    Slightly tired room, could do with some tlc but easily sorted. For the price charged could be a bit better, headboards need attention, wardrobe door stuck etc.

    Lovely character property, lovely breakfast and staff friendly. Very dog friendly with a box in room full of treats, bowls etc. River view room had amazing window to sit with a tea and watch the world go by.

    Lack of lift. Jacuzzi in bath did not function. Bedside light did not work and so we swapped it for another one. Why was there only one bedside light? There was no light for the other bed. Sound proofing the floors between bedrooms would be desirable as footsteps above could be heard distinctly. Breakfast a little mean on portions 1 bacon slice, one sausage, one poached egg, baked beans were lukewarm. Limited dinner menu choices and so we went elsewhere. More written information ie map of nearest long stay car parks.

    Nice room, and en-suite, spacious, comfortable beds, clean. Good toiletries. Plenty of space to put wash bag, makeup etc in bathroom. Good quality bath sheet size towels. Window seal blown so double glazed panels need replacing. Air conditioning in room available. Did not mind being in the back of the building as there is less noise. Both receptionists were very good that we dealt with - helpful, smiles on their faces, wanted to know how our stay was etc.

    The wallpaper on the ceiling of the bedroom needs attention, double glazing is blown. Made the room feel tired.

    Full of character, perfect location for exploring Dartmouth. Staff friendly and attentive. Food was very good. Very clean. Beds were really comfortable, lovely big towels, great shower.

    The property had real character , we had a room called the look out , which was spacious, immaculately clean with amazing views over the river, they also provided a pair of binoculars. Also had a great breakfast, well worth it and will be back.

    There was nothing we didn't like!

    The service was excellent - and personal. We loved the location overlooking the quay. Parking was easy. And we particularly liked the old style decor which was characteristic of Dartmouth -

    Nothing .... Perfect stay 👍

    The Royal Castle Hotel, was a lovely stay, old and quirky with a perfect location. We stayed in The lockout room in the attic, which had an amazing view of Dartmouth and we would definitely stay in this room again, but the staircase is not suitable to all.

    Parking in the park and ride is a bit confusing as the company that runs the car park say can only stay for eleven hours but hotel that said you can stay for 24 . Hotel were right

    Friendly welcome, allowed us to put or luggage in the hotel 3 hours before check in. Friendly atmosphere,nice breakfast. Rooms in character with the hotel in a nice way. Perfect location. Thank you one and all.
