Royal Lion Hotel

perfect beach view

Average room, glasses left from previous visitors. Lovely view from room. Hotel could do with a refurb, lots of potential

Very spacious room with amazing sea views, however, decor very old and dated. That said, still reasonable for the price. Some renovation works going on, could be amazing in this location

It was clean and had a lovley view. Staff were a little standoffish.

Excellent location. The hotel was being renovated when I was staying but I wasn't disrupted by it.

The staff were very friendly and the room was spacious and clean

Very hospitable and accommodating staff.Lovely spacious rooms with sea view.

An older property with grrst character.

Staff were polite friendly and helpful, our room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was lovely, we would happily stay here again. Thank you we enjoyed our anniversary break.

Lovely hotel in the process of being renovated so not many rooms open breakfast lovely room spotless £45 per nite with breakfast amazing value

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Although work going on in the building, it did not affect us. Room was huge, bed very comfortable, and the added bonus of a large sofa to watch tv if needed, small table and 2 chairs overlooking the sea. And all exceptionally clean. Everything you need in the room, tea/coffee, towels, soaps, hairdryer etc. Would definitely go there again.

Hotel is literally being demolished before your very eyes - hopefully it will come out stronger without leaks, slanted floorways, and better windows. The rooms themselves are extremely small and not super clean. The walls are coming undone with fiberglass showing and it's just a troubling sight. Breakfast was good and staff are doing their best given the condition of the structure.

Will be good once all the work has been completed., as its having a full refurbishment at the moment, would have been good to of been told when booking. Also the lift was not in service. Breakfast is ok but need better quality sausages.

We were a little apprehensive when we saw that there was building work going on as the hotel is being revamped, but we needn’t have worried, the hotel and builders worked closely to ensure there wasn’t an issue with noise etc.
The room we had was spotlessly clean, it was a little tired decor wise, but this is obviously being addressed. I hope they do not remove too much of the old features, which gives it its character.
The staff were amazing, nothing was too much trouble, they were helpful, kind and most importantly had great senses of humour. The breakfast was great, choice of cereals, toast , yoghurt grapefruit and a cooked full English. Have already recommended to friends and family as it was also good value for money.

The Hotel resembled a building site with scaffolding on the exterior of the building, with construction workers coming and going in the interior, which was shabby-Peeling paint, dirty floors.
One evening, I had to go without hot water.
The breakfast wasn't inspiring, cheap cereals in dispensers, English breakfast didn't look appetising.
Although, the rooms were clean they were tired looking.They need to be fresh, modern and contempary.
The Hotel shouldn't be open for business, with all this work going on.

The lady at the breakfast was very nice.

Run down hotel very sad to see

The hotel is undergoing a major renovation at the time of my visit which must be very challenging at times to provide the best customer service but I felt they are doing a grand job. The staff were very pleasant and the workmen were extremely polite and apologetic if they were in my way going up and down the stairs.
My room was clean and I was able to relax in a very comfortable bed after having a lovely hot bath. Tea and coffee provided.
So look beyond the inital viewing of the hotel and concentrate on the more personal things.
A good hearty breakfast the following morning saw me start my day off well.

No mention that the hotel was covered in scaffolding prior to booking 2 weeks before stay, amazing location but no views for hotel as to ongoing work, rooms are in dire need of modernising, staff were great and very helpful

Need lot to do I have walk to 4 floors no lift I have knee is really is not.
