Needs a bit of updating

Quirky, but just a very unique and special place

Stayed in June 2024

Limited parking. Had to find a 24 hour car park. Staff were not sure where they were so had to drive around for a while to find one

Great location close to everything

The menu was a bit limited, we only liked one item so did not eat at the hotel on the second night. Quite expensive, made more so by the fact that parking is £1.80 per hour 08:00 - 16:00

Excellent location with a well appointed bedroom and large bathroom. We had a sea view which was beautiful

Rooms were clean and tidy but the bathroom in the room we were in needs to be updated ,also not liking car parking which although is next to the hotel does not belong to it thus you have to pay £10.80 per day which you do not expect from a £200 a night hotel and the car parking which belongs to to the council is patrolled vigorously, one of our party was fined £50 for not swapping his ticket over the next day by been 6 minutes out .

Excellent position right on the sea front ,staff very friendly and helpful

Location and bar food

Although a mat was provided in the shower, there was nothing to hold onto which I felt was very necessary for an elderly person even though fairly fit

Great location and comfortable room overlooking the sea. Quiet, lovely to hear waves. Excellent omelettes for breakfast and enjoyed evening meal too. Friendly staff.

The wifi was very bad, and id not remain on all the time, and you had to keep logging on!!! This irritated our whole party, as wifi is a major part of everyones lives now so ALL Hotels should be offering top of th range wifi and good signal throughout the hotel. Many people although on holiday, still need to be able to work, access emails, etc and therefore require good and reliable wifi and internet speeds.

We had a Family Room which was very comfortable and spacious and had a sea view. The Bathroom was adequate, however the Shower in the Bath needed to be upgraded as the water kept moving from cold to hot to cold throughout the shower. The location was excellent. The breakfast was very good!!

Quaint sea side town with nothing much there other than original historic buildings. It has lots of historical place's to visit including 3 castles nearby and museums dotted around..Good old pubs, great sea food and a nice atmosphere.

Cobwebs and dust on the skirting boards. Other than that, totally brilliant.

The staff were lovely, breakfast was fabulous and you can’t beat the location.

Well, nearly all of it is wonderful and comfortable…. But the ‘add-on’ bathroom in Brontë was hard to get warm and the driftwood look didn’t match the lovely comfortable room. I’m afraid I found the pillows hard and uncomfortable too.

The original features were lovingly incorporated into the up to date colours and decor. Also, the property is in a prime location and masses of history

Location, easy for views, walks and shopping.

Breakfast was good

Stayed in December 2023

Post-pandemic, it definitely needs a bit of tlc. A bit threadbare in parts. But maybe this just adds to the authenticity!

A return visit to the Royal. Love staying there because it’s a magical old place, virtually on the beach, with lots of history. Warm, pleasantly decorated room with Channel view, nice en suite, comfortable bed, and expresso machine. This place has got so much character and authenticity.

Creaking floor above our room. People walking around all night! Bathroom a little tired. Shower went hot and cold without warning.

Great views. Nice breakfast.
