Unique hotel with nice rooms with balconies looking out to the main square. The rooms and bathrooms are little run down. For the price this hotel is excellent and is in a great location. Breakfast buffet is a typical MENA hotel breakfast; cheese, meats, salad and pastries.

Royal Victoria is just so beautiful! It is located right at the entrance of a busy market, walking distance to many restaurants and servicves. The staff members are always warm and nice. Their hotel restaurant serves very good food, we ate there every day. I highly recommend the hotel.

Flot hotel ned god beliggenhed

Beliggenheden er god, i gåafstand til mange seværdigheder, især det store klokketårn og Medinaen. Hotellet er en flot seværdighed i sig selv, smukt dekoreret både udenpå og indeni. Jeg havde et værelse med balkon og kunne sidde og se mange på pladsen foran tage mobilen frem for at tage et billede af hotellet jeg boede på- det var en meget fed følelse.
Breakfast buffet. Plenty of fruit and an omelette bar and pastry and cereals

The location of this hotel is perfect: it really is right next to the medina, and the people-watching is great. The staff are super friendly. The only disappointment was the breakfast.
