Staff were friendly. Room was basic at best, cobwebs between furniture, mattress was a joke, whole hotel was freezing and the toilets had an electric pump needed to flush. This is extra fun when neighbours up to the loo half the night and it sounds like a plane takong off. Breakfast was ok wouldnt come back, though.

Liked: Cleanliness
We enjoyed our stay at the Royal Hotel. The location right on the seafront made it easy to enjoy walks and the views, and the staff were welcoming throughout our visit. Our room was comfortable and clean, and the hearty breakfast set us up well for the day. The hotel has a classic seaside charm, and it provided a pleasant base for exploring Whitley Bay and the surrounding area. Overall, it was a very good experience and we would be happy to stay again.
