Had a great stay at the Royal hotel, we were given a recently refurbished room, even though we had a dog with us. The room was lovely and modern with everything you might need. The hotel is currently in the process of being updated so the bar area was unavailable although a small bar has been moved into the small room at the front of the hotel. There is seating outside the front of the hotel with complimentary blankets to keep you warm. Obviously the new bar will be a great addition soon. Check in was easy, although there was a £20 per night charge for the dog!! Breakfast was lovely, during the week this was table service and at the weekends it was a buffet style. There was plenty of continental and hot food available, all cooked to our liking. The location is perfect for us, with views over the sea and the abbey. Overall we had a great stay and would return and recommend to others.

Staff on reception were really friendly and patient - especially as she was interrupted by a rude customer twice while she was serving us. Very impressive. The room was lovely and clean. We will definitely come back, thank you!

The hotel room was so bad to say it had been recently been upgraded. We woke up with rain pounding through the windows and the carpet was totally soaking. Reported to reception with no response and hence the fire alarm constantly going off during the night. Wouldn’t stay again!!!!!

Property and rooms quite dated, wallpaper peeling off walls in corridors, room was classed as a superior twin with sea view. The sash windows are very old and were filthy, had to wipe the window to try and see the views. On the plus the food was good, breakfast was overpriced. Staff were friendly, it’s in a great location, but hotel needs updating and rooms should be priced accordingly.

An old fashioned seaside hotel with huge charm. It’s in the middle of a renovation so some areas look a bit tired or are obviously being worked on. Room was clean and comfy and warm. Buffet breakfast was plentiful. And finally a toaster that properly toasts the bread!

Newly refurbished rooms are very good. The older rooms are wretchedly poor. Asking for an upgraded room is the best advice I can give. The location on Westcliffe is perfect and so convenient.

Didn’t realise had to reserve parking at hotel. There appeared to be several empty spaces but told they had been taken up. Stayed in newly renovated room which was lovely. Staff very pleasant and helpful. Downside was lift which was out of action to 3rd floor which we were on, also very small and old style lift. Hotel communal areas lovely and very nice breakfast. Position of hotel lovely overlooking Abby.

Disappointing
Check-in OK but not advised beforehand about parking - £8 per day in street and £6 per day at hotel (limited). Arrival information said to book a breakfast slot. We tried 0830 but not available due to 3 large coach groups so tried 0800 but then were told that it was not necessary to book at that time. At 0800 we asked for a window seat but they were all reserved - but not all used. Asked for a reservation for a window seat the next morning and was told they would try but there was no reserved seating for us even though there was a window table available. At first we were told that we couldn't sit there as they were all reserved for coach drivers but we did. Clearly, priority is given to coach parties - we felt like second rate citizens even though we booked the most expensive room. Room 105 had no handle on outside of door (other rooms did) so very difficult to close. There was one small radiator in room - controlled by hotel. It was warm on the first night but cold on the second night. Had to use bedding to keep warm after a shower (no dressing gowns). Bathroom was tastefully refurbished but in need of maintenance/repair. The towel radiator auto-shut off after 2 hours. Presumably hotel is a listed building which is why windows were old, wooden single-glazed sash windows from floor to ceiling. However there can never be an excuse for black mould on windows and glass that is difficult to see through because so dirty. Maid service was poor - dirty mugs and poor replenishment.
