The room was clean and well serviced. Lovely view. Breakfast was lovely.. the breakfast area looks lovely. The whole place smelt clean and fresh. It all looked freshly decorated in the communal areas. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Provided extra pillows and tea/coffee when requested. The safe in the room is a good idea (even though we didn't use it, as we didn't feel the need to lock away any valuables). Reception area very clean and welcoming. I have seen in reviews about staff being scarce, but there is a bell to press for attention, which worked very well for us - staff appeared very promptly.

Location per se was excellent, very central. The only drawback was the loud music from the Greek restaurant below, every evening, full blast outside, directly below our room (109) so when we wanted the balcony doors open for fresh air it was very, very loud indeed. Some of the furniture in the room looked rather tired - the dressing table was actually quite battered. Although the breakfast was very nice, well cooked, well presented, it would be nice to be offered fruit juice along with the tea/coffee, and toast and preserves too. It would cost very little but would be so, so much better. The water had to be left to run for at least 5 mins before it gets hot (there are notices explaining to do this)

The.staff were amazing and couldn't do enough to help us. The room was a good size and the balcony was lovely. We sat outside watching the world go by several times which was great.

Shower wasn't quite hot enough for me, they tried to adjust it but it would be good to have temp adjustment via the controls. Breakfast was great, however, it would have been nice to have cereal as well as a cooked breakfast, however, you had to choose between them.

Beautiful hotel overlooking the sea, pier and beach. Staff at reception and in the attached Greek Restaurant were fantastic. Very friendly and informative.

It's a minor point but the name of the more expensive rooms, Princess Quarters conjures up an image of a large spacious room. The room is of an average hotel size, the bed is a standard double. This didn't spoil our stay one bit and we would stay there again. I would suggest a change of name for the Balcony rooms to avoid disappointment.

Great location for beach and arcades. Clean hotel. All the staff were very friendly from reception to bar staff and waiting staff. The food was very nice and great breakfast. There was entertainment with a ska band, very good. The restaurant attached is very nice and lovely decoration. Shame we are not closer to visit more often. Wi-Fi included

Booking.com double booked our room. We booked last September as part of our 40th anniversary celebrations. We booked the room with sauna shower but had been booked on a long term booking and no similar room was available. Our room overlooked a sports bar which had music and noise until late into the night, although good music was loud, would suggest you take earplugs. There is a car park at the back of the hotel but limited spaces. There is street parking but maximum 2 hours with no return.

Room was good, clean and well presented. Breakfast was good with decent selection and service. Staff very helpful on arrival and hotel well presented

Bathroom was very small, the sink was in the way of sitting on the toilet. Hotel WiFi cut out constantly and the TV didn’t have any BBC channels and what channels they did have would often freeze or not work. I had not checked with staff so maybe something could have needed to be reset but used my tablet and phone instead.

Great Beachfront location. Sea view from room. Balcony with room. Bathroom very clean. Staff friendly. Greek restaurant in hotel was well designed and had a lively atmosphere. Hotel recently decorated so public areas were well maintained. Would stay again.

Due to location being on the beach front there was some noise during the day from the fair rides opposite the hotel 0 but it all closed in the evening so no noise at night, Hotel does not have it's own car park and the public car park behind the hotel can get busy due location near the beachfront. Would be useful to have some pre-bookable parking bays reserved for hotel guests in that car park. Lift in hotel is dated and needs modernising.

The hotel was clean, it looked as though it had recently been repainted. The breakfast was excellent, well cooked, but the choices were rather limited.The staff were friendly and helpful.

Our room was quite small overlooking a rather overgrown building plot.(the more expensive rooms had a sea view)but the room was clean with tea and coffee provided. Unfortunately, there was no visitors lounge to relax in, this wouldn’t have been a problem if our room had been bigger.

I and my girlfriend enjoyed a cosy weekend away in our room. It was clean and well presented on arrival and was cleaned in the same manner when requested. The only minor complaint would be the lift. It was an amazing stay, and the breakfast was immaculate!

My only complaint was that the wall was fairly thin, and the lift seemed old and rickety. It worried my girlfriend who has leg issues and couldn't always walk the stairs.

The room, staff, location and food were all great. Was given the option to upgrade to the empress suite (room 106) which had the jacuzzi and a few other extras and was well worth it. Was there for Valentine’s Day and they really went all out for that which we weren’t expecting but was very cute. Breakfast was lovely and ate dinner in the Greek restaurant and that was also very good.

The only thing that let the stay down was that we had an extremely noisy group of lads in the room next door who came in at 2:30am and decided to carry on the party in their room until check out the next morning! Although the staff can’t really control that the walls were very thin.

It was in a convenient location for my mother, because of her mobility difficulties. The staff were exceptional when we arrived and as soon as they saw that my mother had some difficulties, they offered us an alternative to our booked room. They were friendly and helpful - nothing was too much of a problem. The room was clean and well maintained and the breakfast was served quickly and good. Overall, value for money. We stay in the town often but this is the first time we have stayed at the Royal Hotel. We definitely plan to return there.

Due to the location, it can be noisy, particularly at night. However, if you want to be in the centre of all the town’s major attractions, it is to be expected.
