I wouldn’t come back

This hotel is old which we don’t mind. It was right on the beach but our view was very limited. It was fairly clean. Everything was squeaky and noisy: the doors, the floor, the beds. The windows opened a sliver and it was really hot, no fans or any air flow. The beds were very uncomfortable. The toilet seat was the wrong size or not fitted properly and wouldn’t flush well( but that might be “English” thing). There is no free parking nearby. The check-in was good. The staff friendly. The breakfast was decent.

A beautiful and understated hotel on Deal beach with a lovely bar, lots of history, clean, friendly staff, right near the pier & dog friendly. Superb place and I'll be returning for sure.

Although we only stayed one night we were very impressed with this lovely old hotel. The room we stayed in was spacious, clean and well presented. The hotel could not be better placed in the lovely town of Deal!

Excellent location for the town and seafront. It’s an old building so has a lot of history/character, but can be a bit creaky … Adjacent road traffic can be noisy from time to time. Staff attentive, both breakfast and dinner tasty and offer decent choice and value

We stayed one night in a family room, which was much nicer than the photos! Very spacious with comfy beds and a modern bathroom. It was sufficiently clean and the tea/coffee station was well stocked. One little niggle is that the room is rather warm so the duvets were a bit heavy for summer, but we managed. We would absolutely return!

Highly recommended.

Really lovely, friendly hotel with excellent breakfast. Room was large and clean. Could not fault it. Only thing to know is that the nearby parking is pay-parking provided by the council, but that isn't the hotel's fault. Staff were particularly welcoming, exactly what you need when you have been travelling for a long time.

Lovely place

The hotel is lovely . The room we booked was large , very clean and overlooked the sea . Excellent rooms . But the service was less than impressive . The lady who served us at breakfast was friendly , but rather curt . Gave us the feeling she didn’t want us there and so breakfast was normally very rushed - eat and run !

Lovely staff, very dated.

The hotel looks fantastic and is in a great location. Staff were great too. However, I booked a twin room and ended up with 1 single bed? Too tired after a 6 hour drive to argue so left until returning. Very dated inside, would not recommend unless you're desperate.

Deal weekend break.

We recently had a very enjoyable stay at the Royal Hotel Deal. We stayed from Friday to Monday in the Churchill family room. Can honestly say it was one of if not the largest family rooms we have stayed in. The room was clean and tidy with side sea view. There was small instances of wear and tear in the room but nothing to complain about. The only drawback is no a/c and the room got quite warm. A fan is provided which helps. Breakfast was excellent with buffet cereals, fruits pastries and juices. Main breakfast is freshly cooked to order with good options. Restaurant food in evening was first class. Although we only ate in one night as wanted to try other options in Deal. It was our first visit to Deal and really loved it. There is a council car park next to hotel which charges a reasonable £10 per 24 hours. The hotel is situated in a fantastic location right on the beach. It was my wifes birthday so i asked if flowers could be put in room. They said they could get from local florist. The bouquet provided was excellent for very reasonable price £25. We would definitely revisit this hotel.
