Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Royal Hotel enjoys an amazing seafront location, practically on the beach, with some rooms offering delightful balconies to enjoy the sea view and sunrises. Guests consistently praise the spacious rooms, with some noting useful amenities like coffee machines. The breakfast is generally considered adequate, and the restaurant offers nice meal options; however, some guests have mentioned that the hotel shows signs of age, with some rooms facing the road experiencing noise. Despite this, the location and room size appear to offer good value.

The hotel was shabby. Rooms and public areas need refurbishment. The bathroom was massive but had a tiny cramped disabled shower. The water temperature fluctuated and there were no hooks or shelving for toiletries. Toilets in the hotel were very poor.

lovely seafront retreat

i found the staff friendly and helpful throughout my stay (they really made a difference!). the location right on the beach was amazing, and my room had a great view of the sea and pier. i enjoyed watching the waves every morning.
i noticed that the floorboards creaked quite a bit throughout the hotel. i could hear movement above me, a little disruptive at times.
