"Liked it had all necessary amenities Just no evening food available at all during our stay. Basic accommodation but good"

"Excellent hotel It's gets a bit hot for some rooms with no air con Facilities top notch "

"Was a pleasant stay. Nice clean rooms with lovely bathroom. Great location "

"Parking is horrible in the streets, and the car park itself is small at £15 per day pricey. Walk to beach is why we stay here, staff are all young but very polite. Building was once grand, a little jaded now, but clean and tidy, we have been regulars for s verbal years now."

"Beautiful reception areas with comfortable seating. Very welcoming. Walkable to the prom and through the Bournemouth park and back."

"Lovely property with attentive staff in great location."

"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!"

"Had a very pleasant stay"
