A grand old hotel in a wonderful location with just the right of formality to make it feel like somewhere special.
Extremely professional staff at all levels.
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.

Gorgeous river view room that was spotlessly clean.
Staff very friendly & location was fantastic.
An excellent location to stay and discover Dartmouth and surrounding area.
The Staff were 1st class, the room was clean and comfortable, breakfast faultless.
All in all 9/10, St.Austell Brewery know how to provide vfm.
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!)
Stunning old hotel recently been refurbished. The best feature of this hotel are the staff, bar staff helpful. Breakfast staff are helpful caring and attentive. Big shout to the domestic staff so friendly, helpful definitely got to know rm21 loved oat cookies and shortbread.
The staff were exceptional, very comfortable room, wonderfull breakfast and my dog was treated first class too!

Liked: Cleanliness
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.
I enjoyed my stay at the Royal Castle Hotel. The Hotel is warm, cosy and interesting with pleasant, responsive and helpful staff, a good bar and dining facilities and an excellent breakfast. Its setting is attractive and convenient for exploring the town and the area.

Stayed for nights, the hotel is quaint with very obliging staff. Restaurant looks over the river which makes an ideal situation for breakfast and evening meal
What a lovely place to stay at whilst visiting Dartmouth. Convenient for food as well as a local drink. Breakfast was included and the dog was spoiled in the most dog friendly hotel i think we have ever stayed at.
Great staff and right in the centre of town. Old hotel full of character. Only downside is that there is no parking any more, this used to be a real bonus.
