The redesign of the building is lovely, and we were really looking forward to our stay but it did not quite go to plan. Our room was next to the air vent for the kitchen which was extremely noisy, as were the kitchen deliveries during the night. The restaurant served my pregnant wife a meal with an alcoholic relish despite us checking it with them beforehand several times. The manager denied this the next day until we showed him a photograph! We are trying to support local pubs and hotels but we would not stay here again.

Room had no outside window so no fresh air. Check in / check out were a bit random and check in area was in an odd place.

Stunning old hotel recently been refurbished. The best feature of this hotel are the staff, bar staff helpful. Breakfast staff are helpful caring and attentive. Big shout to the domestic staff so friendly, helpful definitely got to know rm21 loved oat cookies and shortbread.

An excellent location to stay and discover Dartmouth and surrounding area. The Staff were 1st class, the room was clean and comfortable, breakfast faultless. All in all 9/10, St.Austell Brewery know how to provide vfm.

We stayed four nights in February and paid a bit extra for one of the rooms at the front - and did not regret it. The only snag was the room was on the third floor and there is no lift; however, the ever-helpful staff were there to assist with the luggage. The 400 year-old character staircase and extensive gallery made the exertion worthwhile! The room was beautifully equipped and decorated with a huge bed and comfortable chairs and settee and a window where you could enjoy the ever-changing view. It was wet and cold outside but the room was always cosy and the only problem we had was the mystifying modern heating control on the en-suite radiator! We ate in the first floor restaurant which enjoyed views across the Dart and had a wide choice for breakfast and evening meals. Here the staff were welcoming, attentive and engaging, as were the house-keepers and reception. In fact it was the staff which made our stay such a pleasure.

Wonderful character hotel on waterfront with amazing history. Rooms well furnished and extremely comfortable beds. Staff were very friendly and helpful and the kitchen provided an excellent vegan breakfast as well. Only drawback is lack of dedicated parking which was fine in the off-season (winter) but would definitely become a challenge when the town is busy in summer.

Gorgeous river view room that was spotlessly clean. Staff very friendly & location was fantastic.

The hotel was very nice,decorated well. The staff,especially Lena,were very helpful. The downside was our room,we knew it would be small but it faced into the inside of the building and had no openable window.It was very warm in there and felt claustrophobic.Not even a glimpse of the outside world.

Breakfast excellent so it was confusing that the lunch menu and food was poor. Hotel looks lovely and staff were great. Small attic room up several flights of stairs and no lift to assist with heavy luggage resulted in sore backs!

Lovely quirky old hotel, great staff, clean and well equipped/presented room - only negative was generator/pump starting up about 07:00 each morning.

Charming old hotel in centre of Dartmouth

Lovely old place with original features. Good food and staff, good location

This was a great Central place to stay the staff were all lovely and the food was great

I enjoyed my stay at the Royal Castle Hotel. The Hotel is warm, cosy and interesting with pleasant, responsive and helpful staff, a good bar and dining facilities and an excellent breakfast. Its setting is attractive and convenient for exploring the town and the area.

The staff were exceptional, very comfortable room, wonderfull breakfast and my dog was treated first class too!

It's a great hotel lots of atmosphere

Really enjoyed staying here but the old girl could definitely do with some TLC

This is a very tired hotel in urgent need of a major refurbishment and staffing levels seem inadequate resulting in delays, breakfast can take up to an hour to complete In our 4 night stay our bedding was not changed and our room was dusty and at the top of 7 flights of stairs overlooking a shabby fire escape with a tangled hosepipe left there to trip us up if we needed to escape that way
