Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews
By Axel Hernborg · Updated 31 August 2026 · How we review hotels
Hotel Royal is best for culture-seeking travellers who appreciate historic heritage. It features historic 1838 Neoclassical architecture, an on-site casino, and an extensive collection of 300 artworks alongside authentic antique room furnishings. Guests have awarded the property a booking score of 8.7 based on 1308 reviews, and a Google rating of 4.3 across 724 reviews. However, the hotel has modest fitness centre equipment, and some guests may find navigating the narrow historic corridors a bit restrictive.
What Guests Loved
- The building dates to 1838, retaining original Neoclassical features like stained glass and glass chandeliers. This architectural integrity provides an immersive historical atmosphere often missing in modern chain hotels.
- The interior serves as a private gallery with over 300 curated art pieces distributed throughout the property. This focus on visual culture adds a layer of sophistication and personality to the guest experience.
Things to Consider
- The fitness center provides essential cardio and weight options but is smaller than those found in modern luxury resorts. Guests requiring advanced athletic training may find the equipment selection somewhat basic.
- Due to the 19th-century design, some corridors and doorways reflect the architectural standards of 1838. While this adds to the character, it can feel compact compared to the open-plan layouts of contemporary hotels.
