6.0/10

I had a mixed experience at Hotel Royal. While the location is fantastic and the staff were friendly, the rooms felt outdated and I encountered several issues that affected my stay. The noise from neighboring rooms was bothersome, and the check-in process could be improved significantly.

Rooms

5.0

The room I stayed in was quite large, but it showed signs of age and needed some updating. I could hear conversations from the room next to mine, which made it hard to relax. The cleanliness left something to be desired, especially with stained carpets and old furnishings.

Service

6.0

The staff were generally nice and tried to help when asked. However, there were delays with service, like when I had to call multiple times for clean towels.

Location

8.0

The hotel's location is excellent, just a short walk to Novena MRT and close to plenty of dining options. This made it easy for me to get around Singapore.

Dining

5.0

Breakfast was somewhat disappointing, with limited choices and below-par food quality. The breakfast experience was often crowded due to tour groups, which added to the chaos.

Facilities

5.0

The facilities were basic. The small swimming pool didn't offer much space for swimming, and the gym was hardly impressive. Overall, I expected more for the price I paid.

Unfortunately, the staff's attitude was often dismissive, and I felt like they could have been more helpful and polite.

5.0

Dining options were limited, and the breakfast variety was not impressive. The coffee was cold on one occasion, which was disappointing.

Facilities

There were basic facilities like room service and a pool, but the laundry situation was hit or miss, and the cleanliness by the poolside left much to be desired.

5.6/10

My stay at Hotel Royal was a mixed bag. The room was generally clean, but older and in need of refurbishment. The location was convenient for accessing nearby restaurants, but I found the overall service lacking some warmth. While the breakfast had a decent variety, it wasn't without its quirks. There are definitely some much-needed improvements.

Rooms

The hotel's location was fairly good. It was close to Novena MRT and eateries, but a bit tricky to navigate in terms of accessing public transport.

Dining

Breakfast had a good selection but ran low on ingredients at times, despite being there early. There were also some noisy tour groups that added to the chaos.

Facilities

5.0

Facilities were quite limited. The swimming pool was small and the gym had minimal equipment. Room service and housekeeping were available, but they could have been more efficient.

5.2/10

My stay at Hotel Royal was a mixed bag. While the spacious room and breakfast offerings were good, I faced frustrating check-in and check-out experiences that marred my overall impression. The location is convenient for accessing local attractions, but the amenities fell short in a few areas.

Rooms

6.0

The room I stayed in was spacious and designed to accommodate three guests comfortably, though the decor felt a bit dated. I did have some issues with unpleasant smells and the shower pressure being quite low, which detracted from the experience.

Service

5.0

Service at the reception left much to be desired. Check-in was slow, and I encountered some rude behavior from staff. However, the staff answering my questions were friendly despite these setbacks.

Location

8.0

The hotel’s location was a big plus, with a bus stop right outside and Novena MRT just a short walk away. Plus, I found a great dessert shop nearby, which was a good bonus.

Dining

Breakfast offered a lovely variety of dishes that set me up nicely for the day, although I didn't explore much of the hotel's dining options beyond that.

Facilities

6.0

While the hotel provided essential services, several facilities like Wi-Fi were inconsistent, and I would have liked better maintenance of the amenities.
