Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Royal Hotel - Clacton On Sea enjoys a superb location near the pier and within easy reach of the coast for scenic walks. Many guests appreciated the inclusive breakfast, especially at the Greek restaurant next door, and those in the princess quarters were thrilled with their sea view and balcony overlooking the Wetherspoons. While most found the rooms comfortable and clean, some guests have mentioned the absence of fridges. Despite this, many find it a convenient spot to stay.

the staff were helpful with information.
i was given a first-floor room, but it had steps. this was despite me stating i needed a wheelchair-accessible room before i arrived. loud music continued late into the early hours. (it seems the website's claim of no late loud music on weekends isn't true.)
