Beautiful old hotel but in need for renovation.
Positives: 1) Location is nice in Ventnor. 2) Small nice swimming pool outdoor. 3) Staff at the breakfast. 4) Free parking and free EV charging point.
Negative: 1) Need renovation
We had a fabulous 3 night mid-week stay. Our room was spacious and comfortable. The staff were attentive and really friendly and the food in the restaurant was exquisite. We had intended to find other places to eat during our stay but the food was so good here there was absolutely no point. I would highly recommend this hotel.
Our stay at the Royal Hotel was very enjoyable. The staff, food and accommodation was first class. This is a beautiful vintage hotel which maintains a high standard in all areas. The beach and carpark are both a short walk from the premises.

Thank you for early check in....loved comfy bed.....
Parking our vehicle was quite difficult with a limited number of spaces which were difficult to navigate. We did enjoy sitting outside in the garden enjoying refreshments. We did like Ventnor and the Isle of Wight.
I received The Royal Treatment at The Royal thanks to the outstanding service provided by the manager, Seda, and the wonderful wait staff in the hotel's restaurant! Excellent location too! Yes, I highly recommend The Royal!
