It was clean, staff was friendly, pretty much sums up the basics. The room was great, the additional reading room was a nice touch even though we didn't use it. We had a beach view which really made the stay that much better.

With a fine position on the seafront in St. Leonards-on-Sea, this hotel offers traditional hospitality and a friendly atmosphere.

Built in 1828, the Royal Victoria Hotel has seen many guests, including the Queen.

A fine marble staircase leads up from the lobby to the Piano Bar and Sea Terrace Restaurant.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 8.8 for a two-person trip.

Just the fact it was a bit tired, needs a bit of modernisation. Could be amazing!
The position right on the sea front was fab. We had a family room where the kids were off in a room which lead off of the main room. Very spacious, clean but sadly tired and in need of some money spent on it. It was cosy and the staff were fab so can’t complain for what we paid. Just needs a bit of TLC.

The only thing we didn’t like was the weather
We like the joy of sitting in our room and looking out to sea, being able to leave the curtains open and no one was looking in apart from the birds. We just felt relaxed.

Nothing really. Single glazed room meant it was a little drafty during the storm which came straight off the sea but the heating worked well so we weren't cold. The sound of the waves was very soothing.
The staff are exceptionally welcoming. Food was excellent, a lot of choice and very reasonably priced. Cream tea prices started at £5.95. Drink prices were not excessive. The hotel is on the sea front. It felt like a small family run hotel because of the layout of the bar, restaurant and piano room.

the cold wind blew through the windows rattling the pains and sending drafts through the rooms, the bath had been fixed with a big blob of mastik, there was coffee stains on walls by kettle area and spills on bathroom door
we were upgraded to a suite as we had booked with booking.com before , the room was made up of 2 seperate areas and a bathroom all rooms were very spacious the view was amazing, at breakfast we were greeted and seated by the staff who then asked us if we would like tea or coffee and then explained how the buffet system worked s

“Good old-style grand hotel”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 2 nights
Bit of traffic noise (and of course wave noise) even on the 5th floor. Next time might sacrifice room view for quieter one at the back. There's just one lift and it's very slow.
Breakfast good with outstanding view of sea. Lovely faded, grand, old-style, English seaside hotel. Everything a bit worn, but the features are lovely. The room was super large, also with exquisite view overlooking the sea. Beds outstandingly comfortable. Staff attentive and kind, nothing formal. We found good places to eat nearby.

The room we had was ok but our daughter and her son had a room which had a few problems. There were cobwebs, a window which opened onto a wide ledge which a child could easily open and climb out onto, if they had a mind to do that. There were pigeons cooing loudly from early morning on this ledge, and lots of pigeon poo on the ledge also. The windows were unclean on the inside and out. The facilities were also not up to scratch - no place to put clothes (a wardrobe with a bed right up to it, and cupboards which were too high to use). The shelf in the bathroom was crooked and couldn’t hold anything on it. As we were checking out we saw and heard another couple showing photos of their room to the receptionist and complaining also. However, the price was reasonable and I would agree that the points I’ve made (except the dangerousness of the window opening) are minor, really. The breakfast was adequate and we didn’t eat there for dinner so cannot comment on that.
Location good and plenty of free parking around. Our room was spacious and good. It had a lift, which is always a bonus and the price was reasonable.

At 7am - first thing in the morning - I am happy to be asked how my breakfast is - but 5 times by 2 members of staff seemed a little OTT
Another perfect stay - from booking to check-in to breakfast to night time to check out - everything runs like clock work at the RVH - fabulous value for money and the staff are attentive and extremely friendly and customer focussed.

Dust everywhere, loud guests next door smoking and could smell it from our bed. Loud banging in the night, didn’t know the number to call night porter to do something about it.
The location was on the sea front near everything which was great. The staff were very helpful.
