Jul 29, 2008

I booked a room for one night at the Royal Beach even after reading the mixed reviews on herem as I was travelling down from Yorkshire for a concert in Southsea, and I have to say it was fantastic. I got a room for 55 pounds which had a seaview, large clean bathroom and lovely decor. Even though I booked... more

All rooms were refurbished in 2004-2006, when inspected both by the AA and BW this year ( mystery customer) for cleanliness we achieved top grades and in staff performance ie customer care 100%, I wonder if she did stay with us!

I stayed in the Royal Beach for three nights on a business trip in February. The hotel was paid for by my company, but I understand that a twin room like the one I stayed in costs between £65 and £125, depending on when you stay. The hotel is situated on the seafront in a rather run-down area, on a... more

The guest was in one of our four adjoining rooms (which now have double insulation)and quite correctly could be noisy depending on the other guests, the walls however are about a foot thick throughout the hotel and noise transference from other rooms is not a problem. The noisy nightclubs have now closed and are being developed into luxury appartments this...

Stayed for two nights whilst visiting family. I had pre-paid using a booking agent and managed to get a slightly better price than the standard rate. The hotel is right opposite the front at Southsea and easy to find. There is a car park at the rear, but it can be pretty right to manouvre when full and we were... more

May 16, 2008

We only stayed one night and it was one night too many. The hotel had 3 functions on and they were all playing loud music. When I rang reception and asked if we could be moved to a room that was quieter, they took 30 mins to arrange this and then sent us to a room with someone already in... more

Hotel was fine until I went to pay next morning. I gave in a Credit Card which they had swiped day before (For Guarantee) and they then gave me my receipt I was about to leave when I spotted the receptionist reading the receipt and entering my Card details in full onto a hotel database (The receipt had printed the... more

As was explained to the gentleman at the time, our system (now updated to fidelio) required the verification number to be entered on the system, once posted and verified the information was not saved as was shown to him on the printing of the receipt. He was and during the last four years the only person to complain.

We only stayed at this hotel for one night in a standard double room. The hotel is lovely and clean and the staff are friendly and approachable. I found it refeshing to find lots of English staff working in a UK hotel. The rooms are spacious and clean and comfortable, our room was at the back of the hotel and... more

Feb 21, 2008

We spent one night at this hotel and I really can't fault it. The spacious rooms include a TV and Tea and Coffee facilities, which we always find so useful. The bathroom was a little on the small side but clean, bright and fully stocked including large, fluffy towels. It's set on a beautiful location opposite the sea and not... more

Where to start....we were on holiday with our two small children during the heatwave in England. When we arrived at the hotel we were given a family room on the 4th floor - after carrying our luggage up to the room, we found the large windows that opened higher than my head - to also be sill level with the... more

My sister and I had a twin room at this hotel for an overnight stay on a Saturday night. Even though we were on the second floor, the wedding disco below (which apparently happens most Saturday nights through spring and summer) went on til 1am. No double glazing in our room meant that at 2am the nightclub on the pier... more
