Four night break

A four night stay. Check in was welcoming, room fine, a great shower. Continental breakfast was adequate and had the option of a cooked breakfast on the last morning. Dinner service was fine. The drawing room on the first floor to relax, chill and read our books was very comfortable and watch the sea down the road.

Breakfast was very filling with lots of options. Service was quick and staff very friendly and attentive. Room was older, as expected, but a little small for moving about with our suitcases. Building was lovely inside and brought us back to a previous gentler era. So happy to have safe, free parking next to the building. The only thing that I would have liked would have been a cloth on the table for evening dining. This would have made the evening more special for our anniversary dinner.

This charming traditional hotel was clean, comfortable and in an excellent location, only 3 mins walk to the seafront. Our room was spacious and the hotel staff were friendly and helpful. Sidmouth itself is a delightful English seaside town with plenty to see and do, eg walking options a plenty, repertory theatre, open air concerts in the seafront gardens and a variety of exhibitions.

Disliked: Amenities
Rooms are very tired. Smell of damp. No wine, and no beer on draft which meant you had to go out. Someone else mentioned that the lift was not very good. Staff were very attentive though and breakfast was good.

Disappointing.

For: room very clean, bathroom fairly modern, staff very friendly. Very short distance to seafront. Common rooms had a friendly atmosphere. Didnt sample food/bar. Against: tired & old fashioned room decor. Very hard bed & pillows. The pool picture was misleading: pool small & shallow & felt miserable with nowhere to relax. Sorry to say this but the truth.

Great mini break in Sidmouth, returning to the Royal Glen after a previous stay earlier in the year. Very much a traditional seaside hotel with an excellent breakfast and decent sized rooms. Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful and we will definitely return.

Lovely convenient hotel with some history

Lovely building and very convenient for sea front and shops, yet quiet. Great breakfast, good choices. Fantastic room and comfortable bed. Staff very helpful and friendly. Sadly pool was closed for servicing (we should have checked beforehand) but it didn't detract from our stay. Would stay at this hotel again if visiting the area.
