Breakfast was buffet style serve yourself. Plenty mid choice for me. Staff were really friendly. It’s an older hotel so the decor is a little tired but overall a good experience.

The room was front facing with a lovely view 👍.. We really enjoyed a little break at the hotel , it has plenty of downstairs sitting space & the grounds outside was huge ..
Special thanks to \" Simon \" who was working on reception & in the bar , for the friendly , and professional service..
Also to the lovely lady from housekeeping, who knocked on the door on second morning to see if we needed anything at all.
It was much appreciated..
As a grand old house, there are obviously renovations the hotel said they'll get to whenever they can , but this didn't detract from our little stay , at all..
We would definitely stay there again 👍

The hotel is a grand old lady, with hard working staff. All hotel area's clean, Staff went out of their way to help guests enjoy their stay, even the Chef went the extra mile for us. Friendliest hotel Iv stayed in for ages, bar man put quizzes on the bar TV for guests in the evening, No one was a stranger. Rooms had heating, that you could adjust yourself. Shower was a bit dodgy, but worked. Breakfast is complimentary & buffet style. Plenty of parking, even for EVs. I would return if I was in the area.

Reception staff where pleasant and polite
The outside areas resembled a skip
The interior wasn't clean , it was so grim
The room was freezing , no heating in the bathroom , i had to sleep in my fleece and jacket
The food was disgusting
The description on the 'Hotels.com' website didn't in anyway reflect the true state of the place , totally misleading, how can i book with confidence now via Hotels.com ??
Do not stay at this place !!!

Really good value. Unfortunately it cannot be 5* as my room wasn’t ready at 3pm, which delayed some plans but this would not stop me recommending this place (or staying again).

We really enjoyed our stay, our room was clean and even had a little extra heater provided which was a nice touch. Everywhere was clean, the breakfast was delicious and cooked lovely. The bar was very nice too with board games and a nice selection of drinks. Staff very pleasant and friendly. Would recommend and would stay again. Thank you!

2 men on reception are friendly. Good selection of breakfast and tasted very nice.
Our room was a twin. Cleanliness of the room wasnt the best as there was dust on skirting boards and on the bedside table..did not complain as still enjoyed our time. Hotel needs updating in many areas however it mustve been a spectacular building in its time. Definitely would stay again..

The hotel in side is very tired. The room was ok, new shower curtain and nice bedding. Breakfast was a disaster. There were a lot of guests staying at the hotel and we are not sure why it’s in the condition it is.

Average hotel with good breakfast

The information on hotel.com needs updating.The checkout time is 1030 not 11 and the breakfast is 0800 until 0930 not 0730
The hotel gave us an upgrade to a balcony room which was appreciated.

Excellent breakfast, with helpful staff. The room was clean and well appointed but tired looking The garden area requires improvement compared with my last visit 8/9 years ago. The 'touch screen' door lock new system is a hugely improved facility, helpful to the resident as well as safety and number control for the hotel.

Didn’t get our keys until 4.20, and when we went to our room it was as the last people had left it. Beds unmade, dirty cups etc. a guy said he would get it done immediately, so we left our cases and went for a walk. When we returned it was ok, but the bathroom could have been cleaner. The staff were very pleasant, but the whole place needed a good clean.

Great location but it’s run down and in dire need of refurbishment.
Room 110, good size but the most uncomfortable bed I have ever tried to sleeep on.
The en suite was snug and again dowdy.
Breakfast very good

Not bad for a 2* - cleaning an issue

It's not bad for a 2*, however the building needs a total refurbishment. It's a beautiful hotel, but It’s tired, old and needs a total makeover. The room i stayed it was dirty and covered in cobwebs and had one plug - thank god i travel with a extension wire. Bed was comfortable, and I had a hot shower although i founds hairs in the bath.

Breakfast was amazing and staff friendly! Location is amazing. If they stay on top their cleaning, and carry out the refurbishment they can hit the 4* mark.

The Hotel was comfortable and clean enough, but for the price I paid, I expected a much higher level of service and catering. The breakfast was very disappointing, and felt more like a transport café than breakfast at a hotel charging nearly £200 a night.

Breakfast was all in the price. And the bar was open when we got back from the show.
It seemed that the hotel was run on a shoestring. Staff were working 12+ hour shifts and the one person was covering all tasks. For example, upon check in the man at reception, by himself, had to check guests in, answer the phone, serve at the bar meaning that paying people were waiting longer than necessary. At checkout, again one lady having to sort queries, take any payments, check guests out and answer the telephone (which is why one cannot get an answer when ringing the hotel direct).

Beautiful old building, great location and good breakfast. Friendly staff.

Downsides were the shower curtain was tired/old/dirty and the towel rail was on/hot in the height of summer with no ability to turn it off. This felt like a waste and bad for the environment as well as heating the room up when it wasn't needed. Also the shower temperature could not be changed, so it was cold for ages then very hot, with no ability to do anything about this!

Too busy to accommodate

I was really looking forward to my stay at the Skegness The Royal Hotel, unfortunately I don't think they properly accommodate people with gluten intolerance/Coeliac disease. Despite emailing the hotel ahead of time to confirm the availability of gluten-free options for breakfast, I was treated with some hostility when asking for gluten-free toast and there was never gluten-free sausages available. We visited in June, perhaps out of season, but the hotel was fairly busy and it seemed like staff were overrun. A decent price for the room and a great location, I think this hotel has a lot of potential but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone with any allergies or additional needs.

Location was very good, short walk to the clock tower and shops.
Staff were brilliant. Check in was smooth and we managed to get into the room a little early.
The room (we stayed in 319) was as described, it had a very big balcony with a view to the sea. The bathroom was quite small but we could live with that to have the balcony and views.
The food was excellent, we booked bed and breakfast but also had a dinner in. Breakfast was buffet style. The dinner menu gave a reasonable choice of items.
Whilst the stay was value for money and we would stop here again, purely for the above reasons, the hotel in general was in need of some work to bring it back to it's former glory.

All ok

Room was a little dated would benefit from a few modifications and the tap to be fixed as it dripped all night and was loud enough to be annoying.
Breakfast was really good plenty of choice and fresh.
Overall for the price and for the one night was good enough for us
