Royal Hotel Sheerness

Consistently praised for friendly staff and convenient location near Sheerness high street and beach. Guests appreciate delicious English breakfast and comfortable, clean rooms with cozy beds and ample amenities.

Stayed one night before the Chase the Sun cycling event. Friendly welcome, room on top floor which was fine. Bit rough around the edges but the bed was comfortable and the shower was great. Would stay again.

We booked a twin room at a cost of £63. We were given room 16 which was on the top floor. So why have I rated the stay at terrible. There is no reception. There is a phone number on the door which we tried to call and it never connected. You have to go into the pub which is next to the “reception” to check in. This not mentioned anywhere on the site There is NO parking. You can pay to park in the council car park or risk leaving your vehicle down a side road around the back of the hotel. The side road backs onto houses and is more of a dirt track than a road. My stay was on a Friday night. The pub had a disco which went onto way past 11pm. You then had the customers leaving and the inevitable fighting outside for another 30 minutes There was no plug in the bath. The bath panel was damaged as where the boards inside the shower cubicle and the rest of the bath The pop up plug in the sink did not work and the hot tap moved around when turned on. The mastic area behind the sink was very discoloured. During the night the sink made very loud “gurgling” noises. We got back to the hotel at 10 pm only to then realise that there were no towels! We tried to contact the number that was on the door where the reception once was, but again could not get through There are electrical extension cables plugged in to the TV and kettle. Neither showed any signs of being PAT tested. There were two bicycles chained to the bottom of the stairs. Good luck getting out in the event of a fire
