Hotel Royal

We found this to be a perfect short stop over before we headed off for a cruise. The staff very most helpful. There is a kitchen facility, we did not make use of this but that was down to us as we ate out, but all you would need was supplied. We had pre booked a taxi ourselves for our pick up to go to the port, it never showed, but the receptionist on the morning straight away booked us a taxi for us which arrived very promptly. We would recommend this hotel, and we would for sure stay there again ourselves.

The loft room was HUGE! Great location with lots of restaurants to walk to. Very nice staff! :)

Generally I was fully satisfied, except there was no room making although I raised please make up room please sign.

Very quaint old hotel. Only here for one night and it was perfect. Lots of eateries in area. Hotel supplies offers free coffee, tea and water. Our room had a microwave & small fridge. Staff was terrific. Very accommodating.

Very nice boutique hotel. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Community kitchen on ground floor. Surprisingly good coffee in the morning. Free bikes until 7pm.

I found the hotel to be very clean with wonderful customer service. Parking was pretty easy it’s best to call ahead and ask for them to leave a parking pass for you ahead of time to be sure you have adequate parking. The room was small with the bed taking up a lot of the room however this is a historic older hotel so that is to be expected. There is no elevator just stairs so just be prepared for that. It’s very walkable and in a safe neighborhood with plenty of food and bar options around the area. Definitely would recommend this hotel to someone looking to stay in the area I also think this hotel is more for the younger crowd I don’t think someone that is a bit older would enjoy it as much because of the smaller rooms, stairs, and busy nightlife.

Did not like- smelly (not clean) towels, Kleenex & toilet paper smelled like they had been sprayed with feces, sheets did not appear to be cleaned, no hot water until I complained, controls for heat were not in the room, Elaine Switzer

We booked this on short notice when other hotels were full to go to the nearby Long Beach Convention Center and paid a premium. Not a great experience but it worked. Don't overpay for this hotel. Things you should know: • Cleanliness was not great. The room's floor did not feel great and there was some visible mess. Bed was okay. Bathroom needed some love (exposed wood that just stains by the mirror). Hairdryer exhaust was covered in lint. AC unit had the "clean filter" light on when we arrived. • No elevator here. Rooms are up 1 or 2 flights of stairs. They're wide enough that it's not that hard to get suitcases up if you're able. We weren't offered a porter at the check-in desk. • $100 deposit is taken at check-in. • Access is with physical keys with door handle locks. Didn't feel as safe as the heavy locks on modern hotels but it was probably fine. Since you could hear through it easily, it felt a little off. • Walls are very thin, I could hear next door's TV. • Rooms are not made up/trash removed each day. You get your room and you're on your own. • Bed is a little small compared to what hotels are offering these days. • We went in the winter but there is an AC unit in the window. The downside is that it lets through outside noise quite easily. • Shower ******. The head had a few equally awful settings and the shower curtain would either cling to you or let the water out into the bathroom.

The hotel is charming and well-set up, and the walkable area around it has so many amenities that make the stay at the hotel so much easier. The neighborhood felt reasonable safe, and the staff was helpful and friendly.
