This is a very tired hotel in dire need if a refurbishment. I paid travelodge prices but the place didn't even meet those standards. The bathroom floor was black but it was hard to know if this was cleanliness or just worn out. Staff were friendly but failed to make the alarm call that reception had agreed so I'm not... More

We attended a 'Line Dancing' themed weekend and as we have stayed at this hotel in the past we knew what to expect. This is a large comfortable 'higgedly piggedly" hotel which on the outside and inside looks a little dated. Don't judge this hotel by first appearances!! Clean, welcoming and food excellent.The buffet style is an excellent idea and... More

I have read many poor reviews for the royal hotel at woolacombe that in my opinion are totally unjustified considering the price of your stay. It is a budget hotel and as that I feel the hotel as a whole is very good. Our room was clean and although a bit dated was pleasant with tea/coffee,tv with DVD player and... More

As regular weekend visitors to Devon for the surf, the Royal hotel offers everything you need for the weekend. Its not the most beautifully decorated hotel, but then it knows that, that's why its only £20 pp/pn. But it does have great views, comfy beds and a hot shower which is all you really need. That and you can still... More

I quite like this hotel even though it has some faults with its age and diversity of rooms .Go for a room with a balcony they are larger than the standard rooms although not always warmer due to facing the sea and winds.Try to avoid room 203 we found it too warm and could not have the window open due...

I am in two minds about this hotel, we booked a family room for 1 night for 2 adults and 2 children. This hotel is really starting to show its age both externally and internally. The staff were very helpful when booking in and no issues there. The family room we booked had beds for five although there was only... More
