Staff were welcoming and knowledgeable. The hotel is in an excellent location and was easy to get to using public transport. My son enjoyed the bunk beds in the family room and tea/coffee etc were replenished daily. The pool and jacuzzi were great.

8/10

It was a comfortable stay, but it looks like the hotel attracts a clientèle of a different age group. There were bingo nights and entertainment happening several nights during my stay. I really enjoyed using the pool but did not eat in.

6/10

The Norfolk Royale is a hotel that was once one of Bournemouth's most prestigious hotels but it has now lost it's sparkle and has faded into just another hotel. Upon checking in, I was advised the breakfast would be busy as they had a number of coach parties booked in. Almost all the guests were OAPs enjoying a trip to the coast. My room was a great size but very tired and in need of redecorating and updating. It was extremely noisy from the traffic until quite late. Strangely, the hotel didn't appear to have a restaurant so I was obliged to find dinner elsewhere. Breakfast was well managed by pleasant staff. My view is that the Norfolk Royale is not a hotel I would return to.

6/10

It’s a beautiful hotel at an amazing location. Loved the room and my favourite part about the stay was the pool and jacuzzi, just fab!! However, the breakfast was terrible- we were hoping for a buffet but they gave us a single plate of vegetarian breakfast- had very less options in food and it was very oily! Stay here however, have breakfast at a local cafe next door as there are many many options outside.

Hotel is having a refit at the moment, not a big problem . Hotels in need of a general overhaul, bits and pieces need doing in and around the rooms. Breakfast was ok.

1-night trip

10/10

Nice hotel, close to the centre and an easy walk to the beach. Very clean. A bit dated in areas - but nothing to worry about. Tip - if you are using the pool bring flip flops and a robe as the changing rooms are down some stairs and are a bit cold - this way yiu could just straight from/to your room.

Exceptionally clean. Room with everything you need. Beds very comfortable. Staff are amazing! So helpful, professional and friendly. Loved the swimming pool. Enjoyed the comfortable chairs and tea and gorgeous cake in the afternoon. Great barman with a fantastic sense of humour. Loved the Victorian architecture. Right next to everything eg shops, beautiful park, restaurants, the pier. Will definitely return. Highly recommended.

Lovely stay for an overnight visit. Very close to the high street. Is a little dated but this time of year it fit the season perfectly giving it a cosy winter feel. Room was spacious, had everything you’d need for a few days stay. Nice and quiet too
