Looked lovely in reception area, pleasant girl at check in so all great until we went into our allocated room. The bed was as the previous occupants had left it, bedding all astray, pillows still dented where there heads had been. Cups still dirty with coffee drips down outside of cups. Their dirty towels in the bath. We didn't look... More

This hotel is in need of refurbishment, particularly where the window are concerned, but look at the price you are being charged and you will find this hotel gives real value for money. The rooms are comfortable our bed was very good and we had a good nights sleep, the bathroom was small, but how many people do you want... More

Turned up after a lovely day in Ilfracombe and was mortified when I saw the monstrosity of the hotel, thought to myself it can't be that bad on the inside. To my horror it was far worse, I swear its hasn't been updated since the 60's. However there is a very nice bar on the corner which certainly helps you... More

We only stayed one night so perhaps we were given a not so nice room. It was dated, overlooked the car park. TV had no remote so had to fiddle a lot. Shower was difficult to get a constant flow of warm water. The bed was one of the worst we had ever had in a hotel - the mattress... More

I have long been guided by trip advisor and its great service and so I am naturally annoyed when people give bogus experiences about hotels to get even over something or other. That is exactly the case with the Royal Hotel Woolacombe. I have been a coach driver in my life for many years, now retired, and have seen good... More

This is a very tired hotel in dire need if a refurbishment. I paid travelodge prices but the place didn't even meet those standards. The bathroom floor was black but it was hard to know if this was cleanliness or just worn out. Staff were friendly but failed to make the alarm call that reception had agreed so I'm not... More

I must admit when we arrived at hotel I didn't know quite what to expect but was pleasantly surprised and didn't understand why all the negative reviews... More
