The decor is a little bit tired in places and the plumbing in our room was "interesting" but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The room was quite large and the sea view was great, to be able to watch ships coming and going and to hear the waves at night was what we stayed here for and we were not disappointed. Again i must say the staff were excellent ##### Keith Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul 9 Jan 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very clean and confortable room.

Hotel is however very old and run down inside and really in need of refurbishment . ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2021 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Sharon 3 Oct 2021 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### bed bugs share your bed Was awaken just after 4 in the morning with bed bugs crawling over me and the bed. We were moved to another room but obviously didn’t feel clean enough to be able to sleep. Had no alternative to stay as was visiting a sick relative and hotel was the closest. I have been offered a refund but I’m still waiting after a week! ##### Sharon Stayed 1 night in Sep 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Craig 29 Sept 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Clean and tidy ##### Craig Stayed 1 night in Sep 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Helen 25 Sept 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort Our stay was good the only thing we would say is that the hotel needs modernising, breakfast and service was excellent ##### Helen Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2021 ### 4/10 Poor #### Stacey 19 Sept 2021 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Disappointed guests We arrived at 9pm We’re advised no food available from the restaurant and no bar food. We asked if we could order a take away and eat in the bar - were told a stern “no we do not allow food from outside”…..we would have gladly ordered several bottles of wine from the bar so the hotel list out completely. We had to walk to a pub along from the hotel. We will not be returning. Hotel was very poor condition and service was appalling. I’m also very disappointed to see that hotels.com rate of £148 when the rack rate displayed at the hotel was £95\. Why have I been charged £148 from Hotels.com? I am a loyal client! This is very concerning the difference in room rate. Please explain? ##### Stacey Stayed 1 night in Sep 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### paula 16 Sept 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort The receptionist Hannah was extremely helpful. The building is old and tired but the customer service was excellent. I did feel that the staff in the restaurant could have served the breakfast from the buffet to reduce the amount of guests handling the serving utensils rather than standing in the corner chatting. Breakfast was very good with a very good selection of hot and cold food. Location was excellent just across the road from the South Pier The Number 23 bus to and from Portsmouth is near to the hotel. ##### paula Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Glyn 10 Sept 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities . ##### Glyn Stayed 1 night in Sep 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Nancy 29 Aug 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Considering how outdated this hotel is, I can't fault much of it. Breakfast area and actual breakfast was something out of the 80s but my little single bed was fine. It basically needs modernising ##### Nancy Stayed 1 night in Aug 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Bobbie 21 Aug 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Average stay Hotel needs a re-vamp as it's outdated but it is on the beachfront and it was clean and comfortable. Windows need cleaning as paid for sea view but windows were dirty. Very large room with a plug in fan not air con and unable to open windows but nice comfy big bed. Pillows too high for me and no alternative in the wardrobe. Coffee and tea making facilities and biscuits provided also decent toiletries in the large bathroom. We arrived late afternoon so no parking left and had to pay £12 to park on the street. Bars and restaurants are a 15-20 minute walk away. Staff on front desk very friendly and polite. ![View from window](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/16B89F3D1E4E3F7FBD507EC600703EFE3C0A0E051629543852750.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Bobbie Stayed 1 night in Aug 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 14 Aug 2021 Liked: Staff & service The Hotel is on the seafront had a lovely sea view room ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Kendall 8 Aug 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A very charming and cosy historic hotel Fantastic position for the area and considering it’s age they have maintained it very well indeed. Great hotel with a nice charm about it and a very interesting history. Worth every penny and we love it We have stayed in a lot of hotels and this one definitely deserves some revisits for sure:) ##### Kendall Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2021 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Nicola 30 Jul 2021 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### BED BUGS I had a very unpleasant sleep at Royal Beach and in the morning I found out why - BED BUGS. According to the General Manager they are prevalent in all Hotels but this is the first time I have come across them in the UK. The GM Chris Gilmore promised me a refund but some 3 weeks later I have not received it. Wont be staying at The Royal Beach again ##### Nicola Stayed 1 night in Jul 2021 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Alison 27 Jul 2021 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Wait until the renovations are complete Room looked onto a building site - work started at 8am sharp every morning with a huge amount of noise. One morning movement on the building site started at 6.40am. My windowsill was flaky and filthy. The net curtains were definitely in need of a wash. The loo seat was loose and sliding around when you sat on it (quickly changed well done) One day a sheet of paper was left by housekeeping saying please stay in your room tonight from 10.45pm to 5am for cleaning of the carpets! The one lift was very slow because the builders on floors 2 and 1 kept using it. What a mess you could see when the lift doors opened on floor 1 in error. ##### Alison Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### stephen 22 Jul 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Return visit We will be back, very enjoyable. ##### stephen Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 11 Jul 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Enormous room overlooking the beach and pier. With a bit of redecoration the room would be excellent. Even so, the room is fine as it is with a king size bed, settee and table with two chairs. Recommended. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2021 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Grosvenor Pulford Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-Grosvenor-Pulford-Hotel-Spa.h790572.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carnforth-Hotels-Pine-Lake-Resort.h1928661.Hotel-Information) > > [5\* Detached Stone Cottage with a Private Indoor Pool (Not Shared)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashbourne-Hotels-5-Detached-Stone-Cottage-With-A-Private-Indoor-Pool.h31752210.Hotel-Information) > > [The Windermere Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-The-Windermere-Hotel.h13431161.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Hotel Christchurch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-The-Christchurch-Harbour-Hotel-And-Spa.h18097.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Cotswold Water Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cirencester-Hotels-De-Vere-Cotswold-Water-Park.h1770053.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-Belfry.h1103020.Hotel-Information) > > [Oulton Hall Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leeds-Hotels-Oulton-Hall-Hotel.h15948.Hotel-Information) > > [The Park Royal Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Warrington-Hotels-The-Park-Royal.h24462.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Windsor Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Egham-Hotels-Fairmont-Windsor-Park.h60335617.Hotel-Information) > > [Last Drop Village Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bolton-Hotels-Last-Drop-Village-Hotel-And-Spa.h9341.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Cheltenham-Cotswolds](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Doubletree-By-Hilton-Cheltenham.h65899.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis budget Manchester Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Ibis-Budget-Manchester-Airport.h75715089.Hotel-Information) > > [Ufford Park Woodbridge Hotel, Golf & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Woodbridge-Hotels-Ufford-Park-Woodbridge-Hotel.h12685.Hotel-Information) > > [Dunston Hall Hotel, Spa and Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-Dunston-Hall.h519081.Hotel-Information) > > [Redworth Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newton-Aycliffe-Hotels-Redworth-Hall-Hotel.h517266.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Whitby](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel.h57917040.Hotel-Information) > > [Macdonald Old England Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-Macdonald-Old-England-Hotel-Spa.h10610.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Manchester Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Manchester-Airport.h26104.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel Manchester City Centre, A Verified Net Zero Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Manchester-City-Centre.h2601411.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Tortworth Court](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-De-Vere-Tortworth-Court.h570412.Hotel-Information) > > [ORIDA Maidstone Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maidstone-Hotels-ORIDA-Maidstone-Hotel.h74419166.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakes Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-Lakes-Hotel-And-Spa.h901040.Hotel-Information) > > [Aphrodites Group](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-Aphrodites-Group.h901033.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hook-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Hampshire.h986107.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Silverstone](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Towcester-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Silverstone.h48251404.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Bristol Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Bristol-Airport.h16543862.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Wokefield Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reading-Hotels-De-Vere-Wokefield-Estate.h1044123.Hotel-Information) ---
