I stayed at this hotel while attending a friends wedding. The staff are lovely but the hotel itself is very dated. Breakfast was ok but there wasn't a vast choice. Great location. Shower was awful. Good points and bad but ok if you just want the basics More

Lovely Friendly hotel, just outside the city centre. Great food, great staff, clean, warm and welcoming. Short walk to Waterloo station, 5 mins, and easy to access city. Cracking view of sunset.... Wouldn't hesitate to return More

I was lucky enough to be booked into this hotel by clients for a wedding I filmed and therefore didn't pay to stay, however this doesn't influence my review.

We came up to visit family and friends, and since they live in Crosby, the Royal is well placed. We stayed three nights and from arrival to departure, we would find it almost impossible to find fault. We were given a good twin room with a new bathroom on the second floor with an excellent view across the Marine Gardens... More

I recently celebrated my 50th Birthday at the Royal. We were a party of 23 and we had a lovely meal on the Saturday evening. The menu was the Large Party Menu which provided a nice choice to suit all tastes. The food was excellent, served hot with nice freshly prepared veg and potatoes, and served efficiently by obliging staff.... More

We've been staying here annually for several years now and intend to book again in 2012. The accommodation is good and since the hotel is close to the High st. we can leave the car & take the train into town. More
