Backs onto the very pretty harbour area, really good value breakfast and the pub is friendly, great beers but not noisy at all. Our room got a little warm and the mgt instantly upgraded us to a two-room suite opposite and the general service and friendliness of the team who manage the Royal Britannia would be a major reason for going back as well as the beautiful spots immediately around the hotel. Great job and thank you Royal Britannia team. ##### Matthew Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Jeffrey 5 Nov 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Room beyond basic, most uncomfortable bed ever ##### Jeffrey Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kimberley 15 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It is an old property in a nice location (as we expected) staff very friendly and rooms cleaned everyday. ##### Kimberley Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### caroline 24 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities For a very old property with its interesting history it’s a very comfortable place to stay The staff are very friendly and nothing is to much trouble ##### caroline Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Marlene 10 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Hotel ok apart from curtain coming away from fittingfeom yrack ##### Marlene Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kenneth 29 Jul 2023 Liked: Staff & service Great location but a bit tired, however, I suspect it is a listed building so their hands may be tied. ##### Kenneth Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Christopher 29 Jul 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Pleasant Two Days in Devon Stayed to 2 nights room recently refurbished so clean and comfortable. No A/C so stuffy at night. Good double glazing kept the Seagull noises out of the room! Will go back at some stage as it is in a good location and good breakfast. ##### Christopher ### 6/10 Okay #### Angela 11 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Pleasantly surprised Hotel was dated but clean and tidy, check-in was confusing you go to the property to be sent to an office next door to check in then back in the pub to access rooms. Staff very friendly despite being very busy. Room was spacious but clean and tidy. Bathrooms look nice at first glance but clearly some plumbing issues as shower tray flooded, back of toilet cistern leaked so needs some maintenance but bathroom was still clean. Given some of the reviews we were very pleasantly surprised with our stay and would stay again. ##### Angela Stayed 1 night in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### evelyn 2 Jan 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Superb Absolutely gorgeous stay ##### evelyn Stayed 1 night in Jan 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Susannah 10 Aug 2021 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### Royal Britannia review Room very basic, not the cleanest. Bathroom smelt weird! I think drain smell. Could also smell cigarette smoke inside the hotel. Breakfast staff helpful and friendly. I would not recommend this place. Over priced for what it was. ##### Susannah Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 28 Jul 2021 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great location. Couldn't ask for better but the hotel was run down, shabby (but not chic!). CoVID aside they still could have cleaned room before we got there. It Was quite filthy. Couldnt see in the mirror for dust. Beds were planks of wood screwed together, quite crude. And the room had musky smell. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 24 Jul 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Friendly but noisy Very nice staff but room is right above terrasse with drinking customers and very noisy ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2021 ## 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) ---
