Room was small but cosy, decorated very nicely and I loved the fact that we could sit on terrace outside our room, with sea view.
Breakfast, superb choice and very nice, I had eggs Benedict. Guy serving was very helpful and friendly.
Only downside here, is there is no parking. It’s a shame the hotel doesn’t hv some kind of arrangement with the local council to offer subsidised parking for guests. Obv local council want people to visit Broadstairs, so why is parking so expensive.
Anyway regardless I would def stay again and def recommend this hotel.

We had a great room with balcony overlooking the sea which we took advantage of in the sun! The bathroom was clean and modern. All the staff were friendly and helpful especially the head housekeeper who found us an extra chair for the bedroom!
The breakfast was tasty with a good choice. The bar staff were good although could do with some practice with making cocktails!
Great central location for walking to shops and restaurants.

This hotel was just as excellent this time around as it was last time we stayed here. It was sold out while we were here as the Charles Dickens festival was going on. One thing to be advised with this hotel is that there are no lifts as it it is an older hotel and is grade II listed so there is no requirement for it to do so. That being said it does have three floors of rooms with about half facing directly to the ocean which means you could have a little or a lot of stairs to contend with. So if you have a disabilty that does not allow for stairs be conscious of that when booking. My partner had a heart condition and it did not occur to me to ask for a room on a lower floor at the time of booking (that was on me) so the first night we ended up on the top floor. A room which I have to say was absolutely lovely if it weren't for all the stairs you had to climb! The view of the town was beautiful from up there though. They were extremely kind and were able to partially accomodate us on the second night and move us to a second floor room which I am grateful for as the climb was not as strenuous. Nice pub and restaruant and sensational outside seating to watch the beach and sea. Breakfast is delicous and piping hot and well presented with a nice continental for those not wanting a hot breakfast. And being centrally located in Broadstairs it made it really easy to visit the town. About a 20mins walk downhill from the station or you can take a bus called the 'Loop' part way down

Both my wife and I found the hotel faultless, we only wish we’d booked a few more days to enjoy being in the hotel. It has to be taken on board that the hotel is about 200 years old, so consequently the structure of the building doesn’t support having a lift.
Charles Dickens stayed there, his house is next door Dickens‘s house, but with nine children a wife and a maid in such a small house he found it better sometimes staying in the Royal Albion. You go to sleep listening to the waves breaking on the beach, you wake up to a stunning Seaview, strongly recommend.

Breakfast was excellent. Freshly prepared. Continental breakfast was extensive. We had a town view which was fine. Surprisingly no road noice so we slept well. Room was clean and bathroom was sparkling. Bed was very comfortable. Only observation would be that the shower was over the tub, and that's fine except that the tub was very tricky to get into especially for older people so having a way to get in and out easier would be nice. Tons of space in the bathroom though especially at the sink so it we had a place to put toiletries which was nice. Overall a nice stay and will come back. Will save up so we can try an ocean front room next time.

Staff were pleasant especially the man at breakfast but seemed a bit thin on the ground maybe the time of year. My room was beautiful with a little very balcony overlooking the sea. Such a nice location. Need to watch out for trip hazards when doing painting repairs around the hotel. A few times a lit of stuff left on the stairs by workman, accident waiting to happen.

The best hotel, opposite the best beach!

We stayed for 2 nights in the triple room and had the best time. Firstly the location is FAB! You couldn't get any closer to the beach. The room was comfy with a great sized bathroom. Lovely tea/coffee facilities in the room. The hotel staff were so friendly and nothing was too much trouble. We were celebrating my mums birthday and they decorated the room with a banner and we had a drinks voucher for the bar which was a lovely touch. The breakfast each day was perfect. So much choice with cold and hot foot available. My son has a diary allergy and they were very clear with what he could/couldn't have. The only slight downside is that there is no parking included and that there is no lift to the top floor. But we knew these before booking so it wasn't an issue for us.

The staff are very friendly, attentive, and helpful.

The breakfast is a highlight. It's delicious, best one I have had in an UK B&B, offering a variety of delicious options, including cooked-to-order choices, it goes well beyond the standard full English breakfast.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay andwould love to go back.

Not quite as good as I hoped.

So-so welcome, was told to come to reception to replenish milk when necessary but found I didn’t have any in room. Headed for the bar, where I asked about the advertised limited edition XPA but the barman said “I haven’t got a clue, they just stick a card up without telling us.”
So, overall first impressions weren’t great.
Luckily for Sheps, the rest of the crew were very good during the evening and breakfast next day, indeed breakfast was very good and tasty compared to many other establishments.
Unfortunately the bed was not level due to a top-floor room having an uneven floor and I was having to slightly prop myself in bed to prevent roll-out to the edge. Shower was powerful but water up the top was only warm all through the stay, and although that suited me, it may not suit others.
I wasn’t asked on check-out if everything was ok with the room/our stay, so don’t feel awkward raising the issues here.

We loved the room overlooking the sea with a large terrace. All the staff were polite and efficient. The beer garden and the terrace outside the bar were great. Some of the carpet in the corridors outside the rooms and the exit to the terrace could have benefited from a hoover! The only downside to the room was that there was no milk provided to enjoy a cup of tea. When I asked about this I got a thermos flask of hot milk which obviously went off the next morning as there was no fridge. I think a fridge in the room would be a great asset.
