The Royal Hotel.

The hotel is lovely. Excellent location, staff are really lovely and helpful. Unfortunately it does need a complete refurbishment. It is very tired and dated. It has the potential to be a fantastic hotel if the above is carried out.

2nd visit this time as a single. The room was clean but small with a small bed and faced the road. I felt it was a little overpriced for what I received. Breakfast was great as were the staff. Still confused as to how parking works but my party decided not to bring a car.

We stayed one night in a family room, which was much nicer than the photos! Very spacious with comfy beds and a modern bathroom. It was sufficiently clean and the tea/coffee station was well stocked. One little niggle is that the room is rather warm so the duvets were a bit heavy for summer, but we managed. We would absolutely return!

Room was very spacious but not very clean at all, bath panel was rotting, windows were in bad condition and the decor needs updating. Had to walk up 3 flights of stairs which is fine but the stairs were uneven (slanted down to oneside) so for health & safety reasons - very poor. Staff were lovely and the positioning of the hotel was fantastic.

The staff at The Royal are always good. The rooms are a little dated but exceptionally clean - lovely bedding! The issue is the breakfast. Nice choice of fruit, juice etc. but the cooked breakfast leaves a bit to be desired! Fake watery baked beans, poor quality sausage, precooked mushrooms and tomatoes. They weren’t so busy that they have to precook to the extent that they do. The breakfast is the reason we don’t stay there very often - and we visit Deal about 10 times a year!

Great family room at the Royal

Great sized family room. Beds were comfy and big enough including the bunk beds. Part sea view with great facilities in the room. Lacked an iron or hairdryer but I believe these were available on request
