“The Royal Victoria Hotel has a clear advantage with its historic charm and prime seafront location. While some aspects require attention, its potential is undeniable; I found that the building's stunning period features, particularly the Grade II listed marble staircase, make a memorable impression. The combination of seaside views and event facilities should appeal to both leisure and business travelers.”
