Treated like a King at the Royal

The location of this hotel is absolutely amazing. The Crosby beach is only a 10 minute walk and the main street of Waterloo is just 5 minutes away with bars and restaurants a plenty. The Royal Hotel is a lovely place to stay with a restaurant on site. The staff are excellent and very helpful. The rooms are clean and have enough space. You have tea and coffee making facilities in the room and a fan to cool you down on hot days as there is no aircon. Rooms are set on 2 floors but there is no lift so maybe not a place to stay if you are disabled. We had a meal on our first night and the food was delightful and cooked to perfection. The price of the meal was affordable and the service by the waitress was excellent. They have a bar there that can seat plenty of customers and once again the bar staff are very helpful and cheerful. I will definitely be staying here again in the future and would advise anyone heading to this area to do the same. Thank you to all the staff at the Royal it was a pleasure to stay at your lovely hotel.

We stayed here on our way to the Isle of Man .. if you are a biker, room 26 (if I recall correctly) is perfect for you. Bikes are right out front, and you get your own entrance.

This property is in a strategically wonderful location. By the beach and south road with tons of restaurants and pubs if you feel like sticking around the hotel. It’s also 8mins walk from Waterloo Station which can get you into Liverpool City Center in 20mins. All around great place to stay with an amazing breakfast menu and great staff

The staff were fantastic and accommodating. The hotel is unique but right on the water, along with South Road having loads of restaurants and pubs right around the corner. Also its proximity to Mersey Rail and 20min ride into city center in Liverpool is great.

Nice hotel across from Crosby beach and 20 minutes walk from the Anthony Gormley statues . Really friendly staff at reception, breakfast and housekeeping Clean comfortable rooms mine was overlooking the front of the hotel. There are pull down mesh screens over the windows due to sand flies . The safe in the room has a £10 refundable charge. Train station is nearby and bus stops into Liverpool 10 minutes walk away. Takes about 45 minutes into city centre n the 53 bus.
