Location

Great breakfast, good staff and VERY close to the sea.

Brilliant location.
Friendly staff.
Spacious bedroom/bathroom
Lovely breakfast.
Good outdoor space.

Super gîte à Deal. Idéalement placé face a la mer dans une bâtisse d’époque. Pour moi il n’y a pas meilleur hôtel dans cette ville côtière

Lovely big room.
Friendly helpful staff.
View of the pier .
Very comfortable stay.

We stayed for 2 nights. The family room was clean and spacious. We were not in a sea facing room and unfortunately there was a lot of noise from the road. One of the windows in the room didn’t close properly which made it worse although it cooled the room down during the night. For breakfast on the first morning I ordered pancakes with fruit and Greek yogurt but when it arrived there was no yogurt on it. I asked the waitress why there was no yogurt on and she told me quite abruptly it didn’t come with yogurt. I looked at the menu after breakfast and showed it to another staff member who confirmed it did come with yogurt. We had dinner in the restaurant that evening and I ordered Lobster Thermidor which was over cooked and tough. Breakfast the next day was good and there was yogurt. All other staff members were pleasant and helpful.

Location on the seafront was ideal and the service at breakfast was excellent.
Reception was friendly and helpful.

It’s an iconic hotel, a landmark in Deal. Prime position and bags of old school charm.

Great hotel, fab location, big clean rooms, welcoming staff, lovely food. All was well until 6am Tuesday morning. Then all hell breaks loose. At 6am Shepherd Neame's business waste contractor turns up. The hotel has a number of regular wheelie bins and six giant green commercial waste bins stored along the side of the hotel. Without a care for those around the contractor wheels to a magnificent thunder all these bins out across the end of the hotel, over the pavement to the pavement to their truck, when you then get the moan of machinery's hydraulics and clatter of all the bins being emptied one after another before the thunderous wheeling of them back into store. It is way way more than enough to wake the dead, particularly on a warm night. Just to rub it in further the contractor's operatives think it is fine to be yelling to each other over the noise of the machinery and bins. How the neighbours cope with this week on week I do not know. It is so inconsiderate. I would not want to live nearby.
If Shepherd Neame had any sense, for all their locations they would put in a clause in their waste contract forbidding the bins to be emptied between 9.30pm and 7.30 am. I know the road is busy in the day but the bins could easily be emptied early evening.
9/10ths of a fantastic stay wrecked by one stupid and inconsiderate contractor.

Great location. Good breakfast included and a good room with a view of the pier.

We stayed at the Royal Hotel over the weekend and I couldn't have asked for more. Room was incredibly spacious, clean and perfect for a weekend with children by the sea. We had dinner in the pub in the evening and the kids absolutely loved their meal and then breakfast in the morning was great. Highly recommend and will stay again.
