Royal Hotel

Location , specious room. Good English breakfast !

It is tatty , smelly in the room (sewages?),

Very good breakfast. Helpful, friendly staff

No heating in rooms, cold mornings & evenings

Perfect choice for what I needed for one night. Restaurant attached serving decent sized portions. Short distance from rail station. Uninterrupted seafront path. Btw I did not come for the beach!

Nothing

Location. Views. Some of the breakfast, worst poached eggs ever and poor cleanliness of cups(hair in the cup). Looked like pet hair. Dusty saucer. Wanted to eat evening meal in the restaurant. Price point indicates table service, however, due to 'staff shortage' asked to order at the bar. We went elsewhere. Noisy dog heard in our room and doggy smell in reception. Leaving the hotel, we were met by 4 or 5 workers sitting on the stairs and landing below, on their phones. Uncomfortable as appears couldn't waot to get rid of us. Mix of good and bad. Husband wants to revisit, i love the location amd the history of the hotel, so would revisit, knowing what to look out for.

See above. Smelly noisy dogs and some cleanliness issues. Awful poached eggs. Would visit again, knowing what to avoid.
