This was our first stay at The Royal hotel, although we had previously been for lunch and enjoyed the food and service. It is a lovely hotel set in beautiful, well kept gardens. Check in was smooth and the staff were charming and helpful. The room was well equipped, tastefully decorated and clean. The evening meal was first rate with... more

I recently went to the Royal Hotel in Ventnor with a few friends for a celebrational meal. When we arrived we where meet with warm and enthusiastic staff which showed us to the bar area and seating, we then order drinks and sat down to look at the menu. The staff talked us through the menu and courses with explanation... more

This hotel is a hidden gem with great staff, fantastic food and great location. I have used this hotel over the p[ast 6 months and from the first time I stayed they have remembered my name, what room I prefer and where I like to sit for dinner, I know that might sound sad but when you travel a lot... more

There is a lovely charm about The Royal. Beautifully maintained, with welcoming, friendly and helpful staff. Perhaps "Old English" is an apt description but definatley not stuffy A perfect choice for a special stay away - fabulous restaurant - we ate in the conservatory - great relaxed atmosphere, excellent food and service. Presentation as always - faultless. We love it... more

The only hotel to stay at if visiting the Island. I travel routinely throughout Europe and Asia, the Royal is up there with the best I've stayed in. I found the staff always ready and willing to help. The food is first class, particularly breakfast, (freshly made to order, no awful self-serve buffet). more

My wife telephoned the day before and were offered two nights for £226 B+B, bit steep but according to hype it could be worth it. We arrived at the hotel to find reasonable first impressions, the entrance hall is very large and... more

The hotel laid on a dinner for seven to celebrate our friend's silver wedding anniversary. Our table was set in the alcove above the foyer where we were lavished with the seven course 'Taster Menu'. The food was magnificently presented and tasted wonderful. The service was truly excellent throughout and I cannot think of a better environment for a small... more

Me and my family have stayed in many hotels around the world, however we have only returned to very few, The Royal in particular. Tomorrow we are leaving for our 13th visit in 7 consecutive years. It is perfect for a simple, relaxing short break with outstanding quality, or for a longer summer break. Although it may seem expensive it... more

I spend a lot of my life in hotels and restaurants and this hotel was really quite jaw droppingly excellent. The staff were personable, charming and helpful and the food was the opposite of what one might expect from an English provincial hotel. The dining room was lovely and on our last evening I counted how many staff I could... more
