I booked the room with Ensuite. The mattress is too soft and can hear the noise from the traffic. The room is furnished with basic furniture pieces only. No hair dryer, no basic table and chair.

My fifth time stay at The Royal and always a warm welcome and great service. Rooms and bathrooms are spotless, well-appointed and comfortable. Bistro food is great. 👍
