10/10 Great postion for beach / city centre. Marvellous friendly ,helpful staff, good quality breakfast/evening meals , comfortable bed/pillows, fluffy towels, good selection of drinks in the bar, comfy seating in bar , fab Edwardian hotel with a must see staircase and thick plush carpets. I used multi story car park across the road Friday night to Sunday noon £21. I would certainly go back to the Royal hotel.

By far the worst hotel I have ever stayed at (we didn’t stay either, we checked out after a couple of hours of checking in). The room had not been cleaned, urine stained bathroom, just filthy. Safety wise - mould everywhere and signage missing. Elective cupboards left open. Damage everywhere. Ceiling tiles missing or water damaged. Do not stay. We ended up booking the premier inn down the road which honestly was luxury after being at The Royal. Have requested a full refund with customer services as hotel could only offer a 10% refund. Would have added more photos but won’t allow.

It is a wonderful OLD building. Well decorated. Great Breakfast. My room (403) was small. The flex for the kettle was too short and the floor sloped towards the emancipation door. But i guess it's a very old building. The staff were excellent. I have no complaints.

Not luxury, but ok for the price. The building is very old, but interesting. We struggled to open the window for fresh air.Helpful staff. Mucky windows from outside, but with nice views. Cobweb on the ceiling. Impressive fitness and leisure facilities with additional fee of 6£.
