About this property

Looking out to sea over Broadstairs’ Viking Bay, the Royal Albion has a magnificent location, on the seafront, yet also close to the heart of the town. The Royal Albion was originally built in 1760 and Charles Dickens was a regular visitor. The famous Bleak House, Dickens’ home in Broadstairs, is within sight. The rear gardens lead out onto the town’s seafront promenade, with direct access to the sandy beaches. All of the 21 rooms are en suite and each room has satellite TV and tea/coffee making facilities. Each room has a view of the historic town or of the bay. Wi-Fi wireless internet access is available in the entire hotel. A generous and tasty full English breakfast is included in the bed and breakfast price.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.6 for a two-person trip.
