I totally agree with the reviewer Lynne M. I have just returned from a 4 night break at this hotel with my friend and have had a brilliant time. It does look like it needs some TLC both inside and out but the rooms are a good size, are clean and the beds are comfortable (and I'm fussy about clean,... More

Like Ben R, we purchased a two night break through Groupon and upgraded to a balcony room. I agree entirely with Ben's comments as we too had room 302. It was awful, no sleep the first night in the lumpy bed and the second not much better. I couldn't wait to get home. The evening meal was awful and it... More

Having read the reviews on here, i was so concerned, i actually contacted the hotel before we went. I had a lovely reply from Nick who left me feeling assured that we could expect a warm welcome and reasonable accommodation. A bit scary from the outside as the hotel certainly looks as though it's seen better days, but the location... More

On the positive side - hotel was clean and staff friendly. Location was fine. On all other counts the hotel failed miserably. Tired deco was so dated and worn it was laughable but while this aspect could be ignored the quality of the food was of the lowest standard and I found virtually inedible - Jamie Oliver would have a...

Purchased a two night stay through Groupon, even upgraded to a balcony view. On arrival hotel tired with thread worn carpets other than in reception. Allocated room 302 and was agarst to find the bathroom floor sank as you walked on it with a basin covered in chips. There were cobwebs to frighten Indiana Jones and the balcony was a... More

Reading the reviews I took a gamble and booked the Royal and I'm glad I did. Staff were friendly, I was lucky to have a refurbished room which was clean. Great location, only a 10 minute walk down to the beach. Breakfast average but not many hotels offer breakfast for £5. You get what you pay for and if you... More

Tired old hotel. Ridiculous that last entry for is at 730pm. Food very basic. Does hav pool and snooker and pool tables snd bar but can hear nise from rooms above terribly

Booked this hotel from a Groupon deal....had read reviews and knew it was going to old and in need of some TLC. But we were happy to go with it as long as it was clean it would be fine. We arrived at the hotel checked in and went to our room. Yes it was very dated and smelt old!!... More

I stayed with my daughter & her partner, we really enjoyed it. The staff were very helpful, the rooms very clean & the views over Woolacombe were magic, shame about the weather. It is tired, but it didn't put us off, the food was scrummy, especially the breakfasts. I read some of the reviews after booking & was wondering what... More
