We stayed at the Royal Inn for one night before joining a cruise to Norway the next day, I really wish we could have stayed longer! This is a beautiful pub/hotel full of character, the staff couldn't have been nicer and the meal we had on the night of our stay was very nice, as was lunch the next day before we left. The view across the Bristol Channel was also very impressive.

Lovely hotel with a stunning view across the Bristol Channel. The rooms were beautifully decorated and were a pleasure to be in. Although the rooms were above a pub there was no noise and it was very quiet. The breakfast was really good enjoyed the Farmers breakfast, and it was such a nice start to the day looking out of the window.

Evening meal were average first night but very good the second. Breakfasts were okay, could have been more choice on the fruit (just whole apple or orange) and I do like my coffee to be hot (luke warm both days I'm afraid). Overall a good stay in a well kept hotel in a splendid setting.

Nice clean room, lovely furnishings and even a chocolate on the bed. Really nice place and good breakfast other than the coffee server with breakfast coming form pre-made large flask and tasted like instant. Server did get us a ground coffee form the bean machine so all good. Good location and small wall to the marina bars and shops in portishead.

Beautiful building in a lovely setting, within walking distance of the marina. The team are professional and so friendly. The young people on dinner service were polite and so amiable. Chris at breakfast was particularly wonderful, as was Jess who sent me my lost glasses. They went above and beyond and nothing was too much trouble. I will definitely be staying here again.

My friend and I met here for a mini break and catch-up on Aug 11th - 13th. I had made the reservation via Hotel.com - big mistake. On arrival Hotel.com had not released the money to the hotel, The Assistant Manager 'Jess' was so helpful, she had been trying to sort this out before our arrival to try and make our Checking in process smooth. Long story short, I had to pay again, which was £30 cheaper than going through Hotel.com. The Hotel.... Absolutely fault less stay. Lovely Hotel. Gorgeous food. Plenty of parking. Special mention to 'Chris' the breakfast guy. So friendly and helpful. And again thanks to Jess for all her help and keeping us supplied with extra milk for our endless cups of tea in our room. The Royal Inn are lucky to have you both.

6/10 Good

This was the very best hotel and staff. The room was lovely. Staff were friendly, and they couldn't do enough for you. They would do anything in their power to make your stay a pleasurable experience. I would strongly recommend the stay, with the Marina literally two minutes away, and the town center a 10 minute walk away. My only problem was the food. It's not the best, and don't have the breakfast you'll be wasting your money, it has very poor quality ingredients. You'd be better off eating elsewhere. Would I stay here again? YES. It's an amazing hotel, I just wouldn't eat there.

This is a little hidden Gem! Cost vs experience was exceptional. You'd think you were staying in a 5* hotel in London with the way the whole collective effort was shown. The staff could not have been more friendly and engaging. The room was unbelievable value for money. Clean, Modern with expressive style and warm. We didn't venture from the venue as we didn't need to. The food was a perfect balance of quality and price. The drinks were, shall we say, enjoyed. Breakfast the next morning also didn't disappoint. We will be coming back. My only criticism is the staff don't wear name badges so I can't mention all of them here personally!
