Stayed in one of the newly refurbished rooms and it was exceptional. All of the refurbished areas were a great standard. The new bar was superb and busy every evening. Buffet breakfast also superb and freshly replenished. Price was spot on with great views over the west cliff. Definitely recommend.

Great little break at The Royal, recommended by a friend who'd stayed very recently. Lovely hotel, currently undergoing a renovation but didn’t cause any issues for us. Room Was spotless, great size overlooking the sea. Bed was super comfy and a good sized modern bathroom with shower and separate bath. Warm rooms, great bar area and the restaurant looked decent and well priced however we didn’t eat on the premises. Staff were brilliant, friendly and couldn't do enough for you. Would absolutely visit again!

Booked superior twin room ,quite dated but spacious ,not sure where the superior status comes from as it was very average ,the only real disappointment was the breakfast ,we payed £15-50 each for a very poor excuse for a buffet breakfast ,food trays were not replenished very quickly if at all ,and continental selection was sparse ,no where near value for money,
