Having spent a night at the Royal Castle with my partner in May 2009 we were delighted with the warm traditional hospitality. We were upgraded to a river view room (14), the room was not large, but nicely decorated, well maintained and had everything you could require - especially the view! It was good traditional hospitality at its best, delivered... more

We arrived without a booking and got a large double room with a view of the beautiful harbour at Dartmouth. The room was immaculate and luxuriously furnished, and a lovely corner jacuzzi bath in the en-suite. Room 15. The staff. and especially the proprietor, were very friendly and helpful. We had our two year old toddler with us and they... more

We have just spent a 3 nights over the bank holiday weekend with the Royal Castle Hotel and had a lovely time. The food was brilliant and we felt reasonably priced, at breakfast and in the Galleon bar at night. The staff were friendly and helpful, the owner even gave our daughter (who is 9) raw bacon at breakfast to... more

Many stays and visits, Nigel Way (owner) makes this place special..nothing too much trouble, always walking the floor checking guests are happy, even if just dropped in for coffee..or staying overnight. Quirky hotel with lovely rooms (and a few very modern ones!), the two bars are totally different, we love the one on the right (facing hotel), full of hustle... more

Stayed at the Castle for a Sunday night in early March and I expected there not to be many other guests but there were plenty at breakfast in the morning. As has been said in other reviews, the hotel is right in the middle of town so you don’t have far to go for many of the attractions of this... more

My girlfriend and I recently stayed at the Royal Castle hotel for her birthday and had a great experience. We have over 22 years of hotel experience (varying from 3-5 stars) between us and so naturally have very high standards. From even before we arrived at the hotel, we received very efficient and curteous service. Check in was very welcoming,... more

We expected great things from the Royal Castle after having seen the website, we had booked a standard double room but were upgraded to a River View room which had a fantastic view so we no disappointed.......until it came to try out the jacuzzi bath that is, no hot water! On phoning reception I was told that it was a... more

An excelent hotel with very well appointed roome, great food and a fabulous bar. We really cannot speak too highly of this place as a base for visiting Dartmouth & the surrounding area. Highly recommended and we woul certainlky use them again if visiting the area. more

We thought this hotel was over-priced for what it was...the rooms are clean but quite old, it's in a great location and the staff are really friendly however it's more like a glorified pub than the posh hotel it markets itself as. We stayed on a Thursday night when there was a band in playing in the pub...we'd paid extra... more
