We stayed for 4 nights in March to visit the wife's rellies and attend a wedding which coincided with the most glorious weather. Our room was spaceous and front facing with great view of the pier and promenade and a lot of people taking advantage of the warmth during the day. (Sadly, you don't appear to be able to walk...

With more and more hotels becoming part of chains where you know exactly what any room in any country will look like, stepping into this hotel is walking back a decasde or two. Furnished in many different styles which presumably reflect the periods during which they were refurbished, most of the rooms seem to be large by modern standards. At... More

I stayed here on business for 2 nights recently due to the hotel I normally stay in being sold out. Having got used to the other hotel I must say I was apprehensive about the move. I need not have worried, this hotel was brilliant. They made me feel most welcome on arrival and I was extremely impressed all round.... More

I stayed at this hotel for 1 night and had a brilliant stay. I had booked a single room with sea view and was very pleasently suprised to be allocated room 109 - a beautiful suite which was very welcome after a 5 hour journey from Leeds. I only wish I could have stayed longer. The service from staff was... More

I love old hotels with character and this was exactly that, a hotel with lots of character! From the moment I walked in the door the feeling of history and splendour struck me.

From the moment I arrived at Royal Beach I was made to feel valued and welcome. Nothing was too much trouble. All staff were attentive without being intrusive. The room was excellent, spacious, scrupulously clean with a wonderful sea view. The breakfast was always good and I especially recommend the portsmouth fish market smoked haddock at no extra cost. The... More

On arrival I was initially disappointed because we seemed too far out of the town of Portsmouth. Also some of the buildings near the hotel were boarded up which is never a good look. However the VERY friendly welcome from all staff we encountered more than counteracted our location. The views from our rooms were magnificent - the pier (admittedly... More

I recently brought my elderly mother to this hotel for a 3-night break. The weather was not kind to us but the hotel and staff more than compensated for that. Our room was spacious, well-furnished and spotlessly clean. My mother is not very mobile, and every member of staff was extremely helpful and friendly to us both, offering smiling assistance... More

Big hotel for the standards of Best Western but running with minimal staff. The girl at the reception seemed to be bored from her job or was waiting the time to depart and showed an unusual apathy when we ask for parking .(one of the reasons we chose the hotel) It was occupied by visitors who came for a dring...
