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.

Lovely hotel!

The staff were extremely welcoming and friendly nothing was too much trouble. Our bed was a little hard but we asked if they had a mattress topper and they were more than happy to oblige. It’s brilliantly situated to walk to the beach and the shops and would definitely stay again. Thank you for a lovely stay for our 26th wedding anniversary!

An excellent if rather quirky hotel with lots of character and a very interesting history. A superb upstairs lounge, a swimming pool, parking for most cars. Good updated bathroom in our room. Great location just metres away from the esplanade but in a quiet location. Don't expect everything to go smoothly, it won't! But if you want somewhere unusual and with a good standard and great location do stay here. Staff are very welcoming and friendly.

The Duke.

Wonderfully close to the promenade and the pretty town of Sidmouth. Most people had a cooked breakfast rather the a basic continental. Requests are available such as yoghurt. Lovely gardens with plenty of seating scattered around. Car parking a bit tight. We had the Duke Room which I would highly recommend. Excellent en-suite but a bit of scrub “under the rim on the toilet” required. We look forward to going again.

Had a very nice few days at the Royal Glen, very quiet and peaceful. Breakfast was excellent as were the evening meals. Quite an old building, so a few creaks, but who wouldn't at that age! Very smart up to date bathroom. Staff were excellent and very helpful. Car park was a little bit snug. Despite having visited Sidmouth, which I love, on more occasions than it is possible to count, I have never stayed at the Royal Glen before, but will definitely be back to stay again. Also, bus to Exeter was only £2.00! unbelievable, you cannot buy a lot for £2.00 these days!!

In a venerable building such as this, there are always sure to be minor defects - creaking floorboards above us was one - but that didn't detract from a really nice stay in the spacious Duke room. The staff were excellent - courteous and always helpful - especially the new manager and his wife - and the only real problem was finding and getting into a suitable parking space for a reasonably large family car (BMW 3 series) - in the end, we parked overnight on the road on one occasion. I'm not a swimmer (and had hoped for a jacuzzi - but there isn't one) - but my wife is, though the pool wasn't really deep enough, she said. There were two false fire-alarms at none too convenient times, triggered, we were told by a hair dryer and an over-sensitive alarm sensor. I ngather this is being sorted.... The food was good (Dinner was a little too expensive, we felt) and breakfast was good, apart from the level of some of the background music, which they didn't seem willing, or able, to turn down. A most enjoyable stay, and full marks to a hotel that lays on coffee and mints in the evenings for its guests - lovely to find that after a long day out. We'll hope to return, and thank you to all at the Royal Glen.

We do love Sidmouth and the location of the Royal GLEN located short walk on the main shopping area and the beach. I have recently had a replacement knee operation and needed crutches to move around. No help was given by the staff. We stay just two nights and had our evening meal in the hotel, both nights. We did make one or two requests for evening meal to have any added sauces to come in a separate jug, but this was not done. We had the duck and although there was plenty of meat, the sauce was extremely sweet and it was difficult to get a piece of meat without this added sweetness. We also found that the elderly server gentleman, somewhat abrupt, and misinformed about kitchen procedures. On one particular morning, I asked for smoked salmon and scrambled egg, and when it came, because they had put the plate underneath the heated warming station, the smoke salmon was cooked. I asked the server if this was a normal practice as part of this particular dish, and he said yes, of course, we always serve it like that! On another occasion at dinner, the same thing occurred, where my meal was put under the warming station. Not only were the French beans shrivelled and crispy, but the mash potato had an obvious skin on the top where it had effectively been cooked again. On the second morning, breakfast was a different affair. Entirely we had a European server who couldn't do enough for us, and we thank you for this and left a tip accordingly.

Nice hotel, great location.

We had a lovely stay at the Royal Glen. I have stayed at this hotel before and it was lovely then too. We were able to park at the hotel with no problems. We chose to go out for all meals to get to enjoy the town more and we really didn’t use the room much just for sleeping and getting ready to go out again. It was busy as it was the end of the season. Seems to be a popular place to stay.

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.
