A great little hotel two minutes from the beach and very close to the shops. Also very convenient for the coastal path I was staying in a single room which had all mod cons including a Bath! The staff in reception and at breakfast were very helpful. I will be back

Hotel is lovely. Parking isn’t great as everyone has already mentioned. Luckily we took our smaller car, but still tight. If you are lucky the top car park has some good spaces. We were lucky as our room was near fire exit which is open during the day. A few little tweaks in hotel would have made 5 * Evening menu limited too.

The hotel and staff where excellent, but we where quite disappointed that the swimming pool was not open and we had not been notified of this prior to booking. Car parking was limited and some parking areas difficult to access.

Lovely convenient hotel with some history

Lovely building and very convenient for sea front and shops, yet quiet. Great breakfast, good choices. Fantastic room and comfortable bed. Staff very helpful and friendly. Sadly pool was closed for servicing (we should have checked beforehand) but it didn't detract from our stay. Would stay at this hotel again if visiting the area.

Great mini break in Sidmouth, returning to the Royal Glen after a previous stay earlier in the year. Very much a traditional seaside hotel with an excellent breakfast and decent sized rooms. Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful and we will definitely return.
