ロイヤル アルビオン ホテル

This hotel was just as excellent this time around as it was last time we stayed here. It was sold out while we were here as the Charles Dickens festival was going on. One thing to be advised with this hotel is that there are no lifts as it it is an older hotel and is grade II listed so there is no requirement for it to do so. That being said it does have three floors of rooms with about half facing directly to the ocean which means you could have a little or a lot of stairs to contend with. So if you have a disabilty that does not allow for stairs be conscious of that when booking. My partner had a heart condition and it did not occur to me to ask for a room on a lower floor at the time of booking (that was on me) so the first night we ended up on the top floor. A room which I have to say was absolutely lovely if it weren't for all the stairs you had to climb! The view of the town was beautiful from up there though. They were extremely kind and were able to partially accomodate us on the second night and move us to a second floor room which I am grateful for as the climb was not as strenuous. Nice pub and restaruant and sensational outside seating to watch the beach and sea. Breakfast is delicous and piping hot and well presented with a nice continental for those not wanting a hot breakfast. And being centrally located in Broadstairs it made it really easy to visit the town. About a 20mins walk downhill from the station or you can take a bus called the 'Loop' part way down

Both my wife and I found the hotel faultless, we only wish we’d booked a few more days to enjoy being in the hotel. It has to be taken on board that the hotel is about 200 years old, so consequently the structure of the building doesn’t support having a lift. Charles Dickens stayed there, his house is next door Dickens‘s house, but with nine children a wife and a maid in such a small house he found it better sometimes staying in the Royal Albion. You go to sleep listening to the waves breaking on the beach, you wake up to a stunning Seaview, strongly recommend.

駅から徒歩圏内（約１０分弱）にあるリゾート感溢れるホテルでした。ホテルのフロントの方も非常に親切で、部屋まで案内をして頂きました。ホテルそのものは、年代を感じましたが、その雰囲気が非常にレトロでどこか懐かしい気持ちになりました。ホテルの玄関は、通りに面しておりますが、エントランスからはレストランを通して海を望むことが出来ます。周辺にあるホテルもリゾート感に溢れており、正直仕事で来るところでは無いな～！と思いました。夜、外に出掛けると、何人もの人たちが海辺の散策をしており、夏にはもっと賑わっていたんだろうな？と考えてしまいました。 朝ご飯は、卵料理を注文するスタイルで、非常にボリュームがありました。又、とてもおいしく頂きました。レストランのスタッフも気さくな感じで、明るく話しかけてくれて、とても気持ちが良かったです。非常に行き届いたサービスが出来ていると感じました。 但し、木造で年代が建っているので、歩くたびに床がきしむ音がしますので、気になる方には気持ちよく泊まることは出来ないかも知れません。 夏の暑い日に、浜辺でゆっくり出来る時に、もう一度訪れたいと思いました。
