The Royal Hotel is on the seafront in Whitley Bay and feels like an old fashioned seaside boarding house. I really enjoyed my stay.

Room was well overdue a refurb but could see that a lot of work is being done to the hotel so it will be lovely. Breakfast was great as were all the staff. It was great value but with my room I definitely got what I paid for. Would definitely stay again when looking for a cheap base in the area

I had a nice stay thanks to the amazing team and great breakfast! It was a bit of a shame about the dust and noise from the renovations, but I’d definitely give it another go once the upgrades are finished.
