Had an 80th Birthday Dinner at the Royal last night -  14 Adults, and 3 teen boys
The service was good, a lovely staff member helped with the Birthday cake
All meals came out quickly after ordering, and everyone  enjoyed their meal ( the 3 kids, said they could have eaten more, but  most kids say that, no matter how much is on their plate) No complaints at all -  Great night, had by all  
5 out of 5

Dinner at the Royal Hotel  Mornington

A bit hesitant after reading some not so great reviews but was very pleasantly surprised. Room is lovely, very spacious, very comfy bed & pillows, lovely bathroom and a spectacular view from the balcony. Dinner was fabulous. Everyone enjoyed their meals and the service was excellent. Would definitely visit again.

Great Spot

We had a good family event experience in the Victoriana Room on 2 January. We think everyone was happy with both the food and service. The scotch fillet steaks and apple & rhubarb crumble were particularly good.

Good experience

I met some friends here on a nice balmy night and we sat on the verandah and had a great view of the bay. We just had a few drinks and ordered some snacks, some foccacia with olives and a dip and some chips with aioli. It was a lovely night and the food was delicious and the service was friendly. A great place to go for a few drinks and a great view.

Great view from the verandah

We’ve stayed at the Royal previously, but this time our accommodation was in the 3 bedroom apartment.   We knew it didn’t have a view but it was nicely fitted out, with quality toiletries and fittings.   There's a kitchen, 3 bedrooms and a sitting area,  The bathroom includes a full size bath as well as a shower, and a full-size washer/dryer.    There’s a 2nd TV in one of the bedrooms.  The beds were really comfortable.  There’s a very comfortable couch in the lounge area along with a big coffee table, a couple of side tables and a bench with stools, but no dining table as such.    The wi fi was fine.

It’s on the 1st floor, so access is by the stairs which are quite steep, so you might like to bear this in mind if stairs are an issue.   The pub downstairs has music during the evening, so there’s a little noise from this until about 10 pm.

We were there in mid-summer, so it certainly wasn't cheap, but Mornington and the Peninsula have a lot to offer and we had a good time.

Staying again at the Royal

I'm a connoisseur of Chicken parmigianas everywhere I travel to I always try the parma's.
The parmagarna here was succulent chicken breast cooked to perfection with the perfect amount of rich napoli sauce and a layer of bubbling golden brown cheese, the hotel has an old feel ambiance about it overlooking Port Phillip Bay.


Great parma!!

First impression was a very nice place with wonderful views. Beers overpriced, $9 for schooner is just robbery. Then the menu was very basic, so went the Parma, sat down after ordering for a chat with the brother in law, only to be told after 2 minutes that my meal was up. Thought this can’t be good, and it wasn’t. Obviously pre cooked and frozen and zapped in the microwave. Tasted dry and bland.  Took us an hour and a bit to come and have time with our family only to cop second hand food, so disappointing. Definitely won’t be back as not many of our party of 13 were happy with what was dished up.

Poor food

I ordered a parma chips, salad and gravey,  the meal was $27 and $2 for the gravey,  the service was great and the meal came out quickly,  however the salad consisted of nothing but lettuce leaves and the gravey was slightly bigger than a  thimble,  I sent a message to the hotel and got NO reply.  Definitely not worth the money they charged.

Dissatisfied with the meal

A lovely place but overpriced for what it is and very slow service.  I had the mussels with rice  - which was not a very good combination with far too much rice. My husband had fish and chips which was a much better choice

A nice historic place by the sea

This was our go to parma place, we went there as craving a parma after covid lockdown- so disappointed, chicken was dry, $2 charge for a tablespoon of gravy was ridiculous, waited 30 minutes for drinks, the cheese bread was inedible, meals came staggered, it felt like a cafeteria. I get obviously changes and maybe new staff due to covid, but this place has lost the plot!
