About this place The Royal Toby Hotel

The Royal Toby is a mainstream hotel and events venue in Castleton on the edge of Rochdale. It's listed as gay-friendly, but it is not a gay hotel. Its reviews (4.4 from almost 1,900) mention weddings, functions and comfortable rooms. Note the location: it's in Rochdale, not central Manchester, so Canal Street and the Gay Village are about 10 miles away. Castleton has a rail station with trains into Manchester Victoria, so it can work as a cheaper base if you have a car or don't mind the train. Check the date of your last train back from the Village before you book.

Features

Gay-friendly (straight venue) Card payments accepted WiFi Day venue Evening venue Year-round

I was here for a Wedding. Nina on the reception was amazing couldn't do enough for you. The one sad thing was I lost my earnings in the room. But the hotel was lovely, the food was amazing. But Nina was just so lovely, it was the hottest day May bank holiday, I needed a sit down and Nina got a ice cold drink and we sat in the reception chatting while I cooled down. Wish all hotels had staff like her, she is a massive asset to the hotel.

We recently held a wake here and cannot recommend this venue enough. Everything went exactly according to plan, which made a tough day much easier for our family. Staff: Both the bar and restaurant teams were excellent and attentive. Atmosphere: The room was great, worked perfectly for our group, and felt very warm. Facilities: All the equipment/displays we requested were provided and ready to go. Food: Absolutely lovely and offered great value for money. If you are looking for a venue that is professional, welcoming, and reliable, this is the place. Highly recommended! Thank you.
