My stay started off beautifully, honestly couldn't have asked for a better check-in. Paul, the dapper gent with the soothing voice and vibe, made me feel instantly looked after. Talk about a safe place e. The room was exactly as shown in the pictures and had everything I needed for my stay. I even grabbed a cheeky pint at the bar, didn't catch the woman's name (that's on me), but she was an absolute laugh and made me feel welcome. All in all, At... and did I mention Paul?!

Lovely hotel, friendly staff, very nice room and excellent food. Great breakfast and evening meal was fantastic. Was a little slow to get food in the evening but well worth the wait and others I chatted to in restaurant agreed.

The Royal Hotel was excellent and we would certainly recommend staying there. The food was very good at dinner & snack lunch. Breakfast was fine for us and we would have liked a better fruit collection. More brochures of surrounding places to visit would be helpful.

The Royal is in a great location just off the Tarka Trail a short walk across the bridge into Bideford. I was staying in a Standard Room. I booked a single but was upgraded to a double which was a nice surprise. The hotel is currently undergoing a refurbishment - it didn't interfere with my stay. My room was dated - the bathroom wasn't great it was falling apart and the shower had extremely poor water pressure. My room is one of the ones which is yet to be refurbished. The bed was very comfortable. I look forward to coming back once the rooms have been upgraded to experience the place again. The staff made me feel extremely welcome. Everyone who I engaged with were warm and friendly and I got the feeling they loved working at the hotel and were excited for its future.

I was allocated a room in the attic, through atiny door to my room, it was very cold upon arrival, so turned on the heater endedx up getting into beed fully clothed to warm up ,. It was ok, but felt as though i had been allocated the bulk head room as you would on a plane as a punishment! At 6.20am the staff arrived, the house keeping room was next door to my room. I was the only room onthis hsrry potter corridor and room. The staff were up and down this corridor doirs opening ,closing for the next two hours! What did i do to be allocated this room? £90 i dont think so ! Never again!

Terrible - extremely loud party in the lounge which was going to go on until midnight. We were never informed about this, even when checking in. We left at 10pm and demanded a refund. Ended up having to book in to the local travel lodge.

Just come home from a short stay with my daughter at The Royal Hotel. We were upgraded to a lovely suite when we arrived. The receptionist was very friendly and helpful.The room was amazing and very clean. I had the best night sleep. There was a kettle in the room, along with tea, coffee, hot chocolate and biscuits, which My daughter loved. We dined in the restaurant at dinner time. The food was lovely. So much to choose from. We also had breakfast which I cannot fault. The staff that served us were very friendly and worked really hard. There was a little car park opposite the hotel which was free. There were quite a few spaces when we arrived. We really enjoyed our stay even though it was very short. We will def return to the hotel in the future.

We always find hotel rooms too hot, so take the duvet out of its cover and just use the cover. After our return at the end of our first full day, my heart sank as I though the housekeeping team had re-bagged it. However, n closer inspection whilst they had done just that, they also gave us another duvet cover so that the duvet could stay covered up. All the toiletries were very nice and refillable large bottles, not the small single use ones. Breakfast was excellent if a little pricey. £16.50 for full English.

Comfortable enough. Bed was a small double. Reception was ok, but not terribly interested. Servers for dinner tried hard, but our stay was overshadowed by the wedding taking place.
