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.

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.

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.

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!

We usually enjoy our stay at the Royal Victoria , however, this time the front of the building was covered in scaffolding. We booked a premier room with sea view, the only view we had from the room was through filthy glass, of builders rubbish and a mess of scaffolding. Impossible to see anything else. Of course we complained but there were no other rooms available. I have since written to the hotel manager and in fact the owner, no reply from either. I think that says a lot. Disgraceful .

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.

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.
