The building’s original features have been retained. Bathrooms feature heated towel rails, shaver points, fluffy white towels and complimentary Duck Island toiletries. Start each day with a healthy, fresh breakfast in the airy breakfast room. Choose from real ground coffee, freshly squeezed orange juice, a selection of organic yogurts, cereals, homemade breads and jams. No English breakfasts are served. Soy milk is available.

    The location was excellent. It was close to the pier and restaurants. I loved having the window open at night and hearing the waves. The room was on the small side as to be expected in this type of hotel but you really can't ask for a better place...

    - personal touch - the owner puts his heart and soul into his hotel and it really shows - The owner of this hotel takes the comfort and well-being of his guests really seriously. A rarity nowadays! - directly at the beach - view of the beach...

    Eddie was a most gracious host and very helpful with ideas for getting around town. My room, #6, was right across from the seafront with excellent views. Breakfast was very good, fresh oj and very good coffee.

At The Royal we offer personalised service and attention to all our guests. You will never feel that you are just a booking number. We know the local area and can recommend areas for sightseeing, walking, restaurants, pubs, museums and galleries. We are a small adults-only, eco-friendly hotel.
The Royal is personally run and offers a warm welcome to your four-legged friends. We positively love having dogs to stay and can recommend local dog friendly pubs and eateries. Breakfasts are all suitable for vegetarians and vegan fare is always available. We do not serve meat or fish.
The Royal is siutated directly on the seafront almost opposite the pier, in the centre of Eastbourne. It is an easy level walk to a multitude of local attractions, restaurants, and much more. The beach is only a few yards away, just across the road. Most rooms offer spectacular sea views.
