Great hotel in a great location. The staff were friendly and very helpful. Our room was very spacious as we upgraded to a four poster bedroom (room 120), but what we gained with having a great room we lost out on the view out of the bedroom window (limited to just a view of a flat roof). Would definitely go back to this hotel 👍

This was perfect for our needs, a Thursday night in Cardiff. Would definitely stay here again. Fantastic rooms, comfortable beds. Only after booking was I made aware that this hotel can be very noisy at the weekends - worth consider considering if you will be there on a Friday or Saturday night. It was wonderfully quiet on a Thursday night!

Great hotel. Have been coming for years for an annual birthday night out with a group of friends. Guy at reception was very friendly, especially as we were concerned we may not be able to park there as no space, but did manage to in the end. Hotel is great...not the most modern, no, but homely and rooms have always been spacious, clean and welcoming. The bar/club is great for a night out. Would definitely recommend. Very close to town centre and beach too. Well done Royal Exeter!

Ideal place to stay in Bournemouth for the sea front, conference centre, and theatre at a very fair price. Car park is not huge, so get there early to get a spot.

Liked: Amenities
Staff were extremely welcoming and helpful during our stay. Room felt a bit dated although we had a very big room with a comfortable bed. Bathroom could do with a curtain rather than a net curtain as when you have the light on at night you feel overlooked by neighbouring properties. Breakfast was delicious with a good choice and decent size. Parking was good and secure. Overall we had a great stay and would definitely return.
