Customer service from 'gent' on reception was downright rude, it is not acceptable to shout at guests and reduce them to tears!. Hotel needs a complete refurb. old, tatty, smelly. Breakfast ingredients were as cheap as possible, thank god I didnt stay there for any other meal, it was not possible to order a simple pot of coffee, dining room... More

Paid extra for a 'superior' room. We had a seaview, but the window was very tiny and I noticed that many seaview rooms had larger windows, some with lovely bay windows. The room was clean, and the chambermaid changed our towels and made our bed, but very, very shabby and rather too cool for my taste. Horrid smell of cigarette... More

Just returned from a 1 night stay at the Royal Albion. I was pleasantly surprise with this hotel after reading the reviews. We were stayed in a standard room (although you can upgrade for £10 pp however did not really see the point as we were only using it as somewhere to sleep). Room was clean (bedding was spotless and... More

A bit tired and tatty but a great spot on sea front. Hotel was very hot and no means of controlling room temp except opening the window! Short on towels and shower gel/shampoo but this was soon corrected by helpful staff. Buffet Breakfast was a bit of a bun fight with an extremely diverse and hungry customer mix. Six Sausages,...

My husband, mother-in-law, brother-in-law and I stayed in this establishment for a 4 day break over the Christmas period - it was horrendous - to put it mildly. The hotel was unloved and chaotic, the restaurant and lounge were overcrowded making it difficult, especially for my mother-in-law (86) to cross the room and as a majority of the guests were... More
