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.

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. Offering free toiletries, this twin/double room includes a private bathroom with a bath or a shower and a hairdryer.
