Yes it was Groovey but we could have done with a change of towels

Staff were excellent. After an issue with our girst room we were given a replacement room of equal standard with no troubke at all.

Do not book this hotel !!!!! Room was horrendous I have stopped in some poor hotels in past but this is by far the worst chewing gum stuck on bathroom floor bins not emptied mould all over , we had a baby with us and wouldn’t stay in this so had to travel back home !!!

Absolute filth 🙈 Wouldnt recommend staying here at all and will never stay again. Complained about the state of our room (bed dirty, damp and the kettle with black bits inside) took over an hour for someone to go up and sort what they could. Was told there was no other rooms however when looking online there was rooms. Spoke to multiple other guests who had the same and had moved to 1 - 3 different rooms. Cleaners want sacking. They make it look tidy but dont actually clean. Entertainment was 30mins long and that was your lot. 🙈 all the floors are slanted and not level. Needs a massive renovation to be honest. First hotel i have ever been to where the receptionist doesnt asks how your stay was or says they hope you enjoyed your stay, which says it all to me. FIND SOMEWHERE ELSE!!

The entry and main hall was just beautiful, I even took pictures so beautiful it was. I would not mind the room was old, u could see where the water was leaked in, but crumbs on the floor everywhere even hallway and smushed mirror and cobweb on the sealing, no thank u. Chair dirty from some coffee or milk spill didn’t leave good impression. Again, didn’t mind old fashion room, I very much liked it but the dirt, that was shame for the hotel. As in room so in hallways.

Loved the room , we had stayed in it before and it has been upgraded and was lovely and warm. The breakfast was good , a really good choice on the buffet. The staff were lovely and helpful.

We were upgraded to 2 great rooms, staff are great and rooms were clean, love coming here, been a few times.thanks to the hotel.

The room was out dated and in need of a little TLC, my room was big a double bed, toilet and bath/shower the only other i would complain about was tje radiators stayed on most of tue night, not everyone feels the cold

Faultless. Beautiful building inside and out. Pet friendly, staff great. Great location, pubs literally 2 mins down the road. I'l be back soon.

Nice and historic place Need to maintained

Nice big room with a nice sea view. A few things a bit out dated but was good for the price

Always love staying here

Beutiful building ... Lovely spotless room. V large penthouse suite. Very welcoming and helpful..staff . Definitely will return.

Lovely hotel. Room was clean and comfortable and the staff was fantastic.

Great stay again..

When entering the hotel it looked great all decorated for Christmas but when we got to our room we couldn't of been more disappointed, the dust in the room was unbelievable, marks all over the furniture, the radiators were thick with muck the lights were so dusty in cobwebs , dirty single glazed windows, we didn't even bother using the bathroom apart from the loo, told the kids to keep their shoes on, they did offer us another room but it wasn't much better, slept badly because of this as felt uncomfortable, I will not be going back unfortunately as it's great location to the beach, the staff were friendly also just cleanliness

We booked two nights there with breakfast included, and paid . According to the sheet the hotel gave us, breakfast was served from 7:30 AM to 10:00 AM. However, on the second day, when we went for breakfast at 9:30 AM, they told us breakfast ended at 9 and didn’t even allow us to take a coffee, even though there was no note on the sheet indicating that breakfast would be served only until 9 when the hotel is quiet, so that we would know. Since I had booked the hotel, I was very embarrassed in front of my partner, unfortunately.Also, they didn’t come to clean our room; they only gave us towels, and we had to make the bed ourselves. The coffee maker didn’t work either.But the room was spacious and nice, and had a good view, and also the water pressure and the bathtub were excellent.and the staff were polite. Any way thank you .

Had a great stay at the royal , the lobby is stunning and has a real nice feel to the hotel - rooms basic but clean - would definitely recommend

Although the room on the 5th floor was spacious, we felt like we were in an attic! Good view from the window but we couldn't see it much due to the single bed placed under the window. The bed wasn't that comfy although spacious but the sheets weren't long enough and kept sliding down from the pillows. The hotel is splendid downstairs and was very festive but the bedrooms need updating as do the en suites. We found the man who gave us our room robe pleasant but apart from a cleaner, we had no conversation with anyone. On leaving the hotel we handed in the key and there was a quick thank you. I wouldn't return as i found it expensive for the room. They desperately need to update upstairs. staff

A beautiful hotel situated in an excellent location but in need of lots of tender loving care. We booked a double room and ended up with a family room on the back. Having stopped before this was a disappointment. The light in the bathroom was intermittent the toilet seat wouldn’t stop up and the tap was stiff and hard to get water. The room needed a deep clean. Apparently it is a dog friendly hotel and our room definitely smelt of animal on asking due to allergies the only rooms that our dog free are the suites and luxury rooms. I don’t object to animals at all but if you have an allergy you need the assurance. This time we booked room only so we cannot comment on food or other facilities. The staff on the whole were very friendly with the exception of one member of reception despite being very efficient she had no people skills which could be perceived as being rude. As stated earlier the building itself is beautiful with its sweeping staircase and in its time must have been the ultimate place to stay. Such a shame this hotel could have a lot of potential.
