Good location and comfortable

We stopped at this hotel just overnight on our way from Cornwall to Portsmouth, and I thought it was a good choice! I found it comfortable and clean, with a tasty breakfast and helpful staff. It's a short walk to the beach and the Cobb, so I was able to go out in the early morning to see it. I wish we could have stayed longer, and hope to come back and visit again!

8/10 Very good

Lovely hotel. Highly recommend.

Really lovely hotel. Very conveniently positioned. Had a lovely balcony room and the staff were so very friendly and professional. Only grievance was not being able to turn down, or off, the towel rail. Was too hot to the touch and also made the bathroom and bedroom way too hot.

10/10-highly recommend and would visit again again

Perfect accommodation for our family trip to Lyme Regis, our children and dog were welcomed and felt so comfortable, very rare for us to visit the same place twice but I’d make an exception for the Royal Lion, we had the best time

4/10 Fair

The room was suppose to be deluxe, it was very small no dressing table, no room to sit and do my makeup, no room to dress. , no space to move around the toilet door scrapes the bathoom sink. The food was greasy, undercooked and bland. It was not worth £192!! Staff were friendly.

Staff excellent. Room fine but plumbing needs attention - the hot tap on the washbasin didn’t work at all. Breakfast was fine but choices limited - not everything on the menu was available.

Great location, friendly staff but tired decor

We booked for the location, pool and free parking. After booking, the hotel contacted us to apologise that the pool would not be open for our stay. And they then said the small car park was first come, first served. To save any hassle, we decided to park in one of the town carparks, not realising it was quite so steep - £23 for 25hrs. When we checked in, we noticed the pool on the CCTV - it was in use after all, but they hadn’t told us (so we hadn’t bright swim stuff). They were apologetic, but what can you do at that point? After going out for dinner, we came back to relax and watch TV only to find out the TV didn’t work - and couldn’t be fixed that evening. So no TV either! The member of staff was apologetic but there was nothing she could do as it was a problem with the aerial. She did offer us a drink, but we didn’t want anything else, so weren’t able to take her up on the offer. Fortunately the breakfast (which we paid for separately) was good, and again the staff were friendly, warm and professional. This was the only saving grace really. The hotel is really old - which in itself is quite charming - if you like wonky floors. But it’s really in dire need of a sympathetic renovation. The carpets are wrinkled and worn, the beds are basic (think stripy bed base, velvet headboard stuck to the wall, sprung mattress - the kind where you feel every movement). It’s expensive for what it is and despite its great location, and hospitality, it was rather disappointing.

Enjoyable stay

I had a lovely stay at the Royal Lion. The service was excellent and my room was lovely. I wasn't entirely happy with the cleanliness as the carpet was quite grubby but apart from that, it was good and I'd definitely go back again.

A thoroughly enjoyable stay, special thanks to Neil at front of house/reception and Honor in the restaurant/bar for their unparalleled service and attention. The Hotel and staff far outshine many hotels I have frequented over the years. Highly recommended.

Great hotel highly recommended

We had an amazing time at Lyme Regis and the hotel played a large part in that, the room (19) was clean and well equipped with everything you’d want… the pool and jacuzzi were a wonderful addition, although the sauna was out of order. The staff went out of their way to be friendly , welcoming and helpful. The television didn’t work on the channels but had a DVD player inbuilt and external connections.. Would definitely love to stay again, thank you 🙏 ..
