“Every detail of the hotel was modern, and all the staff were very friendly and cool. We booked a twin room; it had basic facilities you could ask for: an electric kettle, climate control, and a personal safe. A bathtub in the private bathroom was a plus.”

“We recently stayed at the Royal and were delighted by our experience. The staff was friendly and offered excellent service throughout our visit. The location is perfect, just a quick stroll to the train station, and we enjoyed the peace of a quiet neighborhood while still being a short trip from local attractions. The room was spotless, comfortable, and well-appointed, with great amenities like free laundry and a lovely lounge area for evening drinks.”
