The Spotlight on The Royal Hotel

Charming Comfort in the Heart of Elgin

Set in the scenic town of Elgin, The Royal Hotel is a cozy and sustainable bed and breakfast just a short walk from Elgin Cathedral. Blending traditional charm with modern convenience, this relaxed spot offers a welcoming base for music fans exploring the Moray concert scene. With free private parking, complimentary Wi-Fi, and a warm, family-friendly atmosphere, it’s a great pick for those looking for a comfortable, affordable stay.

Why Concert-goers love it

Music lovers appreciate the hotel’s central location, which puts it within easy reach of local venues and late-night transportation. With a quiet setting and thoughtful amenities like flexible check-in from 15:00 and check-out at 11:00, it’s easy to relax before or after a big show. Plus, the on-site luggage storage makes it convenient for early arrivals or late departures.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a well-located and budget-friendly base
  • Solo travelers attending a once-in-a-lifetime gig
  • Couples making a romantic weekend out of a concert
  • Fans who want a quiet space to unwind after the music ends
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who don’t want to compromise on comfort

Food and Drink Options

The on-site restaurant serves up lunch and dinner, perfect for grabbing a bite before heading out. The bar offers a relaxed spot for a drink post-show, and while there’s no 24/7 room service, the staff are friendly and accommodating. Breakfast is available, ideal if you’ve had a late night and need a leisurely start.

Nightlife Options

While The Royal Hotel doesn’t host live music itself, it’s mere minutes from Elgin’s pubs and bars, many of which host local acts or stay open late. The hotel bar is a good spot for a quiet nightcap with a local whisky or craft beer.

What People Say

Reviewers often highlight the friendly staff, clean rooms, and great value for money as standout features. Many guests also love the central location, making it easy to explore Elgin or get to nearby music venues quickly.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the rooms are on the simpler side, and soundproofing isn’t perfect – so light sleepers might want to pack earplugs. There’s also no elevator, which could be a consideration for those with heavy gear or mobility concerns.

The Bottom Line

A friendly, affordable, and well-located option, The Royal Hotel is a great choice for concert-goers who want to stay close to the action without breaking the bank.
