Staff & breakfast excellent. Room was very clean but it was very hot and the drains smelt at times. This severely impacted my sleep.

My rating is purely based on that, suspect if i went when it was cooler it would be different.

One easy thing to help would be for the windows to be opened fully.

We had a lovely stay at this hotel. It’s in a beautiful location with stunning views. The breakfast was delicious, and the staff were all friendly and welcoming throughout our visit. The only downside was that our room was very hot. Although two fans were provided, it was still difficult to sleep comfortably. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would happily return.

This hotel does not have any air conditioning despite what it advertises. We deliberately booked this hotel for the AC given we were travelling during the heatwave with a baby who suffers from bad heat rash. On arrival we were given one fan. The window barely opened for safety reasons. When we complained we were told that they consider AC to mean fan. This is incredibly untrue, misleading and ruined what was otherwise a wonderful stay.

We love the quality and finish on the recent upgrade to the hotel - the room was very clean, well appointed and fabulous. Staff were very helpful and breakfast was superb.

My only negatives are that there was no means of contacting reception from the room and there was no notepad/pen, which ironically I needed.

Our stay at the Royal Castle was OK, the fact we could not open a window in our room made sleeping difficult duringthe hot wearher,despite a fan which merely moved the warm air.
Also the fact that Dartmouth town does not have any option to park a car for a couple of days without having to move parking spaces throughout the day, this has probably swayed us into not visiting Dartmouth again.

We were a little anxious about the stairs to our room, but when we saw the view it was worth it! But be aware, it is an old building and quirky, some low ceilings in bathrooms. Breakfast was great. Location is the best with bus stop nearby. Beds very comfy and room recently renovated. Had a delightful maid who put smiles on our faces (young with red hair, sorry don't have name, give her a raise!)

The staff and service were excellent. My main problem was I kept hitting my head on the slopping ceiling when using the bathroom. Food was good but the Chicken Curry on the first night contained very little Chicken. However the Lamb and Pork dishes were excellent. I also enjoyed the Proper Job IPA reduced alcohol on draught. Overall a relaxing holiday for my wife and I. We will be back.

Lovely place to stay in the heart of Dartmouth. We went for a Premium Double room overlooking the little harbour, a little bit more expensive, but worth it for the views out over the river, which we could enjoy if the weather wasn't great. As it was, we were lucky, and spent most of our stay out walking. There were a lot of steps up to the bedrooms, but it's an old building...
Very helpful 'receptionist' who seemed to be there all the time... and knew how to sort out every problem...
Great breakfast with a good choice of veggie and non veggie dishes. Staff were very helpful and friendly (when not discussing what they were going to do after work...). also could have done without the pop music one morning..
Parking was fine, and free... but after May 1st it becomes difficult with restrictions everywhere....
Only blemish? The evening meals seem to revolve around the standard St Austell Brewery menu, which I don't find very inspiring for a hotel of this standard? The Sunday roast featured roast potatoes that felt like they had been roasted days earlier...

The redesign of the building is lovely, and we were really looking forward to our stay but it did not quite go to plan. Our room was next to the air vent for the kitchen which was extremely noisy, as were the kitchen deliveries during the night. The restaurant served my pregnant wife a meal with an alcoholic relish despite us checking it with them beforehand several times. The manager denied this the next day until we showed him a photograph! We are trying to support local pubs and hotels but we would not stay here again.

We stayed four nights in February and paid a bit extra for one of the rooms at the front - and did not regret it. The only snag was the room was on the third floor and there is no lift; however, the ever-helpful staff were there to assist with the luggage. The 400 year-old character staircase and extensive gallery made the exertion worthwhile!
The room was beautifully equipped and decorated with a huge bed and comfortable chairs and settee and a window where you could enjoy the ever-changing view. It was wet and cold outside but the room was always cosy and the only problem we had was the mystifying modern heating control on the en-suite radiator!
We ate in the first floor restaurant which enjoyed views across the Dart and had a wide choice for breakfast and evening meals. Here the staff were welcoming, attentive and engaging, as were the house-keepers and reception. In fact it was the staff which made our stay such a pleasure.

Wonderful character hotel on waterfront with amazing history. Rooms well furnished and extremely comfortable beds. Staff were very friendly and helpful and the kitchen provided an excellent vegan breakfast as well. Only drawback is lack of dedicated parking which was fine in the off-season (winter) but would definitely become a challenge when the town is busy in summer.

Couldn’t have window open as it was very noisy (boiler, air con or extraction system) and air con was noisy too, so not good for a relaxing lay in! Bathroom needed decent repairs/silicone and some bleach around the taps! Breakfast coffee weak. It wasn’t worth the money.

Ideal location in centre of Dartmouth

This hotel is located in an ideal location in the centre of Dartmouth. The staff were particularly helpful and pleasant. The room was a bit dated and tired but clean, the only window was looking inward over the internal courtyard and it did get a bit stuffy late at night but aircon is available. The breakfast was good and the restaurant has a nice view overlooking the harbour. No parking but the park and ride drops you 100m from the hotel so not a problem.

Nice but ....

Great location, chacterful old building, with excellent service. However, we stayed in a family room which was a bit shabby and needed an update. e.g the toilet roll holder was hanging off the wall, the door lock was temperamental, and the single bed was rickety. We enjoyed our overnight stay but wouldn't have wanted to stay longer.

Weekend away!

We really enjoyed our stay for my partners birthday. Location of the hotel was fantastic and close to local amenities. Staff were friendly, helpful and attentive. The breakfasts were delicious with lots of choice from a full english, eggs benedict, fresh fruit, cereals etc, all good quality. The room was tidy and clean, some areas were worn but that’s expected. We stayed in room 29, only criticism is the room could have been organised differently but other than that it was lovely. We loved the character of the building, and I can imagine in the summer it would be gorgeous. We will definitely come back again!

Overall our stay was very pleasant, staff were very friendly and our room was comfortable. On the 3 nights we stayed, we found the breakfast to be unacceptable. On the first morning, some of the items were cold, ie beans and mushrooms. On the second morning we did change our choice and mentioned to the lovely lady that if possible can our food be hot, it was warn. On our final morning, we waited 1 hour for our food be served, now you would expect after this period of time it would be piping hot, how disappointed we were to find it cold again and my order was incorrect which left my husband eating his meal while I waited for my gluten free option to arrive.

The hotel is right in the centre which is great for walking around the town, but make sure you arrange parking before you leave as it’s difficult to park close to the hotel

Nice location, lack of parking.

We had a really nice stay, the breakfast was good and the hotel is nice and quirky. The room didn't look like its had been vacuumed, there was a hare clip in the middle of the floor.
The location is perfect for Dartmouth's attractions.
Beware that the hotel doesn't have any parking and there are no long stay car parks in Dartmouth.

Lovely place, but attic room needs attention

Everything was fantastic...except our room was attic room with an air conditioner that did not work. It has been broken for some time as there is a laminated sign advising not to use. We also had the seagulls right outside the window, squawking.
I think management should rectify these two issue, first fix the air conditioner and second put some netting up over the chimney stacks so the birds can't perch up there.
It's a poor decision from management to be booking out this room until these issues are resolved.
Otherwise, it's a wonderful place to stay.

Has character

Step back in time ! Needs a refresh but clean,tidy and has a charm. Staff friendly too. As far as the food offerings go in our opinion it’s average at best. If everywhere in Dartmouth is booked up you’ll get a table here! But don’t expect to much.

Step back in time. Needs a bit of a refresh but has character. Pleasant place to stay but quality of food provided in our opinion was average at best. So if everywhere is booked up for evening you will find a table here, but don’t get excited.

What a fantastic hotel! We were welcomed warmly and made to feel relaxed from the word go. Our spaniel was given an even better welcome and a gift was waiting in the room. I won’t spoil the surprise.
We will certainly be staying at the Royal Castle again. Thank you to all your staff.

High expectations but in some areas not reached.

We enjoyed our stay but didn't like number's of dogs allowed to enter the eating area. It is rather disconcerting to have a large dog drooling over every mouthful you take. Also stock levels of several non alcohol were very poor. It is no use being told the delivery is next Monday I would like my drink now.

we were disappointed on arrival that we had been booked into the worst room in the hotel. 4th floor attic room, no lift and an wife who struggles on stairs. we asked for another room lower down and were given a second floor room but had to pay more than double what we had booked for.

A nice return to an old favourite

Hadn't stayed here for nigh on 40 years. The welcome was spot-on, check in was friendly and very efficient and the room was clean and impressive. I was in one of the refurbished rooms and there were some nice touches, but the shower is very small, even if i am a 6 foot 6 bloke. It was a shame the restaurant was full so i didn't sample dinner, but the breakfast was gorgeous and again, the service there and on check-out, was superb.

The place to stay in Dartmouth

Returning to Dartmouth after living here for a long time, the Royal Castle didn't disappoint. Superbly located in the middle of town, the stay was fantastic from start to finish. The staff were so friendly and helpful, finding us tables to sit at, carrying our bags up multiple staircases, helping us with enquiries all the staff went above and beyond. Breakfast was delicious, smoked salmon especially! The bar downstairs had a super atmosphere and the food was delicious and the wines, though a little pricey were superb! The bedrooms were super comfortable and a great size! Couldn't fault anything, we will be certainly coming back soon!

No problems encountered, staff all very friendly and helpful. Cleanliness of the room was as expected, very clean and ready for us on check in. Breakfast was a delight, both continental and full english, along with plenty of other choices too. Overall a very enjoyable stay.

A much needed break from home.

We had an enjoyable stay which was made better when our first room which was too warm and noisy was upgraded to a water front view that was lovely.

I've stayed at this hotel many times over the past decade, as I have a boat in one of the local marinas.

It has a great location and was traditionally the social hub of the town. Like most hospitality businesses it struggled to adapt to COVID and seems to be really suffering staff shortages.

Whilst I'm sympathetic to these challenges - not being able to offer a cooked breakfast and having room cleaning only on request is not really acceptable for a hotel of this quality. Traditionally the service in this hotel was 'quirky' -as the owner was a bit 'Marmite' - however, one always felt that there was someone in control and real ownership of any issues. I got the sense that the team in place from St.Austell Breweries (who took the hotel over a couple of years ago) are just 'doing a job'. And not a particularly good one.

Wonderful Hotel but

Wonderful hotel very helpful staff. Would thoroughly recommend but can I suggest that you don't use a discount code as it seems that their computer systems don't match up with Hotels' ones. Booked a 2nd or 3rd floor room with a 10% discount. When I got there the invoice was about 10% less than I had paid and my room had effectively been downgraded. Staff were wonderful and the situation addressed but check before you go. Everything else was lovely

Charming and romantic

My husband and I stayed at the lovely Castle hotel for 1 night . We were overjoyed with the room upgrade and the fact that we could check in early. The hotel is obviously 100’s of years old so you should expect a few creaky floorboards etc BUT this simply adds to the charm. It is a unique and romantic place to stay that is very clean and has been decorated to reflect the era of the hotel. The view from our room over the marina was beautiful. The downstairs pub is very cosy and perfect for a winters day drink or meal and you can even help yourself to board games. We thoroughly enjoyed our cooked breakfast which was delicious and cooked beautifully. Thank you so much to the hotel for a lovely stay - Dartmouth is beautiful and quaint.

Just great!!!

Absolutely brilliant. What a great place and the staff were so friendly. Probably the best breakfast I have ever had in a hotel and our dog appreciated the sausage too. We love Dartmouth and this hotel right on the quay is just great. Food in the evening was excellent too. Crowded in July and August but exceptional at this time of year.

Charming hotel

First-time stay in this hotel and it exceeded all expectations. Staff were friendly, approachable and happy to help. Our room was clean, bright and beautifully decorated. The bed was huge and comfortable. Bathroom had a shower and a bath so we were spoilt for choice. Breakfast was top-class. Excellent produce used and cooked very well. We ate in the restaurant for an evening meal and it was excellent. Great choice of menu to suit everyone and the standard was very high. The hotel is very old and the floors are out of level because of its age. This adds to the charm and we loved the feel of the place. We had an attic room and it’s worth noting the four flights of stairs and no lift. There are no ground floor bedrooms. Any accessibility issues and this is not the hotel for you. The restaurant is on the first floor too. This didn’t affect us and we had a wonderful stay. Will definitely stay again.
