The hotel has some windows boarded up. The rooms were clean but not sparkling.

Right on the sea front so you can get directly to the beach. Ideal for places for food of an evening.

There was a strange smell when we walked into reception and upstairs. No lift meant lugging our suitcases up two flights of stairs. Very noisy road and the beds were old. Linen could do with updating.

Great location and the staff were very helpful. Breakfast was good value.

This hotel is very tired and needs updating, I didn't see a lift so I it might not be the best place for someone with a disability. Our room only had one curtain and blackout blind.

The breakfasts here are very good and the staff are very friendly and helpful. It is in a great location. It is very clean as well. The I didn't like would not stop us from staying here again

Lack of regard for fire regulations. 3 doors on the floor I was on propped open. See photos for doors propped open told by a member of staff it was because the domestic was cleaning, no domestic to be seen! One door propped open all night so if a fire had occurred it would have ripped through the first floor

The location and breakfast was brilliant.

Too many stairs when carrying heavy suitcases. Property and rooms dated, needing refurbishment.

Loved the location of the property, with sea views and close to restaurants.

Pillows were a little flat and could do with changing, usually not had an issue but this time very flat.

Fantastic breakfast as ever, exceptional sausages, also cereals, fruit etc, help yourself to as much as you want.

Only one curtain hung up which meant daylight came through early. Wasn’t a curtain that pulled all the way across! Questionable stain on one of the duvets even though they were meant to be fresh. Nobody on reception so told the night porter when we returned after going out for the evening. He was helpful and gave us a new sheet for me to make the bed up myself. He was going to leave a note on reception but no one ever contacted us about this!

Room was a little old looking but not too bad. I really think that if they spend some serious money on this place it will be a goldmine.

I thought the staff were very good. Including the new guy who was on the desk. Really helpful and friendly. So was the guy doing the breakfast and I must admit the breakfast was lovely

Toilet wasn’t fully clean on arrival, a few droplets of urine on the toilet seat, this was easy to clean, but again it didn’t bother me too much as I wasn’t staying long

It had everything I needed and I was only staying for 1 night, so it did the job

Bedroom was a little dated and I didn't like that one side of the bed was against the wall. If I needed the bathroom during the night I had to climb either over my partner or shuffle to the bottom of the bed.

The lighting in the room could be better. I really appreciated having a table and a chair but it was hard to use the table as a desk because it was so gloomy in that corner of the room.

The Royal is a traditional, civilised hotel, and it seems to attract guests who are the same way because there were no problems with noise at all.The price I paid was very good for a bank holiday weekend, especially as a generous breakfast is included. (I was impressed that they had gluten-free toast.) My room was a decent size for a single room and had proper wooden furniture. The location is great, right on the seafront and only a short walk from everything. The staff were all friendly and helpful. Oh, and the shower worked perfectly, something I no longer take for granted in hotels.

Not a problem with the hotel but my motorbike was at risk parked in the open outside

Handy location while in transit Great breakfast, all staff Bed was good 24 hour reception

The single bed in my room was very lumpy and the room rather too hot. The building seemed to be going through some renovation which made the exterior somewhat unappealing at present.

Lovely staff who treated you in a very friendly manner. The cooked breakfast buffet was fantastic with plenty to keep you going for the day. Conveniently located on the sea-front.
