We enjoyed our stay at the Royal Hotel. The location right on the seafront made it easy to enjoy walks and the views, and the staff were welcoming throughout our visit. Our room was comfortable and clean, and the hearty breakfast set us up well for the day. The hotel has a classic seaside charm, and it provided a pleasant base for exploring Whitley Bay and the surrounding area. Overall, it was a very good experience and we would be happy to stay again.
Always an enjoyable stay. Super friendly and welcoming. Always sleep so well here and to wake up to a lovely breakfast. The fact the beach front is directly opposite is wonderful.
