After having read other reviews on this hotel, I was a little dubious about booking. Others were being a little harsh and giving it negative feedback because it had 'creaky floor boards' or 'full of Germans'. (their words - NOT mine) On arrival we found this hotel to be very posh. Nicely painted, lots of lights which we knew would... more

Just returned from a weekend at the Norfolk Royale. We went on a special deal which made it very worth while! The location is fantastic for the shops and the Winter Gardens! The food was good and better than expected. Our room, although very large with a seperate sitting area was very dated and run-down but comfortable enough for a... more

We stayed here for 2 nights on the 3rd September 2009. We found the Hotel generally very clean, the rooms are fairly well furnished and clean . The breakfast's are not quite 4* standards more like 3* . I would actually rate this Hotel 3* in World Standards. The breakfast room was dirty from the night before like peas and... more

We booked via Last Minute and it was one of their surprise hotels. We paid £220 for the two of us for 3 nights B&B. They confirmed the hotel once we received their email so we knew where we were staying almost straight away. I looked on Trip Advisor and was a little worried as some of the reviews were... more

We stayed at the Norfolk Royale for four nights at the end of August 2009. On arrival we really liked the look of the hotel - traditional English seaside hotel. It looked clean, well kept, inviting and of course the hotel's in a great location. Check-in was good, very friendly and helpful, and when we required the services of the... more

We booked this hotel as a last minute getaway for a short break through last minute.com Top Secret Hotels which I was a bit apprehensive about doing! I would strongly advise if you have booked a standard room to upgrade to a better room for which they charge £10 per person per night. We were allocated a room on the... more

I booked 3 nights mid-week for a bit of R&R through Lastminute.com. top-secret. Got the room for £50 per night B&B - amazing value. Yes, it costs £12 a night to park your car, but it is in a secure underground car park so well worth it. We were allocated a room on the top floor facing the road, and... more

We booked a midweek overnight to bournemouth at the end of the summer holidays. We booked this hotel via the lastminute.com offer of a 'top secret hotel'. Although I was skeptical of the offer initally, we thought it was the Norfolk Royale. We were not disappointed. Although I do understand some reviewers thinking it was a little old-fashioned, we were... more

We booked through Lastminute.com top secret hotels. We got a good rate, for two interconnecting rooms for ourselves and our 6yr old twins. On contacting the hotel, we were curtly told by the reservation manager these rooms weren't available for our stay! Thankfully later that day we spoke to a very helpful receptionist who told us the rooms were available... more
