Royal Hotel  

Beautiful room Breakfast served in room at no additional charge

No dressing gowns available in the room (there were last time we stayed). Breakfast was late and cold.

Beer & food

No forwarning that the room was up 3 floor levels. Lighting bad in room. Unable to open windows for sea air. Side of bath was pushed in revealing dirty underside.

There is nothing to dislike about the hotel, however, dragging tables and heavy arm chairs across the restaurant floor, diectly below ones room, presumably to clean, at 0700 as dawn breaks dies not exactly make for relaxarion. The staff are young efficuent and charming and I suspect overly enthusiastic, hence tables at dawn.

The bedroom we were allocated was very spacious and although it was a cold day the room was lovely and warm. There were tea, coffee and hot chocolate making facilities with unusually these days biscuits. The staff were polite and friendly and the breakfast consisted of good quality food which was well cooked. We ate in the bar one night and found there to be a good choice of food on the menu. Would definitely stay there again.

My only criticism is that the bathroom needs a bit of tlc.

The room was very clean and comfortable. The staff were very helpful and courteous. Food - good range and quality.

Parking could be a problem

Great location, great history to the hotel, felt luxurious and delicious food!

Service good ,breakfast very good,staff pleasant and helpful.

A very easy place to stay when you have little ones.

Extremely charming. Wonderful people. Everyone was so nice and very helpful. I had a million questions and they were patient with me and very helpful. The food was excellent. It was right on the beach! I could hear the waves from my room. Lovely.

Just minor inconveniences I would attribute to my American perspective. The bathroom fixtures were lovely and seemed almost new. But I am mystified that someone would install new fixtures that keep the hot and cold water separate. Also, the age of the building made for some interesting floors and stairwells. But one could also call that part of its charm. Like I said, very minor. It was a fabulous place!

Excellent staff, keen to share useful local knowledge to help us through roadworks taking place nearby. Breakfast was good - the waitress offered refills of coffee before we had time to ask for them. It might be useful to mention to guests that there's an excellent Indian restaurant a couple of streets away, as well as a fine-dining restaurant opposite - for when the Royal's kitchen is closed in late evenings. Spacious room with a view of the sea, and a splendid roll-top bath with lots of hot water!

Nothing at all to dislike - we'll come back.

Very friendly , comfortable, good location

The hotel was in the perfect spot and the staff where friendly and helpful. There is a wonderful bar and the resturant and bar serve very good food. The room was amazing and the view breathtaking, We will go back.

Had a problem the first night as their pump failed so no heating or hot water the first morning, surprised that after our three night stay no discount, or apology given for this inconvenience.
