Reviews
What truly stood out was the outstanding service at the reception. A special thanks to Aisha Masood – she was extremely professional, welcoming, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was smooth during my stay. Her kindness and efficiency set the tone for the whole visit and made me feel genuinely cared for.
Highly recommend this hotel, especially thanks to the warm hospitality of the staff – and Aisha in particular.
Spa and wellness centre was free to use and has a pool, 2 saunas and a steam room. Towels and robes were supplied in the room.
Very nice bar area and terrace.
Parking was available, albeit €20-25 for the night.
Would use again.
Pros: spacious rooms with balconies, air conditioning, refrigerator, coffee machine, excellent pool and saunas, and beautiful interiors.
Cleanliness and Room Preparation:
The room was not properly cleaned. I found hairs from previous guests in the bathroom, on the bed, and even on the towels — which is completely unacceptable for a hotel claiming to be of a high standard. Housekeeping was poorly executed: towels weren’t replaced, bathrobes remained crumpled on the floor, and several basic items were missing, such as tissues, still water for the coffee machine, a shower cap, disposable toothbrush, and other essentials.
Reception and Lobby Area:
The lobby itself was visually nice, with a good design. However, the reception experience was frustrating. Only one receptionist was available at all times, leading to long waits. It was clear that a second staff member could have been working, as the front desk had space for more.
Room Features:
The room itself was spacious and beautifully designed, and I especially appreciated the large balcony, which added a pleasant touch to the stay.
Breakfast – A Letdown:
I had high expectations for breakfast after reading positive reviews online. However, the quality and selection were shockingly poor. The food was bland, lacking seasoning or taste, including the omelet made on the spot. There was no variety — no syrniki (cottage cheese pancakes), crepes, waffles, or decent scrambled eggs. Even dessert options were disappointingly limited.
This was genuinely one of the worst breakfasts I’ve experienced at a hotel.
Staff and Service:
No staff member particularly stood out. The service felt neutral and impersonal, which is not what you would expect from a hotel with the word “Royal” in its name.
Value for Money:
As someone who travels frequently and has stayed in both high-end and budget accommodations, I can honestly say that the experience did not match the price or expectations. The hotel’s name sets a standard — but the service and experience were far below it, closer to a budget hostel than a proper hotel.
One small criticism, which has nothing to do with your hotel: The charging stations for electric cars in the parking garage were regularly blocked by non-electric vehicles. Unfortunately, the warnings on the windshield wipers seemed to have little effect.
Thank you very much, and see you soon.
Cleanliness: Excellent 9/10
Comfort: Excellent 10/10
Bed: Comfortable and excellent 10/10
Balcony: Nice 8/10
Two elevators available
Air conditioning available
Coffee machine available
They provide one large bottle of water
Location: Very good and close to the center by car (I expect a 10-minute drive or a 20-minute walk)
Two-level parking available (covered and open)
Breakfast: The place is nice. The options are nice and limited, but it's worth trying. The breakfast area is beautiful and has a view.
