The property was older, but it has been refurbished and the rooms are very nice. The location is easy for sightseeing with restaurants nearby. The staff was amazingly helpful.

Friendly staff. No free breakfast because it's affiliated with a restaurant, but we got complimentary coffee there in the morning. Ask for room 4, it's away from the others!

A wonderful historic hotel full of old-world charm, beautiful artwork, and genuine hospitality. I chose the Royal Hotel based on its excellent Google reviews and the owners' thoughtful responses, and it did not disappoint—I enjoyed my stay so much that I've already booked another night for next week.
Baby Rango the toy poodle and Billy Bean the Siamese cat are absolutely adorable, and Carmen is as warm, colourful, and memorable as the hotel itself.

Rooms are good with spacious parking right in front. Great place in back for walking your dog. No complaints with ice available in office. Self check in was easy and quick
