Great Location
Stay in Whitley Bay each New Year and tried the Royal for a change. It's ok, comfortable, nice staff, comfortable clean room but a little dated. I would stay here again.

Liked: Staff & service
Staff were very good. Helpful and friendly. Breakfast was excellent. Bed comfy but room freezing cold as were the corridors. We were given an extra heater. Shower was mouldy. Rooms need refurbishing. Hope it’s not just the front being done.
Disgusting everything was wrong with it. And it’s a building site out front. needs to close down hopefully the works are to be carried on inside hotel.
I had to check out the following morning it was so bad. I stayed the first night as u spent 8 hours travelling.
Lovely, cosy B&B in an excellent central location on the promenade. Friendly and welcoming staff and a tasty breakfast included. Hotel is under renovation, but room was cosy and comfortable.
Enjoyable 2 night say in Whitley Bay.
Friendly staff.
Beachfront location.
Spacious single room
Great breakfast with lots of choice & fresh fruit.
Hope to return next year!
Many thanks 🙂
We were given a room that felt dirty, I asked to swap the staff obliged and were really attentive. The hotel is run down but undergoing refurbishments which are really needed, the area is lovely the staff are great but the hotel itself is in dire need of a clean and refurb, not sure if we would go back as there are other options in the area that look much nicer

All staff very helpful. Breakfast very good. Property very worn. Bathroom was appalling.
The room was clean and tidy and lucky for me the room was fairly noise free. As I was playing in a chess Congress which was over the weekend.i could not fault the staff as they were very friendly and outgoing.Breakfast was very good and have not had any other issues . Well done Team as I had a nice relaxed stay.

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.
