We had a side room with a Seaview, the room was extremely clean and decorated to a high standard. The shower was particularly invigorating and the water always hot. The grounds and sitting rooms were well furnished with a good selection of reading material to hand. The bar was very well stocked and all the barstaff were well trained and... more

This is possibly my favourite hotel in the world. It helps that Ventnor is one of my favourite places in the world, but the Royal is a little world all of its own. From the moment you turn into the drive, you enter a haven of calm and comfort. This is everything a seaside hotel ought to be. The beds... more

I stayed for three nights the food, ambience and level of service was first class. Reminded me of hotels of years gone by when service was paramount. My room was first class as was the decour and in fact everything was to a high standard. It is also pet friendly as I was able to bring my mini daschund with... more

Reminded me a little of Brideshead Revisted with its Edwardian style conservatory and decor. Lovely rooms, comfortable and cosy...but the Royal's crowning glory is its dining... superbly prepared and excellently presented and served. I heartily recommend a stay if only for the nostalgia !!! more

I've just returned home from having spent a long weekend at the Royal and found it a truly excellent experience. It was the first time me and my fiancée had stayed here and would highly recommend it to anyone. Our room was beautifully decorated and had a lovely view over the gardens and to the sea beyond....food was superb (featuring... more

Pleasant reception area and a friendly receptionist. Tatty - that was the main opinion with regard to the room. It had a sea view fortunately, but the carpet, general decor and bedspread were in need of a complete revamp. A couple of other rooms I checked after complaining about our allocated room had obviously just been decorated so were better.... more

A very well-kept and carefully presented hotel. Public areas are lovely, furniture is of high quality and the rooms and breakfasts are as one would expect from a hotel of this grade. Service impeccable, both from the reception staff and in the restaurant. Expensive, but very good. more

I have stayed in many hotels around the world, but this summer opted for a holiday closer to home and stumbled upon 'The Royal'. Quite simply one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in - and the food is out of this world. Polite staff with good manners, lovely room.... I could go on forever. Expensive but you... more
