture out of a magazine. I come up for a 50th Birthday Party

I have hear about this The Royal Breakfast and I have hear it on The Big Sport Breakfast plus at the Birthday Party people ask me where are you staying at and i said The Royal Hotel " They said the Breakfast is a must before you leave. This is the hard part they dont do breakfast anymore

I have heard that the Royal Hotel breakfast from The Big Sport Breakfast plus the local at the Birthday Party " They said the Breakfast at the Royal is a must before you leave. This is the hard part NO breakfast anymore

The room was very clean and comfortable. The bed was really comfortable. The TV was large. The bathroom (ensuite) was very clean, good water pressure. good quality linen provided. The room was air conditioned and also hahad a bar fridge. Tea/coffee making facilities were available. excellent value for money I ate in the restaurant- lovely meals. good size

nothing to write here

I liked how you get left alone and the bedrooms have a slide window ..very lovely staff and would recommend to anyone ...lovely hot showers

Just wanted to experience room with balcony but it was already booked ..nothing else to add ..I still feel like I'm whinging ..having to leave that comfy bed was something as well I didn't like to much ..

Convenient and good value for money. spacious room and quiet

No PowerPoint in the shared bathroom and alternatively there was no mirror in the bedroom. Due to the age of the facility I would like to suggest full length mirrors be placed in the bedrooms near a PowerPoint. It allows for guests to dry and straighten hair and check their clothing is right before going out. Using the camera on selfie mode on a laptop really was not a good option.

Cool little pub stay. Great little country pub.

Balcony room is the smoking balcony. People were drinking and smoking out there till midnight. You can hear everything. Their empty bottles and cigarettes were cleaned for two days. The room has a really musty smell. Needs to be aired out but hard to do with a communal balcony.

Terrific pub in Muswellbrook. Fantastic vibe, staff were all smiles (thanks Jack) beer was cold and dinner was excellent. A first class steak...

The only downside was the hotels proximity to the train tracks and the main road...too many coal trains...

The room was clean, spacious and comfortable. The shared amenities were fine for one night.

Maybe some double glazing on the windows would help, or just clearing out the birds that sound like they are nesting right outside.

The service and meals were outstanding, and you could tell the staff enjoyed their job and care for their clientele. Any request was meet with a smile and you were never felt that you were being an inconvenience.

Nothing comes to mind.
