Old, faded and tired

The Norfolk Royale is a hotel that was once one of Bournemouth's most prestigious hotels but it has now lost it's sparkle and has faded into just another hotel. Upon checking in, I was advised the breakfast would be busy as they had a number of coach parties booked in. Almost all the guests were OAPs enjoying a trip to the coast. My room was a great size but very tired and in need of redecorating and updating. It was extremely noisy from the traffic until quite late. Strangely, the hotel didn't appear to have a restaurant so I was obliged to find dinner elsewhere. Breakfast was well managed by pleasant staff. My view is that the Norfolk Royale is not a hotel I would return to.
