Ok for a one night stay
My stay was mixed, I had booked a single room for one night. On arrival I found the bedding to be torn and had a large hole in the quilt cover. I reported this to reception and was moved to a different room, this was a very nice room and the bedding was fine. The hotel itself is quite tired, would benefit from a refurb, there were several leaks around the building. Pleasant staff who were very helpful.

Better than expected
Hotel was better than expected after reading the reviews, first room we were given hadn’t been cleaned when we went to it so we were upgraded to a better room, used pool and sauna, pool was nice and warm, would be nice if it was included in the price but the £6 charge each wasn’t too bad. Breakfast tasted nice and was hot too which was a bonus. Some of the corridors had an offensive smell.

Great postion for beach / city centre. Marvellous friendly ,helpful staff, good quality breakfast/evening meals , comfortable bed/pillows, fluffy towels, good selection of drinks in the bar, comfy seating in bar , fab Edwardian hotel with a must see staircase and thick plush carpets. I used multi story car park across the road Friday night to Sunday noon £21. I would certainly go back to the Royal hotel.

Pronouns matter
Excellent stay again from the evening reception team at this hotel where I stay regularly as a guest when doing voluntary unpaid work in Yorkshire.
Only problem is the morning reception team who misgender trans and non binary people at check out with male pronouns

Don’t believe the good reviews- this place needs a few million spending on it to get it up to standard.
Thick dusk in rooms, wonky floors, first size gap under doors, dirty towels, smells of spoke on reception.
If you’re coming for a lads weekend fine. Coming with partner or kids, run - awful place
