The Royal Lion Hotel

located in the small downtown Lyme Regis, easy to go to the beach, shops and restaurants it is an very old inn, very tradition english wooden building, downstair is the bar and restaurant, a bit oily smell, beware of no air-con

We booked for a king size bed,it was not. Pool too cold,sauna not even hot. Staff good,breakfast spot on.

Room was quite basic, but we had a very comfortable stay. Only real issue was that shower was not very good, very little power and a small shower head.

The only thing going for this hotel is the location. Other than that it is over priced for what they offer. They have a cleanliness issue. Maintenance needs to be addressed as a matter of urgency and the food both evening and breakfast was dire.

Really enjoyed our 4 day stay

Lovely old hotel with great staff. Lack of air conditioning is a shame during the recent heat waves. Fantastic breakfast. Would use again if visiting the area

We only had breakfast during our stay and there was plenty to chose from. Would be nice to have more hot drink options at breakfast and to be given a cup rather than a pot as it just gets cold and wasted. The bunk beds did not feel safe, had broken slat and had dirty cheese wax smeared into the slats. The pillows were all rock hard and very uncomfortable. We were told on arrival the bunk beds were only suitable upto age 12 and our daughters being 12 and 16 was not ideal, this had not been noted at the point of booking on Expedia. However even if our girls were under 12 we would not have felt the saftey of the bunks any lesser of an issue. They just need replacing.

Very hard and uncomfortable bed with a heavy quilt

Great stay. Lovely location. Bathroom needs some upgrading and the water pressure was very low. Dinner was great. Location was fantastic. Service from Carrie was first rate. She was attentive, professional and caring.

Positives:- - Free parking (first come first served) - Beautiful Room and wonderful sea view from the balcony - Bathroom spotless - Great breakfast selection - Pool (prebooking required) small but good for lengths and jacuzzi very relaxing. - Staff all very welcoming and polite Negatives:- - Breakfast time slot needs to be prebooked - Swimming pool time slot needs to be prebooked - No air con (room gets quite hot in the morning) - No telephone in room to call reception Overall a great time was had at The Royal Lion. A convenient town center location with free parking onsite. We weren't told on booking or arrival that we needed to prebook the swimming pool which meant we couldn't have a swim on our first morning. It was strange that the rooms furthest from reception didn't have a phone but the rooms closest to reception did? Not a major problem, just a little peculiar. Would highly recommend, just make sure you get your pool time prebooked if you want to use it!!

Fabulous

If you are on holiday taking a break away for some peace and quiet, ask for a room well away from others staying with yapping dog in their room.

Hotel is very nice and excellently situated with on site parking a huge bonus. Room was clean and well equipped but bed was a bit hard for my tastes and shower wasn't great (a shower head from a bath had been fitted and so it didn't sit in the bracket correctly). The breakfast was very nice with a decent range of options and staff were uniformly polite and helpful.

Very friendly team. Handy for the centre of Lyme Regis

Position within Lyme, able to secure a car space in the parking lot, and our room was comfortable, good size, nice view, good facilities, and modern.

The receptionist was wonderful, helpful and friendly. The bar was bright, unwelcoming and not a place you would want to spend anytime or money in. Needs a refurbishment and lighting reviewed to make it a warm environment which it definitely isn’t. The first room was supposed to have a sea view but there was a very large plum tree which obscured it completely. We were booked for a last breakfast (our choice) and it wasn’t great and obviously been held under the lights. The site is extremely convenient in the centre of the town but could be soo much better. Come on Hall and Woodhouse, you’ve got amazing people let down by the substandard environment they are working in. Hall and Woodhouse you could do so much better and there’s no competition in this town apart from air b n b???

We were in the annexe part, and although our room, bathroom and balcony were great, every night hundreds of seagulls landed on our roof, running up and down squawking, I only had 2 hours sleep the first night. I’m told measures are being put in place to solve this problem. I don’t recommend rooms 31-35!

A quality Hotel in the heart of the town. Our room and its comfort was excellent. It was clean and well decorated with a spotless walk in shower. The staff were very polite, caring and interested. Big choices for breakfast, that were excellent. The only downside was the wi fi which didnt work away from the main building.

Very friendly hotel with an old fashion charm
