Confortable hotel

The hotel was fine and confortable but you can see the room is a bit dated therefore I found the hotel a bit expensive for what it is. The breakfast was totally correct but not amazing. I would stay again for the location only which is ideal!

The location was excellent — tram, bus, and train access was very convenient, and the city bus tour stop was also nearby. Many key attractions, like the Castle and the old market area, were within walking distance. However, the washroom, especially the shower area, could be improved. There were exposed hot pipes, which felt unsafe. Aside from that, the staff were friendly and everything else was good.

Great hotel.

Myself, my daughter and granddaughter had a two night stay at the Mount Royal and could not fault it. The room was large and airy and the beds were comfortable. I am vegetarian and the choices for breakfast were more than adequate and in pleasant surroundings. Would definitely come back.

Breakfast buffet is really good with a variety of options and the staff is friendly. Overall we enjoyed staying 2 nights, the area is nice, walkable to bus stops, restaurants and the old town.

Tiny room for the price. Air con with no instructions on how to use it (figured out on the way out that the red sticker on top was supposed to represent the on button). No drinking water, just basic tea stuff, not even any biscuits or alternatives. Paint on the bathroom handles and lock make it look like it's just been slapped on in a rush and they couldn't be bothered to mask it off first. But that said the staff were very nice and welcoming.

Good hotel. Nice rooms

Good room liked the decor inside the room. The hallway was quite dated and there were scratches on the doors and walls, had a little bit of a creepy feel at night.
