Very friendly and efficient checkin. Spacious clean room with very comfortable bed. No AC but fan provided in room due to warm weather. Very good cooked breakfast made to order, Excellent dinner in fine dining restraurant.
Really enjoyed my stay. From start to end it was truly amazing and such a issue-free experience. The staff was all very kind, helpful and professional. Breakfast was a delight every morning and the pool in the afternoon was the cherry on top. The hotel is very charming and carries a relaxed feel. The location was by far my favourite in the whole island.
Really nice hotel and we really enjoyed relaxing in the beautiful gardens / pool area, however our room was directly above a very noisy kitchen fan which started (and woke us up) before 6.30am and didn’t turn off until 9.30pm.

Great place, a very old property that needs serious money spent on it. The gardens are beautifully maintained. We had two breakfasts and an evening meal, the restaurant was like a geriatric ward, I'm 67 and I reckon I was the youngest there, luckily the staff are (I'm sure) trained in caring for the elderly
It's not as grand as you might think

Lovely clean space, stylishly decorated, helpful and friendly staff
Great site, lovely views, excellent staff and excellent food. Because of its age there were some more modern touches needed. The gardens were well looked after & had beautiful flowers. Our bathroom shower needed some modernisation. Very close to the seafront and reasonable close to the town. The outdoor swimming pool looked very nice.

Food great clean comfortable beautiful gardens lovely staff
I had a wonderful stay at The Royal Hotel. It’s a charming, elegant property with beautiful grounds and a perfect location. The atmosphere is calm and refined, and the staff were consistently pleasant, friendly, and eager to help.
My room was larger than expected, with a very comfortable king‑sized bed. Some parts of the décor are a little worn, but in a way that feels more like gentle ageing than neglect — it doesn’t take away from the hotel’s character at all.
On one day the hotel was clearly short‑staffed and the team were under pressure, but they handled it admirably. Seeing how hard they were working made it easy to be patient.
A beautiful hotel with real charm.

Lovely staff. Room nicely appointed. Hotel a bit dated in places but clean and service was next to none!
From the moment I arrived & walked into the large, light, open foyer I felt comfortable. Lovely Welcome from Molly on Reception, & an immediate answer to my first Question? The Hotel Car Park across the road was already full, where do I go?
I checked in, my bags were unloaded & taken to my room, & I parked my car in the Hotel's 2nd car park, just round the corner.
I felt very at ease throughout my stay. Room 8 looked over the gardens, newly refurbished bathroom, shower only. Very comfortable bed, easy access to the town, 5mins flat walk, the beach 8mins, all down hill. Every member of Staff Exceptional, nothing was too much trouble. Fabulous choices at Breakfast, in a spacious room, with high ceilings, over looking the gardens.
Lovely setting for the Swimming pool, comfortable sunbeds, also plenty of tables & chairs to sit outside in the gardens.
Any revisit to the IOW, I know where I'll be staying.
Very comfortable hotel which has elegant gentility which we hope is preserved by the future owners. The staff were efficient and friendly. Enjoyed our stay so would thoroughly recommend this hotel
