Paid extra for a 'superior' room. We had a seaview, but the window was very tiny and I noticed that many seaview rooms had larger windows, some with lovely bay windows. The room was clean, and the chambermaid changed our towels and made our bed, but very, very shabby and rather too cool for my taste. Horrid smell of cigarette... More

Stayed for my husbands birthday, great location but that was the only good thing. Fire alams went off on Saturday evening, all I can say was thank god there wasn't a real fire, evacuation procedure was unbeleveable, staff not communicating with any of guest In fact girl on reception was still checking guest in while alarm still sounding, everyone just...

Just returned from a 1 night stay at the Royal Albion. I was pleasantly surprise with this hotel after reading the reviews. We were stayed in a standard room (although you can upgrade for £10 pp however did not really see the point as we were only using it as somewhere to sleep). Room was clean (bedding was spotless and... More

A bit tired and tatty but a great spot on sea front. Hotel was very hot and no means of controlling room temp except opening the window! Short on towels and shower gel/shampoo but this was soon corrected by helpful staff. Buffet Breakfast was a bit of a bun fight with an extremely diverse and hungry customer mix. Six Sausages,...

My husband, mother-in-law, brother-in-law and I stayed in this establishment for a 4 day break over the Christmas period - it was horrendous - to put it mildly. The hotel was unloved and chaotic, the restaurant and lounge were overcrowded making it difficult, especially for my mother-in-law (86) to cross the room and as a majority of the guests were... More

Loved this old hotel - she must have been something in her day - great location - amazing full English breakfast - 15 min walk to the trains - 30 seconds to the pier - right near The Lanes entrance - good fish and chip shop to the right of the hotel - rooms are clean but dated - great... More

With much trepidation, bearing in mind the reviews for this hotel on tripadvisor, we went to the Royal Albion for a Twix Christmas break and I have to say that we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Yes the hotel could do with a lot of TLC, but our room, which I must admit was superior one, (314) had a wonderful outlook right... More
