Royal Victoria Hotel

We loved the size of our room and the sea views . Good choice of breakfast and nice dining room . Room service good . Beds made each day . Good room for small children . Parking spot next to hotel . We love staying in this hotel . It’s perfect for us . It’s not trying to be an up market hotel and the price reflects that .

“I was staying in Victoria Royal Hotel in many occasions while I had training in Hastings. The Hotel is located at the seafront and has a beautiful sea view bar lounge, dining and rooms. It’s a perfect and popular location for swimmers, joggers, cyclists and has a lovely promenade all along the seafront. There are plenty of free parking spaces at the back of the hotel and a lovely peaceful hidden garden. There are also yoga classes within the hotel for extra charge but there is no need to book, you can just walk in for your convenience and the classes are adapted to individual needs from complete beginners to more advanced. The hotel is decorated in a traditional Victorian style and the rooms are all very spacious with high ceilings. Always fresh crispy bedding (I had some issues with others B&B around Hastings in this matter) so now I always stay only here. Very polite and helpful staff. Lovely breakfast in the morning looking at the sea.”

Lovely old building but more could be made of it. We had an issue with our room but staff were happy to act on it and move us to a different room. This was an upgrade to a sea view, which we appreciated. I think it's a shame that this lovely old hotel isn't invested in fully, it looks and feels dated and shabby, but not in a good way. It could be amazing with a lick of paint/a good carpet clean/losing the horrid net curtains! It was comfortable, staff were welcoming and helpful, I would have liked to have had breakfast in the dining area as it looks out into the sea, but our itinerary didn't allow for that. I would recommend this hotel, but don't expect too much if you are used to the finer things in life. That said, I'd stay here again, as the staff were great and the en-suite bath was lovely and deep!

Loved the history associated with the hotel stunned it dates from the Victorian period, which is very remarkable and is in amazing condition considering its age. The room was very spacious and the beds were very comfortable making for a lovely night's sleep. The food in the restaurant was very delicious with a wide variety of food on offer and booking a table was very convenient and straightforward. The food at breakfast was self service so very easy to get what you wanted and also when you wanted at your own leisure and pace. The views from the room itself were amazing out to sea and some of the best of any hotel around. The staff were very pleasant and helpful making the stay all the more pleasant.

The breakfast was good but would have liked to have seen options for Vegetarians/Vegan on display or a board to ask for our vegetarian options. Plain yoghurt as well as there was only flavoured….peach and apricot was the only flavours. Location was absolutely lovely.
