Jun 13, 2026Nice 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.

Apr 19, 2026Beautiful 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.

Aug 29, 2026My 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
Michael Warren
Apr 23, 2026This 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.

Apr 17, 2026This 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!
