We stayed at the Royal for the bank holiday weekend. The welcome was very friendly and the staff very helpful. The hotel is currently undergoing renovation, so various parts of the hotel are work in progress, so it should look excellent when it is finished. The food was excellent and the overall stay was good value for money. My one... More

The hotel is undergoing a huge refurbishment, which is desperately needed. We stayed in an Executive Room. It had been refurbished and was clean and bright, but fell short of being special due to poor attention to detail. For example, the bathroom had a wonderful walk-in shower but nowhere to put your toiletries apart from a teeny shelf or on... More

Just returned from a really lovely stay at The Royal Hotel. Our bedroom was clean, modern & meet all our expectations with a very comfortable bed! We ate in the Hotel that evening and we could not fault the meal and such generous portions at a very reasonable price. It was a very busy Saturday night and we hadn't booked... More

I visit Bacton 2 or 3 times a year, and bad experiences in local private hotels sent me as far as Norwich in search of my standard, 'safe' Premier Inn choice, but I will probably use The Royal from now on. A lot of money seems to have been spent on the rooms recently. They are to a high standard... More

This is an update on my previous visits. it is a pity that Trip Adviser can't or will not delete some old reviews as this affects overall percentage of the establishments current standards. Yes this hotel had its bad days, l stayed here back then and did not have anything good about the place. But that was a very long... More

This was a very well appointed hotel. Not very far away from the sea which, even on a cold day, was a major plus! I really didnt know what to think about this hotel based on the reviews that were extremely mixed! However, I have learnt before that if they reviews are mixed it best just to give it a... More

General: we stayed for one night and had agreed in advance to have a dog room as we have a young dog. We were pleased the hotel was genuinely dog friendly as promised. Service was so welcoming. Food: lots of choice, even for vege food - filling and quick. Great atmosphere in the bar and again, friendly service. The night... More
