クリスマスキャロルやオリバーツイストの著者(ディケンズ)も良く利用した宿で古い歴史を感じさせると同時にモダンに綺麗にせいびされた部屋は快適。

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。

Lovely stay at the Royal Abion. Great hotel overlloking Viking Bay, a sea view room well worth booking. Excellent breakfast included.

Extremely accommodating breakfast was incredible also the staff.

Lovely beach facing hotel , great views and staff , location excellent , but remember no parking and town parking is expensive about 5 mins walk. Breakfast very good.

Breakfast was excellent. Freshly prepared. Continental breakfast was extensive. We had a town view which was fine. Surprisingly no road noice so we slept well. Room was clean and bathroom was sparkling. Bed was very comfortable. Only observation would be that the shower was over the tub, and that's fine except that the tub was very tricky to get into especially for older people so having a way to get in and out easier would be nice. Tons of space in the bathroom though especially at the sink so it we had a place to put toiletries which was nice. Overall a nice stay and will come back. Will save up so we can try an ocean front room next time.

We found all the staff extremely friendly and helpful. A credit to the hotel. Great location for the beach.

Beautiful sea views

great view room, happy with the staying there.

We stayed in a lovely room with a shared balcony and large windows with a sea view.

Staff could not be more helpful and were always happy & willing to talk to guests. Food in restaurant was exactly what I have come to expect from Shepherd Neame Hotels and Pubs. I had room on 1st floor with access to roof terrace which had an excellent view of Viking Bay and the Sea. I found room very quiet at night with only the sound of the sea to be heard in the background.

The view was great and the room was good but the slope of the floor meant that the bed wasn't level! There are no USB sockets for charging. Had full English breakfast one day which was disappointing. Low quality bacon which was stone cold. Had something else the next day and it was lovely.

Lovely beach view, room was beautiful and breakfast was lovely! Would stay again.

Access to my room was up 3 floors of narrow stairs. I was offered a room on a lower level prior to accepting the higher level option, so I guess its a bit 50/50 !

Great room, helpful staff.

Room was lovely wonderfully clean and great facilities 👍 lovely staff what more could you want!

Amazing staff, location and breakfast.

Room was clean, staff friendly that side of things was all good. But room 14 was the smallest room we have ever stayed in it was a struggle to shower or use the loo. Does anyone in house try the facilities out. I am not a large person

Room very clean and cosy overlooking sea front.Staff very friendly and helpful. A slight drawback was a lack of a lift but staff offered to carry bags upstairs.

Amazing room, sea view and breakfast!
