the breakfast was great...but that is it. If you decide to stay at this hotel, never stay in one that is overlooking high street, it is very noisy, and the noise was right up until 2am!!, with no way of blocking out the noise. The decor is very dated and tired, but the room was large. Good choice of coffee in room, and water was supplied.

The best hotel, opposite the best beach!

We stayed for 2 nights in the triple room and had the best time. Firstly the location is FAB! You couldn't get any closer to the beach. The room was comfy with a great sized bathroom. Lovely tea/coffee facilities in the room. The hotel staff were so friendly and nothing was too much trouble. We were celebrating my mums birthday and they decorated the room with a banner and we had a drinks voucher for the bar which was a lovely touch. The breakfast each day was perfect. So much choice with cold and hot foot available. My son has a diary allergy and they were very clear with what he could/couldn't have. The only slight downside is that there is no parking included and that there is no lift to the top floor. But we knew these before booking so it wasn't an issue for us.

Newly refurbished room with new very comfortable beds plus hard and a soft pillow. Only stayed one night so commenting on breakfast. It’s ground floor light airy space or sit outside. Choice of cereals, breads, pastries etc. plus great menu of cooked food. I wasn’t going to have anything hot but I was persuaded and it was made up of what I like and perfect.
Back of hotel which overlooks the beach. Very popular with queues to get in during music festival
View from room during music festival. Could sit upstairs and hear the bands.

Lovely bedroom with sea view and balcony. Friendly staff. Enjoyed the views from the beer garden. The only downside was that there were no long life milk sachets in the bedroom, unlike any other hotel room we have ever stayed in! Had to keep going down to reception to get a flask of milk which then very quickly went off and had to be thrown away!

Excellent seaside hotel

Very good stay at the Royal Albion. Very nice room recently redecorated. Good WiFi. Kettle and pod coffee machine. Lots of supplies for using these - coffee pods, tea bags and coffee bags. Very good bathroom with bath. We had a view over the high street in Broadstairs. Breakfast good - main hot dish and buffet dishes. We ate at the Royal Albion in the evening and had a very good meal.
