What guests think

At Royal Hotel, travellers highlight the superb seafront location and friendly, helpful staff, with many enjoying spacious, comfortable rooms and sea views, while noting the building’s old world charm alongside some dated areas and occasional maintenance quirks.

Breakfast and the restaurant are frequently praised, though a number of guests report inconsistent cooked items or small portions. Rooms can run warm with limited airflow and light leakage in some, and Wi-Fi reliability and paid parking are recurring frustrations. Expect a classic seaside stay with great views and welcoming service.

We recently had a very enjoyable stay at the Royal Hotel Deal. We stayed from Friday to Monday in the Churchill family room. Can honestly say it was one of if not the largest family rooms we have stayed in. The room was clean and tidy with side sea view. There was small instances of wear and tear in the room but nothing to complain about. The only drawback is no a/c and the room got quite warm. A fan is provided which helps. Breakfast was excellent with buffet cereals, fruits pastries and juices. Main breakfast is freshly cooked to order with good options. Restaurant food in evening was first class. Although we only ate in one night as wanted to try other options in Deal. It was our first visit to Deal and really loved it. There is a council car park next to hotel which charges a reasonable £10 per 24 hours. The hotel is situated in a fantastic location right on the beach. It was my wifes birthday so i asked if flowers could be put in room. They said they could get from local florist. The bouquet provided was excellent for very reasonable price £25. We would definitely revisit this hotel.

Dan is a great host. Told us all about the hotel, area and made a ton of suggestions on what to see. The restaurant was solid for breakfast and dinner. Good options for vegans - burger, lentil salad and a few other options for dinner. Full English vegan for breakfast. Right in town - walk to a castle and the pier in minutes.

2nd visit this time as a single. The room was clean but small with a small bed and faced the road. I felt it was a little overpriced for what I received. Breakfast was great as were the staff. Still confused as to how parking works but my party decided not to bring a car.

Traditional seaside hotel with lots of character and friendly service. Both dinner and breakfast were very good with lots of choices. They seem to be a bit short staffed like many other places nowadays which means waiting a bit longer than normal for food and drinks to arrive but otherwise excellent.

Room was very spacious but not very clean at all, bath panel was rotting, windows were in bad condition and the decor needs updating. Had to walk up 3 flights of stairs which is fine but the stairs were uneven (slanted down to oneside) so for health & safety reasons - very poor. Staff were lovely and the positioning of the hotel was fantastic.

We stayed at this hotel for just one night. It was perfect for our family of 5. It was clean and bed was comfortable. The complementary breakfast was absolutely AMAZING. I'd go back just for the breakfast! The reason for the 4 stars is that the hotel itself is very dated. My family would prefer more modern accommodations, but I thought it had character and charm.

We stayed one night in a family room, which was much nicer than the photos! Very spacious with comfy beds and a modern bathroom. It was sufficiently clean and the tea/coffee station was well stocked. One little niggle is that the room is rather warm so the duvets were a bit heavy for summer, but we managed. We would absolutely return!

Had a lovely stay but the curtains are not ideal as they do not cover the windows properly. We were in a corner room so had two windows - we also had a neon sign outside so there was constant light in our room and it was misleading when we woke during the night Breakfast was lovely - great variety Staff very polity and helpful Would definitely return but would bring eye mask

This hotel is old which we don’t mind. It was right on the beach but our view was very limited. It was fairly clean. Everything was squeaky and noisy: the doors, the floor, the beds. The windows opened a sliver and it was really hot, no fans or any air flow. The beds were very uncomfortable. The toilet seat was the wrong size or not fitted properly and wouldn’t flush well( but that might be “English” thing). There is no free parking nearby. The check-in was good. The staff friendly. The breakfast was decent.

Very clean but dated. Really comfy bed. Food was very good. Most of the staff were lovely, though the receptionist could do with customer service training. My main issue is, having booked following a search for dog-friendly hotels, the £20 fee imposed on my tiny, well-behaved dog on check-in struck me as excessive.

A wonderful cosy hotel right on the seafront, within a short walk from the beach, pier, shops and anything else you’d want to do or see in Deal. Our room was huge! The bathroom was large too. Comfy bed, hot powerful shower, roll top bath, tea/coffee facilities and clean throughout. The full English breakfast was excellent too! All the staff were friendly and helpful. We would definitely recommend and would stay again too…

The staff at The Royal are always good. The rooms are a little dated but exceptionally clean - lovely bedding! The issue is the breakfast. Nice choice of fruit, juice etc. but the cooked breakfast leaves a bit to be desired! Fake watery baked beans, poor quality sausage, precooked mushrooms and tomatoes. They weren’t so busy that they have to precook to the extent that they do. The breakfast is the reason we don’t stay there very often - and we visit Deal about 10 times a year!
