Beautiful town let down by...

Liked: The location was good for ilfracombe, nothing else positive to say about the Royal Britannia Hotel.
Disliked: Check in was a disaster, reception area was locked although someone was in there, had to walk around to find a barman who called someone to open it up. It looked like a second hand charity shop in reception with rubbish and odd items everywhere. Very poor directions to room did not advise stair wells out of order due to water leaks. Cleanliness was terrible and the shower had dirty shoe prints inside it. Bed linen awful, bed itself felt unsafe. The whole premises is unsanitary and I’m amazed it’s operating. Obviously just making its money on passing summer trade. Would not ever consider returning to this hotel.
