The Royal Bath Hotel is often praised for its excellent location, being just a short walk, often described as two minutes, from the beach and close to the Pavilion. Many guests appreciate the spacious rooms, some of which offer lovely sea views. The well-maintained gardens are frequently mentioned as a relaxing and beautiful feature, and the buffet breakfast and dinner are considered great, with fresh food constantly available; however, a few guests have noted that some rooms could benefit from refurbishment.

A mixed experience, to put it mildly

pretty gardenrunning toilethot room
The garden out back was quite pretty.
My room was not clean. It was rather disappointing. The toilet kept running, and even after I told the front desk, nothing happened (seriously!). It was very hot in the room, an additional annoyance.

The location was very good! it was only a few minutes to the sea front. The beds and bedding were REALLY comfortable! I also loved the oldy worldly feel and decor. It added a tender touch.
I could not pull up to the entrance easily with my disabled mother. The hotel is now cashless, DISGUSTING. This affected many people. Some don't have cards and rely on cash.
