The Royal Hotel

Convient location. Welcoming, friendly reception. The room was clean with all that was required for my overnight stay. ie tv and internet. Excellent breakfast, set me up for rest of the day.

Staff very pleasant and welcoming, excellent breakfast very good choice of food. Decor tired and dated, bed not very comfortable but hotel undergoing refurbishment so room could be updated in near future. Would definitely return if needing to stay in the area again.

Congratulations on your breakfast. There was everything you could want. Freshly cooked by the most friendly chef. Looking forward to a return visit and I shall bring the grandchildren. I know they will love the location and do neat the beach.

Great breakfast, all the staff were efficient and friendly. Very helpful front reception desk personnel: called a taxi for us, helped with laundry service. Our rooms were clean. Renovations did not keep us from enjoying our stay. Seaside location was great for walks.

Although the hotel was undergoing out of season refurbishment our stay was comfortable and the staff were friendly and keen to be of assistance. Great value one night stay right on the sea front and within easy walking distance of the town centre.

Firstly the hotel is undergoing major refurbishment so this needs to be taken into account. The front of the hotel was literally a building site but this was advised in advance. There are no lounge or dining areas available but this is part of the redevelopment. I only paid £45 for one night in a single room which was very basic but clean. Staff were helpful and friendly, breakfast was very good in terms of choice and quality. The location can’t be faulted, particularly if you can grab a parking space outside, otherwise there is cheap parking within 3 minutes walk. The hotel is a typical old hotel with steep narrow stairs and looks tired. The redevelopments look ambitious and I would have no hesitation in trying the Royal again if I was in the area.

Great location, friendly welcome & staff in general & good breakfast. Room was okay - small & bed noisy, "crunchy" mattress. To be fair, the hotel is undergoing an upgrade at the moment so lots of potential to improve. Great value though at £39.50 for B&B so can't complain. Thank you!

Squeaky clean room, delicious breakfast, truly friendly and helpful staff! This was my second visit, and I’ve already booked my stay for September 2025! Fabulous that it is so close to the Metro and seafront, and I enjoyed the wonderful Fish & Chips Shop on the corner!

The hotel is undergoing refurbishment, and the whole of the ground floor frontage is boarded up, and there is no bar, lounge or restaurant available. Bedroom dated and shabby, and didn’t feel particularly clean. Fairly basic breakfast served in an unattractive little room at the back of the hotel.
