Lovely room with sea view, the breakfast was great and a good ambience
Arthur, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This hotel is in an excellent position yards from the beach & very close to the centre of St Leonards. The breakfast is excellent value for money with a wide selection of hot & cold options. I would have expected to find an ironing board & iron in the room.

Sea view

The hotel was going through a external facelift...from the completed section it will look super when it's all done. The interior is historic and very attractive. Our room was massive and had a marvellous sea view. Very clean and comfortable.

A nice traditional hotel with a lot of history. In need of freshening up, but staff are friendly and the rooms are well kept

Brilliant location for seafront, big and comfortable room. beautiful building if somewhat old fashioned and could do with a lick of paint. Minimal parking but staff all lovely, and our stay was well priced. Good breakfast too!
Timothy, 1-night trip

An average stay for a £140 suite

The stay could have been better. Booked a suite but surprised there was no fan. When asked for it, the fans conditioned was not functioning well. No fridge and the shower was decent. Could have been better for 140 quid a night.

Could do better

We booked a twin bed room but there was only one set of towels and one set of toiletries and even one biscuit (not bothered about this!!) The electronic key did not work and had to be changed. Staff very helpful however
Carole, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Older hotel in need of refurbishment. Staff was minimal, but very friendly and helpful. Off-season so not a lot of activity. Hotel was otherwise quiet and everything worked.
George, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice spacious room. It was hot and there was no air condtioning or fans. Maybe fans could be provided in hot weather
Paula, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good hotel, the reception staff very friendly and helpful. Our room was large and clean, with excellent shower. Had also been recently decorated so felt clean and fresh. Car parking is available around the side streets. Good transport to Bexhill by bus or train, and a short walk along the promenade to Hastings old town. Would stay again.
Mark, 1-night trip

The staff make it good

We stayed for one night (visiting friends who live locally) and, while the Royal Victoria decor may be passed its best/would benefit from some refurbishment, the staff were excellent & the room clean & comfortable. We will stay again.
Andrew, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We loved the music played throughout great ambiance, size of the rooms was fabulous and well presented. Food available was great across the day parts breakfast and evening meal was delicious. Real selling point is the lovely afternoon tea this was splendid. No issues with the property our stay was awesome. Thank you

Needs a new bit of life into the decor ! No glasses or mugs in bathroom for teeth cleaning . No warning of step inside the door of our room ‘TRIP HAZARD ‘ big time !
Kim, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Had a very nice stay for 2 nights at the royal Victoria.beautiful building but could do with a little updating. Disappointed that scaffolding outside windows without pre warning. Breakfast was self serve but waiting times for replenishing hot food and toasting machine didn't toast so had to queue for one tiny toaster. It meant one element of breakfast always got cold. The staff were very helpful though but could do with more at breakfast time. Also disappointed as sat in piano bar 2 nights and no one played it!
Lorraine, 2-night trip

Dated hotel - needs more care

Communal spaces were dirty and smelly, staircases and lift too. Inside the room was much cleaner and nicer though... bar staff wasn't attentive or much helpful. Dry plants in the firts floor lobby looked neglected too.
Joanna, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A great classic.

A lovely unspoilt hotel which still has all its classic features and isn’t a bland, generic place. Breakfast is one of the best I’ve had in awhile. It all tasted fresh and didn’t look like it had been sitting around for hours.
