We had a lovely stay at this hotel. It’s in a beautiful location with stunning views. The breakfast was delicious, and the staff were all friendly and welcoming throughout our visit. The only downside was that our room was very hot. Although two fans were provided, it was still difficult to sleep comfortably. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would happily return.

We love the quality and finish on the recent upgrade to the hotel - the room was very clean, well appointed and fabulous. Staff were very helpful and breakfast was superb. My only negatives are that there was no means of contacting reception from the room and there was no notepad/pen, which ironically I needed.

We were a little anxious about the stairs to our room, but when we saw the view it was worth it! But be aware, it is an old building and quirky, some low ceilings in bathrooms. Breakfast was great. Location is the best with bus stop nearby. Beds very comfy and room recently renovated. Had a delightful maid who put smiles on our faces (young with red hair, sorry don't have name, give her a raise!)

Wonderful character hotel on waterfront with amazing history. Rooms well furnished and extremely comfortable beds. Staff were very friendly and helpful and the kitchen provided an excellent vegan breakfast as well. Only drawback is lack of dedicated parking which was fine in the off-season (winter) but would definitely become a challenge when the town is busy in summer.

6/10 Okay

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Our stay at the Royal Castle was OK, the fact we could not open a window in our room made sleeping difficult duringthe hot wearher,despite a fan which merely moved the warm air. Also the fact that Dartmouth town does not have any option to park a car for a couple of days without having to move parking spaces throughout the day, this has probably swayed us into not visiting Dartmouth again.
