Comfortable room with excellent shower
Friendly service with a comfortable room and coffee service. The bed was very comfortable with excellent on suit shower.
On arrival the room was very cold, the heating should really be switched on.
Breakfast was poor, a half of a small tomato and hard bacon that you couldn't cut.

Freshly renovated historic hotel.
I have been staying here for a decade, but recent upgrades are very welcome. They have transformed a quaint but dated hotel into a fabulous 4 star hotel with a very interesting history. Great pub and restaurant integrated into the hotel as well. Highly recommended.

Single room stay , 1 night only
Single bed a generous size
All very clean and comfortable
Only criticism is that the pillows are very stiff and not very comfy and no pillow protection on them.

Royal Treatment at the Kings Arms & Royal Hotel.
The Kings Arms & Royal Hotel is a wonderfully comfortable and cozy (as in warm, not small) Inn. There are many sitting areas downstairs at the Inn’s restaurant and bar/pub. The rooms are comfortable and well appointed. The entire staff is so welcoming, accommodating, responsive and friendly.

The Kings Arms & Royal Hotel
The Hotel is well situated right on the high street of Godalming and a 10min walk from the station. The staff were super helpful, friendly and welcoming. Our room was spacious but cosy. With everything you would need for an overnight or long stay..... with the coffee machine as an extra little bonus. I would certainly recommend.

It is an older building. Well, given that Peter The Great (Russia) slept there, I guess it would be. That said, fixtures and fittings all work well. No lift, though if that's important to you. Charming staff. In heart of lovely small town. Nice public rooms.

Historic hotel. Amazing welcoming and spa vibe when arrived to the room. Great amenities. The only downside is that it gets very hot at night.
