I was aware that it would be noisy during the day due to its proximity to all the attractions and rides by the pier but take note if you are looking for a quiet stay! The staff were very obliging and friendly. Some of the shared areas such as the lift, rear exit and doors to the first floor need some attention. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was good pressure. ##### Natalie Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jackie 19 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The hotel is beautifully decorated and the staff we met were really helpful and made us so welcome. The lovely gent at the desk sorted out a new room for us very quickly and graciously. The room was wonderful with a lovely comfortable bed. There is a jacuzzi bath in the corner of the room and a great walk in shower in the bathroom. The outside space with a wrap around balcony was great too. We were lucky to be given this room, the smaller rooms are equally as beautifully decorated. Would definitely stay again. Thank you to the team for making our stay so great. ##### Jackie Stayed 1 night in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard 11 Aug 2023 Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Generally the property and surrounding area was very good for local amenities easy access to all shops beaches very good car parking Unfortunately I am a disabled driver and only one disabled car parking area which was very narrow After returning to my car after a two day break I found my car had been damaged the car park is not owned by the hotel ##### Richard Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maryann 30 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Outside was clean and inviting loved the revolving doors the entrance was so pretty stylish clean and smelt lovely the deco is beautiful. Staff were friendly and informative. The room was big good quality clean fresh water in room and tea coffee biscuits. Bed was comfortable we had bath&a shower and toiletries were provided. We had a sea view room with balcony and rattan furniture lovely view it was lovely my only concern was the stairs down to the balcony be careful the stairs were quite steep only 3 or 4.. we slept well..breakfast choices were fantastic we had a full English which was very nice tasty. We are definitely gonna stay again well done Royal hotel 💗 ##### Maryann Stayed 1 night in May 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Judith 4 Sept 2023 Couldn’t park in the car park. ##### Judith Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### STEVEN 1 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities parking almost impossible to find at weekends except early and from late afternoon when crowds are less. also there is no facility for laundry ##### STEVEN Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### peter 11 Aug 2023 Liked: Staff & service, amenities The hotel is situated opposite the funfair which was open 11am - 6pm. We requested a sea view room, therefore opposite the funfair. It was very noisy within those hours. The breakfast was above expectations. The inner stairwell to the first floor desperately needs the carpets cleaning. The double doors to the first floor landing had many cracked panes of glass, first impressions were not good. However once inside the first floor things improved, we could see refurbishments had taken place. The bedroom was comfortable and clean. The shower was very good. ##### peter Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Jennifer 25 Oct 2023 Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Faulty towers book somewhere else No hot water till evening on first day Second day also problems with hot water as did other rooms the staff made us aware it’s an ongoing problem … noise from upstairs apartments horrendous… dirty lift 7 smashed glass panels on doors as you enter hallway to rooms No bed linen or towels for child has to Ask … sofa bed rock hard shouldn’t be in there as bed ! Cobwebs all over the place wouldn’t advice staying unless desperate ##### Jennifer Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Carden Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-Carden-Park.h190780.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h7234788.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton London Stansted Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stansted-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-London-Stansted-Airport.h18464320.Hotel-Information) > > [Stratford Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stratford-Upon-Avon-Hotels-Stratford-Manor.h27936.Hotel-Information) > > [Ashford International Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashford-Hotels-Ashford-International-Hotel.h527123.Hotel-Information) > > [Retallack Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Columb-Major-Hotels-Retallack-Resort.h4537229.Hotel-Information) > > [Bloc Hotel London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Bloc-Hotel-London-Gatwick-Airport.h6594190.Hotel-Information) > > [Sand Bay Holiday Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Weston-Super-Mare-Hotels-Sand-Bay-Holiday-Village.h11443695.Hotel-Information) > > [St Michael's Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Falmouth-Hotels-St-Michaels-Resort.h2951426.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza Stratford Upon Avon by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stratford-Upon-Avon-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Stratford-Upon-Avon.h11307.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h20753.Hotel-Information) > > [Norbreck Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-Norbreck-Castle-Hotel.h6377.Hotel-Information) > > [Eastwell Manor, Champneys Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashford-Hotels-Eastwell-Manor.h905662.Hotel-Information) > > [Camelot Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tintagel-Hotels-Camelot-Castle-Hotel.h8083111.Hotel-Information) > > [Hollins Hall Hotel, Golf & Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Shipley-Hotels-Hollins-Hall-Hotel.h63744.Hotel-Information) > > [Chesford Grange Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kenilworth-Hotels-Chesford-Grange.h920291.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Burstin Hotel Folkestone](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Folkestone-Hotels-Grand-Burstin-Hotel-Folkestone.h1201483.Hotel-Information) > > [The Mill Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-The-Mill-Hotel-Spa.h1695656.Hotel-Information) > > [Village Hotel Manchester Ashton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashton-Under-Lyne-Hotels-Village-Hotel-Manchester-Ashton.h1848975.Hotel-Information) > > [The Winchester Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Hotels-The-Winchester-Hotel-Spa.h26080.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton at St George's Park, Burton Upon Trent](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Burton-On-Trent-Hotels-Hilton-At-St-Georges-Park.h5094740.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel Manchester, Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel-Manchester.h120016.Hotel-Information) > > [The Spa Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Royal-Tunbridge-Wells-Hotels-The-Spa-Hotel.h8849.Hotel-Information) > > [Hythe Imperial Hotel Spa & Golf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hythe-Hotels-Hythe-Imperial-Hotel-Spa-Golf.h9108.Hotel-Information) > > [The Rutland Arms Hotel, Bakewell, Derbyshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bakewell-Hotels-The-Rutland-Arms-Hotel.h792056.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Beach Club & Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salcombe-Hotels-Harbour-Beach-Club-Hotel-Spa.h2261933.Hotel-Information) > > [Fistral Beach Hotel and Spa - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newquay-Hotels-Fistral-Beach-Hotel-And-Spa-Adults-Only.h1895493.Hotel-Information) > > [Worcester Whitehouse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worcester-Hotels-Worcester-Whitehouse.h18498.Hotel-Information) > > [Cotswolds Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chipping-Norton-Hotels-Cotswolds-Hotel-Spa.h13106835.Hotel-Information) ---
