Nothing royal about the hotel which is being refurbished throughout 2025. It really needs it as everything is old, so thank you for doing it. However, you need to put it on Expedia and other websites! There are scafolding everywhere and the only rooms available are at the back overlooking dirty streets and roofs and pigeons! everwhere! The staff is the best - very helpful!

Staff was very friendly, breakfast was good. There is construction both on the street and at the hotel. This turned our sea view to a view of scaffolding and the plastic wrapped around it. The beds are not comfortable and the toilet did not flush properly. Parking is VERY limited, more so when 1 vehivle takes multiple spots. Certainly renovations are needed. I wish we were alerted to the extent of construction taking place. Thankfully we were only there 1 night..

Upon arrival the hotel was undergoing refurbishment and it showed - the receptionist was a vacuuming the front stairs and then upon going up to my room the rest of the paint work was tired and the carpets worn- my room was at best a room with very dated pine furniture and worn carpet-the ensuite was freezing due to no heating and the shower cubicle rotten at the base and the whole room was a lack lustre mess and the mattress....well more like a bag with springs!!!

Weekend break...
We were given a room that felt dirty, I asked to swap the staff obliged and were really attentive. The hotel is run down but undergoing refurbishments which are really needed, the area is lovely the staff are great but the hotel itself is in dire need of a clean and refurb, not sure if we would go back as there are other options in the area that look much nicer
