I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The decor is very pretty, the location is excellent—close to the airport, the Medina, and other key spots—and it’s very walkable. The staff were kind and accommodating, and the breakfast (which is included) was a nice bonus. The room had good water pressure, which is always appreciated. That said, there is some room for improvement. The hotel could benefit from better attention to detail when it comes to cleanliness. For example, sometimes the garbage can was missing a liner, and the balcony wasn’t always cleaned. The room itself felt a bit worn—lots of marks on the walls and in need of a fresh coat of paint. It could really use a little update and some repairs to give it a more refreshed feel. The same goes for the common areas, like the hallways and dining room. Some repainting and upkeep would go a long way. Also, in the dining area, it would be better if the placemats were cleaned or replaced after each guest. Overall, it’s a nice hotel with friendly staff and a great location, but a bit more care in cleanliness and maintenance would make it even better.

We LOVED the stay at the Royal Victorian! The interior is gorgeous and intricately painted. It was our anniversary trip, and they laid rose petals and hearts with swan-shaped towels for us in our very clean room. We had a small balcony which overlooked the square which was lovely, and being just next to the Medina was perfect for what we wanted. Water and minifridge provided, tea and coffee, and if you want, room service. They also held our bags for the afternoon while we toured the city!

Our room was clean and was spacious and the hotel has a unique decor. The staff at the hotel were VERY friendly. The breakfast buffet gave a variety of foods everyday and was included in our daily price. We would stay there again. The only down side was the air conditioning was not turned on yet and you only had the fan from it. It got pretty warm and it was humid.
