Very near town centre.very grand building but needs a re decorate. No staff on reception on arrival.you have to ring to get attention- staff where stood at back door having a fag. Room was a good size but we where disappointed to find bottle tops in the plug hole. Breakfast wasnt good- got food that i couldnt eat served on... More

If it weren't for the fact that they price matched the £37.50 price i found after i had booked for £43, it would have been one star. It isn't all the hotels fault though, but mainly it is. When we were looking for a hotel, on booking.com, this hotel looked pretty ok, so we booked at £43 for the night,... More

I really think the Royal Kings Arms is getting a bit of unnecessary criticism from some reviewers. Sure, it could certainly benefit from some investment in renovations, etc, but for the price that you pay it is great value for money. The hotel is really well located just a short walk from the train station and right in the centre... More

Stayed here for a number of nights in March and April, and had an excellent experience. As other reviewers have noted some the decor is a little tired in one or two places, but it has an abundance of character and everything works just fine - even the antique lift! Some of the rooms are very nice, especially as the... More

Me and partner booked a one night stay over the Internet then read the reviews on this page. The feel of them wasn't good but I'm very glad I ignored them. I feel the hotel has a historic charm and fits in well with Lancaster. It's in a great location and liked the idea of the excluder windows. They kept... More

I have to agree with other reviews that this hotel appears tired and old with very dated fixtures and fittings, but when you consider it a listed building in a city centre, its not doing so bad. I booked a very reasonably priced single room on the same day as I was arriving. I struggled to find the complimentary car... More

We chose this hotel over the likes of Premier Inn and Travel Lodge, because of it's character. The building looked so beautiful from some of the pictures we had seen online. The location of the hotel was perfect for us and it had some lovely views over Lancaster Castle and Priory. The one thing that we were extremely pleased about... More

Centre location with parking very good. We had a comfortable one night stop. The building is old with a lot of character and cannot be compared with the likes of Premier Inn but the service was very friendly and little extras like tea making & free internet a welcome bonus. Breakfast was excellent and served with a smile. We would... More

We visit Lancaster every 6 - 8 weeks to visit family and by far this is the best option and value for money. The Holiday Inn and premier Inn are soulless, yes this needs tlc and breakfast was somewhat chaotic but it had character and wasn't on an industrial estate ... Oh and it cost £40! Yes it was noisy...
