Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Royal Hotel enjoys a very central, seafront location, putting guests close to great restaurants and shops while still offering surprising quiet. Many rooms offer great views, and are described as lovely, clean spaces. While some have noted the hotel is a 10-minute walk from the centre and that breakfast may not be available despite being advertised, most agree that the location is excellent.

Decent Stay

warm welcome sea views day passes breakfast issue breakfast availability close breakfast

Eddy greeted us warmly and remembered our names. I was especially pleased that the room had amazing sea views. Parking was available right outside THE hotel, thanks to day passes provided by Eddy.

Breakfast was listed as included, but it was NOT available. The manager said it could not be booked at all, surprising. There was NO easily accessible breakfast option nearby.
