“An excellent choice”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

We chose this hotel because you were able to stay for Saturday night only. Several of the other hotels in the area would only take bookings for two nights at the weekend. It proved an excellent choice. They have an excellent restaurant, much of the food being sourced locally. The local cider and perry are worth trying. The restaurant was obviously popular with the locals. Breakfast was cooked to an equally good standard, I enjoyed locally smoked salmon. We had a very comfortable stay, with the staff being welcoming. The hotel is in a central location, on the High Street. Do check the one way system before trying to find the hotel. This hotel is worth returning to.

“Great Hotel (Discovered in error!)”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 January 2012

Stayed here 29th December 2011 for 1 night en route to our new years vacation.

Having previously stayed in this town before at the Royal hotel we decided to do so again, however when we arrived at the Royal to check in (booked revious evening online via booking.com) we were told there was no booking for us 1 so we gave them the paperwork and the receptionist pointed out we were booked at the King hotel!! what a disappointment at the time as we did enjoy our previous stay here.

However, after making our way to the King Hotel we were greeted courteously and shown promptly to our room.......and boy it turned out to be far better than we had at the royal! so all was well again and we really enjoyed our evening there.

The atmosphere was excellent with a lot of locals in the hotel bar and the restaurant full to the brim that evening , lucky we had booked, and the food was excellent.

So to cap it all we would choose this hotel first if we decide to stay in Ross on Wye again.

“Stayed overnight for a local wedding, everything perfect”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2011

Best steak and ale pie at lunchtime you'll taste and a great breakfast. Nice room and modern bathroom. Walk around Ross in the morning, visit the information centre just down the road to get a feel for the history of Ross. Brilliant.
