Lovely and very helpful staff and their service is second to none and breakfast was excellent with attentive staff. However, the rooms stuck in time warp (late 80s to early 90s) and are in need of bringing them up to 21st century and maintenance also badly needed. In fact quite a few shabby items in the room such as plug stuck in basin sink, door handle to ensuite broken, and ancient electric heater badly burnt.

Toilet door wouldn't shut at all. So privessy not there. Floor uneven. Furniture and deco old. Extremely tied. Very noisy toilet. It smelt bad of mildue/old /stale. Bed uncomfortable. The cost of the stay was exstortunate for what you offer. No bar or place to relax. The whole building requires renovation.

Just a one night stay in the area. I only paid £41 for the night so didn’t expect too much. Perfect location for the sea front and Spanish City, town centre in easy walking distance. Rooms at the front will have a fabulous view when work is completed. Firstly the hotel is undergoing major renovations so looks a mess at the front - new bar and dining facilities planned. Inside it is very much on the old side but very clean from what I could see. Friendly and helpful staff. First class breakfast in terms of choice and quality. I would quite happily stay again.

Hotel is being refurbished at the front but my room at the backn was spotlessly clean with Tv and tea/coffe facilities. Breakfast in the morning starts at 6.30am which is great for those of us that are working

This was my third stay at The Royal. Staff are super friendly and it's over the road from a beautiful beach. Breakfast was great and my room was generally fine. My complaint is that the mattress was so soft and had a huge gap in the middle. Consequently I slept badly and woke with a sore back. I had a long drive the next day which was very frustrating.

Hi, l stayed for 2 weeks and found the staff to be fantastic, welcoming and always up for a chat, as am l :-) The breakfast was yum and set me up for the day. My room was always clean and no frills, did the job perfectly. The Hotel is situated in the middle of the bay, close to the Metro if your into walks - the beach is beautiful. I knew there were renovations going on during my booking, it didnt interfer or deter my booking. I look forward to returning to The Hotel on my next visit to Whitley Bay

Booked unaware of renovations.. bathrooms dirty and very tired rooms, dirty in grooves of dressing tables, shower cubicles and floors with years of use showing. No lounge to sit in just had to use bedroom when not out. Staff lovely felt quite sorry for them as complaints made directly to them. Front of hotel all boarded up.. wouldn’t have booked for 2 nights if had known. Breakfast was lovely though. That was a saving grace. I think a reduction in price should have been offered once arrived but just got told this is what we have and an apology. We had already paid upfront too. Very sad as it was a weekend we were looking forward too.

Lovely people, outdated facilities.
People were lovely and would do anything to help. Location is fantastic. However the rooms are simply outdated, stained carpets, old furnature etc. The beds were particularly bad, could tell the mattresses had been used for many many years by the permanent dips and lack of comfort.
