Staff were very nice and could not do enough for us. We could leave our luggage at main hoteol and use the pool while we were waiting on our room being ready. Taking us across to the room was also and added bonus. The room and building it was situated in was small but lovely. Bed very comfortable. The downside was that it was facing a park where alot of drunk people sleeping rough were around at night, that was unsetteling.

We had a truly mixed experience with this place. Checking in they did not have the correct information about our payment, they thought we already paid (with multiples reservations over a one week trip we didn't keep track as well as we should) so we payed the tax, had to come back to pay for the room, to later get an email that we didn't pay the right amount so after 3 separate payments the bill was finally settled. Then we learn that the second B in b&b must stand for bath or beyond because breakfast was not included but we did have a discount for staying at the gustehouse. So 10 € / p for 3 mornings we didn't accoint for in our planning. Come last morning they wanted to charge us for all mornings so we had to correct it since we paid each morning. Multiple staff members told us or asked if we were checking out a day earlier than we were. So alot of stress and extra money. Aside from this, the location gave good access to the city with walking distance to many major attractions, the room and bed was comfortable and aside from the fact the the "private bathroom" was in the corridor with a separate key it was fresh and beautiful. The staff was genarally helpful and nice although contact was only at check in, check out and breakfast.

Clean and beautiful room. Check in is a few blocks away which is difficult with suitcases but otherwise fine. They did not mention breakfast or a pool so as far as we know there was none of either which was disappointing. Also, would have rather had a key for religious reasons than an electronic method to get in.

Si bien, la recepción de la propiedad no es en el mismo lugar, el hotel siempre fue 100% transparente en ese aspecto y por eso sabía a lo que iba. En cuanto la habitación cuenta con excelentes almohadas y colchón, descansas super bien y el personal siempre es muy atento.

The location of this place was the best part, a short walk from the centre but also a little bit away from the business and crowds. The room is exactly as described and had everything we needed. The only downside was that we were not aware you had to pay an extra fee for the pool anytime you want to use it and it was one of the main reasons we chose this place. Other than that the place was easy to access and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. Would definitely stay again.

The hotel is divided into Villa Royal and the B&B. The price for the B&B is quite high for what they offer and for the area. The room isn’t bad, but it doesn’t justify the nightly rate. Access to the pool or breakfast comes at an additional cost. It’s close to the train and bus terminal, with a stop in front of the park, but the area isn’t the nicest and it’s a 15-minute walk to the city center. I’m sure there are other places within the same price range, in a better location, and with fewer issues regarding carrying or moving luggage from the Royal. That said, Carlo did help us by sending someone to pick up our luggage, and they stored it for us at the main hotel. It’s a decent place, but not cheap or particularly comfortable.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The apartments are in a residential block. This meant that my friend and I found them very noisy! This started very early in the morning and late into the evening and sometimes in the middle of the night. People shouting, talking, furniture being moved, washing machine being used etc. I did not get a good night’s sleep whilst I was there. I did complain to the hotel - on another site - and was offered a free breakfast. Quite frankly, I don’t think this is acceptable. Also, we were not told that the hotel is on another site, meaning that we got dropped off at the B&B apartments by our taxi but could not make out where we should check in! We had to ask the hotel next door who directed us to Villa Royal. Luckily it was not raining but it meant we had to take our luggage with us. Just making everyone aware that the apartments are in a residential block!

Bom mas se liga na temperatura

Boa , quarto grande, uma pequena caminhada do centro, mas o que deixou a desejar foi o aquecedor… na última noite não funcionou…, eu acho isso um desrespeito com o hóspede, principalmente num local de muiiiito frio.

Custo benéfico Ok

A estadia é um apartamento onde o banheiro é fora do quarto mas isso não é um problema pois vc não sai no tempo somente no corredor. Cama confortável, quarto amplo, banheiro com ducha boa e água quente. Achei que o aquecedor do quarto fraco pelo tamanho do quarto. Mas as cobertas conseguem dar conta do frio, não sei se no inverno mais intenso o quarto fique aquecido.
