All in all a pleasant stay in a well appointed hotel which clearly caters for the elderly very well. Close to the beach and to the transport hub and land train pick up and drop off points is a major benefit.

Liked: Room comfort
Sea view room was good, we only booked room only but decided to have breakfast which was £10. When we sat down the lady came over and quite rudely pointed out that our breakfast wasn’t included and that we’d have to pay the reception the cost of the breakfast, which of course is standard when you check out. The way they made us feel was like we were going to do a bunk without paying. As for the breakfast it was by far the worst breakfast I’ve ever experienced.

DON'T STAY AT THE ROYAL HOTEL, IT IS A B&B ONLY

Selected this hotel as wanted to take my 82 year old mother to somewhere that had a restaurant so we could eat in if required, was shocked to find that even though we were residents that they could not serve us any evening meals in the restaurant as were fully booked with a resident coach party. This hotel should be advertised as a b&b as that is all it is and would have been cheaper to stay somewhere else with the same facilities offered. Breakfast was passable but not a great selection and buffet not replenished so had to ask for bowls, butter etc. Would not recommend or stay here again, booked an evening meal at the nearby Rex hotel which was excellent and the staff actually wanted to serve you.

Overall value for noney

Superb location next to the beach shops and restaurants. The hotel was a bit tired and dated but the room although creaky was clean and adequate. Breakfast was ok warm but considering it was included with the room price, good value. Parking was difficult to find however we found a space at the rear for £6 a day.

Everything was lovely. Our only issue was the state of the pillows... They were so bad that we went and bought a new one for each of us.

Royal stay

We enjoyed our stay but we found our room cold as there was a major draft from the victorian window . Not sure if anything can be done about that . I was concerned that our room door did not shut properly . Just needs a minor adjustment and also the fire door on the top of the stairs did not shut fully. Just a couple of small things that need adressing . Other than that we had a brilliant stay . We love weymouth and often come for the day .lots to keep u busy in Weymouth but also surrounding area.lots to visit...... The hotel is lovely and we enjoyed it.Think the breakfast should include croissants and pastries .

Our Weymouth Trip

We arrived early so stowed our bags around reception area. The receptionist was helpful with a dry sense of humour. When we returned there was a different receptionist on duty who was not as helpful or friendly but it didn’t spoil our first day in Weymouth. The Superior Room was spacious and on the whole, very clean. It had an en-suite with a separate toilet area. The window and blind looked like it hasn’t been cleaned for a while yet we were comfortable with the room. We had tea and coffee facilities with a coffee maker too. There was no phone in the room to contact reception but apart from requiring extra coffee pods we didn’t need anything else anyway. The breakfast was sufficient and the staff in the restaurant were very helpful indeed. The hotel itself is just a four minute walk from the train station and is perfectly placed on the promenade for nearby shops and restaurants should you require them. We will definitely be back as we thoroughly enjoyed our first visit to Weymouth and we would recommend this hotel too.

Good value but not flawless

Room was comfortable, clean and warm. Issues with bathroom plumbing- I had to adjust ballcock to stop significant overspill from toilet tank, and toilet also blocked later in stay. Welcome at reception was not especially friendly. Overall, though, this was good value for money.
