Royal Hotel

This hotel was the worst one I have ever stayed in, I expect that it's an Old building, but the overall state of repair is shocking, when you exit the elevator to any floor you see white flakes of paint and wood at every opening, this I deduced was the wood work of the doorway, which was being battered by the wheeled baskets ,that is used for transporting the bed clothes and other parafenalia to and from the rooms, the windows were ill fitting and drafty the door was as if the norm was to prise it open with a screwdriver. The management should prioritise inspecting the place and ensuring that Old doesn't have to mean TATTY.

The pictures on hotels did not reflect the room . Apparantly the pictures of the standard room on hotels were of a suite . Although the staff tried their wasn’t availability . The hotel is tired and dated .

The hotel was lovely, however the room itself was pretty tired decor wise, and quite cluttered. Extra pillows and milk / tea etc had to be requested from Reception. The hotel lounge was good value during Happy Hour but charging 80p for a dash of lime in lager was very steep I thought

Great beach view

For an older property, you will expect some flaws and these are generally minor overall. The entrance, stairs and communal areas are well presented, were clean and smelled clean. The room we were in (203) was in a good condition overall, but was showing its age in some places. The windows are painted closed, but are single glazed, so transmit all outside noise. The curtains do not fully block out of the exterior hotel lights (which are on all the time from what I could see) The rail in the wardrobe was on the floor of the wardrobe as an ironing board and desk fan had been stored in there. The bedding was clean, but there were blood stains on the actual pillow itself. A great hotel for its location and price point however. Have stayed here previously and would stay again.
