Pros:

Breakfast was good. Strolling past the shops on the road across from the beach was relaxing.

Cons:

The size of our room. It seems as I'd the bathroom was added at a later date which perhaps took away from the functuality of the room. I wasn't impressed with the dinner menu although the room set up was nice.

Lovely Grand hotel in need of some improvement
Pros:

Nice location in Viareggio. Lovely old world glamour feel to it. Friendly reception and bar staff. Great pool

Cons:

Mattress very hard. Very limited sound proofing in the room - we were kept awake until 2:30am for 2 nights out of 5 due to outdoor parties on the front.
Restaurant was unwelcoming and poor quality food for a four star hotel.
Need to improve fire evacuation procedures- a false alarm one night was not managed well.

Een prachtig klassiek hotel met een authentieke, ietwat gedateerde uitstraling, maar zeer goed onderhouden en bijzonder
Pros:

Vooral de gastvrijheid en persoonlijke service. Vanaf het moment dat we aankwamen voelden we ons erg welkom. We kregen een prachtige kamerupgrade en het personeel was gedurende ons hele verblijf vriendelijk, professioneel en attent. Daarnaast is het een prachtig, stijlvol authentiek hotel op een geweldige locatie direct aan de boulevard.

Cons:

Niets, de locatie was voor ons uitstekend: direct aan de boulevard, vlak bij het strand en alles op loopafstand.

Una piccola oasi sul mare di Viareggio
Pros:

Ho trascorso un soggiorno meraviglioso al Grand Hotel Royal di Viareggio. La struttura è elegante e curata in ogni dettaglio, dalle camere spaziose in stile classico al bellissimo giardino con piscina, perfetto per rilassarsi nel pomeriggio. Il personale è stato super gentile e disponibile, e la pulizia impeccabile. Ho mangiato benissimo e l’aperitivo serale con il piccolo buffet è stato una sorpresa piacevole. Consiglio davvero questo posto a chi cerca accoglienza e charme sul mare.

Cons:

Nulla

Pros:

C'est un lieu très connu de Viareggio.
Nous y avions passé quelques nuits il y a une quinzaine d'années.
L'établissement nous avait épatés.
Cela reste très bien, mais pas à la hauteur de ce qu'il a été

Cons:

Les ascenceurs bruyants.
Un tarif excessif, c'est un excellent hôtel, mais plus un palace

Hotel dal fascino Liberty
Pros:

Soggiorno davvero piacevole al Grand Hotel Royal di Viareggio. Una struttura elegante e ricca di fascino, in una posizione eccellente sul lungomare.

La camera era molto pulita, confortevole e ben curata. Ho apprezzato particolarmente la professionalità e la cortesia di tutto il personale, sempre disponibile e attento alle esigenze degli ospiti.

Ottima anche la colazione, varia, abbondante e con prodotti di qualità, perfetta per iniziare la giornata.

Un hotel che riesce a mantenere il fascino e l'eleganza di una struttura storica offrendo allo stesso tempo un servizio all'altezza delle aspettative. Esperienza assolutamente positiva: tornerei molto volentieri!

Cons:

Nulla

Überteuerter historischer Charme mit Schwächen im Service und Komfort
Pros:

Schöne historische Fassade, aber das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis stimmt nicht. Das Hotel beeindruckt von außen mit seiner wunderschönen Jugendstil-Architektur und seiner historischen Geschichte. Leider hält das Innere nicht, was die Fassade verspricht.

Cons:

Für den hohen Preis sind die Zimmer sehr karg und spartanisch ausgestattet – hier fehlt es an Komfort und moderner Gemütlichkeit. Das Servicepersonal war zwar grundsätzlich freundlich, wirkte jedoch seltsam gehemmt und eingeschüchtert. Ein möglicher Grund dafür zeigte sich im Auftreten des Hoteldirektors, Marino Patruno: Er ging distanziert und mürrisch durch die Anlage, ohne die Gäste zu grüßen, was eine sehr unangenehme Atmosphäre schafft. Zudem war der Aufenthalt im Garten getrübt, da dort überall auffällige schwarze Rattenköder-Boxen platziert sind. Insgesamt ist das Hotel für das gebotene Niveau deutlich überteuert.

Déçue du personnel qui n’a pas su être commercial
Pros:

L’emplacement la piscine et jardin

Cons:

Hors de prix avec une chambre extrêmement petite . 400 euros la nuit . Les chambres au même niveau de standing ne sont absolument pas identiques et quand vous en demandez une autre pour juste pouvoir circuler autour du lit , on vous fait payer un supplément . De plus on avait réservé une place de parking électrique : ils nous ont fait payé 25 euros la place et 85 euros la charge sans nous en a avoir parlé avant . C’est une honte

Esperienza strepitosa e colazione da sogno!
Pros:

Ho soggiornato di recente all'Hotel Royal di Viareggio e l'esperienza è stata assolutamente fantastica. Fin dall'arrivo si respira un'atmosfera top, elegante ma al tempo stesso accogliente e rilassante. Tutto lo staff si è dimostrato estremamente cordiale, sorridente e sempre pronto a farti sentire coccolato per l'intera durata del soggiorno.

La vera stella della struttura è senza dubbio la colazione: semplicemente eccezionale e tra le più ricche e abbondanti che io abbia mai visto in un hotel. La qualità e la varietà dei prodotti offerti sono di altissimo livello e permettono di iniziare la giornata nel migliore dei modi. Un soggiorno perfetto sotto ogni punto di vista. Consigliatissimo, non vedo l'ora di tornarci!

Cons:

Tutto perfetto
