Royal Albion Walton

Very friendly staff nothing was to much trouble, continental breakfast only on offer. Room was very clean and beds comfortable although pillows very thin,beautifully clean shower and toilet Although not very good if you have mobility problems as stairs are very steep no lift alternative. Bus stops almost adjacent to the hotel with good bus service to Frinton and clacton Hotel is right opposite the beach . Although made very welcome I would not be able to stay here again due to mobility issues . But very good hotel for money paid .

The decor leaves a little to be desired but the rooms we stayed in, needed an extra night so moved rooms, were spacious, our first room with a lovely sea view and very quiet. Our room for our last night was opposite so no sea view but even more spacious. The fridge was useful for our drinks and we were supplied with cereal, milk, yoghurts and a croissant for breakfast plus bottled water. I found the mint chocolates a nice touch. We were able to book in when we arrived at midday and changing rooms on the Friday morning was very easy. The beds were very comfortable and the showers in both rooms very good. We left dirty crockery outside the room and picked up the clean on our return. Clean towels and more toilet rolls were supplied without being asked after two nights. We will definitely stay again next year

We stayed here for two nights to celebrate our granddaughter's first birthday. The receptionist/lady behind the bar wasn't welcoming or friendly, not a good start!!! The young man who showed us to our room later was excellent and helped carry our suitcases as my husband has trouble walking. The room and bathroom were a good size. Clean white sheets, towels and room. There was a fan, clock and fridge in the room. The bar had a good selection of beers/lagers on tap. The free breakfast!!!! was; Individual cornflake boxes, Strawberry yogurt Small chocolate crossiant Milk in fridge Yes there was a table and two chairs in the room to eat it but not what we were expecting for a breakfast. Once you had finished with your breakfast, you placed the empty items on a tray outside your room. There was the usual tea, coffee, sugar etc plus a container of digestive biscuits which my husband enjoyed. There are only 4 parking spaces available for 10 letting rooms, you couldn't park there until 13.00, rooms from 15.00, bar food until 16.00, bar closes at 20.00. The hotel is in need of decorating and updating.
