this week has been an absolute nightmare!!! My mum fell and had horrendous injuries, the dog was ill and the car (new) broke down. UGH!! After this week I did not feel like cooking a meal. The Royal came to the rescue. We had a lovely relaxing meal, and we were able to take the dog, who is getting well,... More

The position of the Royal in Deal and also for playing the golf course was ideal. The hotel rooms were v good and well priced for the location. We were well looked after with one of the roooms being unavailable on the first night and then spending one night in an altenate room. Not too much trouble and the staff... More

Our room had a lovely sea view and was extremely comfortable. Brilliant, happy staff made the whole stay relaxing and fun. Breakfast was especially good, both for choice and service. We have returned since for a meal and drinks because the Royal has such a good atmosphere. Parking in the adjacent public car park turned out to be fine, staff... More

We stayed at the Royal on a business trip to Kent last week. I called the hotel to book the room and spoke with Lena - to ascertain how accessible the accommodation was since my partner has a disability. She was brilliant and told me all about the room - the only drawback was no sea view for the accessible... More

The hotel has gone through a facelift in recent years and the comfortable rooms are a satisfying blend of modern decor and retained features. The hotel seems to rely on its bar service while the restaurant was seemingly in darkness throughout the evening. The bar food was at best mediocre and the only obvious weak aspect of an otherwise enjoyable... More

The Royal Hotel is in a great location with a reasonably priced public car park right outside which makes it the most user friendly seafront hotel/B&B in Deal. However, the hotel is a bit creaky and tired and hugely overpriced (at £115 for a double room inc breakfast !!) The decor is ok, the bedroom was a decent size with... More

I haven't stayed at the hotel so cannot comment on the rooms and service. A friend and I went for lunch in the bar a couple of weeks ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. The bar had a relaxing atmophere, the sandwiches were good and the view was great.

This old hotel is right on the beach in Deal overlooking the pier and on a minute from the shops.. My wife and I had known the hotel for 40 years but had not stayed there. We were given a large room with great sea views. Excellent bathroom and bed. We were there during a very cold period and although... More

We have just enjoyed a night in the Clarence Room which was delightful. The room has a lovely sea view and was also nicely decorated. All the staff at the hotel were very friendly from the staff on reception to those that served in the Boathouse. We decided to eat in the bar as it had lovely sea views. The... More
