We are regular visitors to Nice and typically rent an apartment, but on this occasion we needed a one night stop on our itinerary. We chose The Royal based on location, which is ideal to explore Nice. We also wanted a sea view, which did not disappoint. The reception team on check in and check out were warm and professional. The room however, was tired and run down with stains on every surface - the carpet, the ceiling, the walls, the furniture. The bathroom had a new-ish sink and everything else was worn - chose not to take a shower. Balcony was dirty with crumbs of food. King bed was comfortable enough but only 2 pillows provided, so not ideal to read or watching tv. Basic kettle with teabags, no coffee facilities. Bottle of spring and sparkling water and box of cookie offered were complimentary.
We didn’t partake of the breakfast at €18/person. We paid approximately $400.00 cad for the evening and while not crazy money for the location, based on the one thing that ultimately counts - the room - certainly not a bargain. Would not return.
