10/10 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.

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

Not luxury, but ok for the price. The building is very old, but interesting. We struggled to open the window for fresh air.Helpful staff. Mucky windows from outside, but with nice views. Cobweb on the ceiling. Impressive fitness and leisure facilities with additional fee of 6£.

6/10

The Royal is a beautiful ornate building situated in an excellent position for the town and beach but in need of tlc. A massive task for anyone to maintain. The bedrooms need an update and cleaning thoroughly although bedding clean and towels soft. The reception staff were so friendly and helpful a plus for the hotel. We all have to make a profit but £3.60 for a small bottle of coke in the bar seemed extortionate having paid £2.60 at The Britannia hotel Aberdeen. This drives away extra custom for the hotel.
