Wonderful Hotel
Pros:

Fantastic location (Minutes from the beach) and a truly wonderful Hotel. Rooms are spotlessly clean throughout as is the entire Hotel. Staff are all absolutely lovely with nothing being too much trouble. We didn't eat there but enjoyed the bar which was very reasonably priced and much cheaper than going into town.

Cons:

Everything was lovely.

I just love Royal Bath Hotel
Pros:

Excelente Location near to the beach.

Lovely Victorian building.

High cleaning standards, comfortable bed, room.

Despite it has no air con, the room has a good quality tower fan.

Food, traditional English Food buffet that tastes as Home made food. I loved it.

Lovely pool, sauna, gym and green areas.

Friendly staff

Wonderful entertainment team which make the evenings very enjoyable with trivia, quiz, music bingo, prizes, karaoke, choreographies,l.

Cons:

I can't complain about anything, I like this hotel very much. I can't remember how many times I have stayed in this hotel since 2017, the only point that I think could be improved is making people aware about the lovely nights with the entertainment team.

Please make people aware of the entertainment the hotel offeres. I. found about it because I read about it the asked where could I find them.

Let your guests know about it from the moment they check in.
