Bien mais pourrait être mieux
Pros:

Chambre confortable

Cons:

Extrêmement bruyant même au 5 ème étage. Prises de courant et lampes non fonctionnelles pour certaines.
Pas de restaurant sur place pour un hôtel de cette taille.

Pros:

La disponibilità del personale a fornire informazione. La qualità della colazione.

Cons:

Il parcheggio non dovrebbe essere a pagamento. Scoprire all'arrivo che il servizio ha un costo ed è alto non è stato piacevole. Abbastanza sconcertante che, esclusa la colazione, non ci sia un servizio di ristoro.

Pros:

Hotel Royal Palace: Un tuffo nel lusso senza tempo
Soggiornare all'Hotel Royal Palace non è semplicemente una vacanza, ma un vero e proprio viaggio nel tempo. È una struttura affascinante, dove si respira un'atmosfera d'altri tempi e sembra quasi che il cronometro si sia fermato a un'epoca di estrema eleganza. L'atmosfera è così suggestiva che sembra di trovarsi sul set del film "Il Padrino": lampadari, arredi classici e quel fascino solenne che avvolge ogni angolo della struttura.
Abbiamo alloggiato in una camera molto spaziosa; caratteristica che oggi è difficile trovare nelle strutture moderne.
Durante la colazione viene servita una selezione di prodotti locali di eccellenza, freschi e genuini, che raccontano i sapori del territorio con grande qualità.

In sintesi: Se cercate la modernità minimalista, questo non è il posto per voi. Ma se volete lasciarvi cullare dal fascino della storia e vivere un’esperienza carica di stile e carattere, l’Hotel Royal Palace vi incanterà. Un’esperienza magica e fuori dal comune!

The Hotel was ok, but needs to improve in areas.
Pros:

The location was perfect. It was close and easily within walking distance to all public transportation including train and ferry. There were plenty of restaurants near by. The breakfast was pretty good.

Cons:

The room was mediocre. The air conditioner stopped working after the 2nd day. The water did not drain down the shower causing the water to spill over to the floor. The bed was extremely uncomfortable.
