Hotel THB Royal

Meget god service. Hyggelige ansatte i resepsjonen. Løsningsorienterte. God mat. Bra renhold. Gode senger.

We arrived here as waifs from a big storm, unable to get home for three days because public transport to North Devon was not running. But we had a lovely experience at this character hotel and restaurant. It was the opposite of the cheap chains (although they have their place, of course) with a quirky, wonderfully comfortable and well-equipped room, a bed to die for in terms of sleep comfort, a great big TV, and lots of little touches that made it a good place to hole up in. Excellent food at the cosy restaurant, and they fitted us in despite having a couple of giant Christmas parties on. Most of all though, it was the people who made our experience - every single person was warm, welcoming, clearly well-trained and went the extra mile to look after us,. The only warning I would give is that the stairs are narrow and there is no lift. That is obviously part of the nature of the old building, and the restaurant is on the ground floor, but if you have mobility issues you need to ask if they have accessible rooms for staying in.

Das Hotel ist in einem guten Zustand, der Pool ist sauber. Lolo war sehr nett und hilfreich - mein Zimmer war immer gut gereinigt. An der Rezeption gab es sehr nette, aber auch eine recht unfreundliche Dame. Das Hotel ist etwas abseits, aber wer gut zu Fuß ist (20 Min) kann auch eine Einkaufsstraße und Restaurants finden. Der nächste Strand ist in 10 Minuten zu Fuß zu erreichen. Das Frühstück war okay, das Abendessen super.

Being 15 mins walk this was cheaper than many of the seafront hotels. The grounds and pool are were good and felt like a 4 star resort, well maintained, clean. Friendly helpful reception. Good atmosphere. 2 big pools, one quiet one near the French music. Predominant French and all the entertainment is in French. I speak French and went to one of the evening ‘spectacles’. Most people in the room were rolling around in laughter; the ‘comedy’ was not to my taste though! My room was very spacious and had lots of potential but IMHO was let down being an interior design disaster: so bare with a cheap tatty melamine faced furniture. It was so bare it looked like someone had taken the furniture. I didn’t eat at the restaurant but had bright harsh lighting reminding me more of a motorway cafe. As a base to explore the island it was great. It’s near to the best beaches on the island - playa del Papagayo. Hire a car for 30 euro per day. Go there and explore the island. It’s really grown on me….

The THB Royal offers exactly what it says on the tin. The junior suites offer the benefit of a longe area (with sofa bed) and a second TV. This hotel caters almost totally for French guests as is the entertainment etc. The quietest area is at the rear of the property beside the second and slightly smaller pool. The hotel is clean and tidy with daily maid service. It is a 10 walk to Playa Dorada, then turn left for the Rubicon Marina with its up market shops or right for Playa Blanca. It’s a pleasant 10 minute walk either way. This was our 2nd visit in 2 years, we go for board only as we prefer to have lunch or dinner in the town. The hotel is excellent value for money

Es un hotel muy tranquilo y buenas instalaciones

This is a really lovely hotel, positioned on the eastern side of Playa Blanca and very convenient for the beautiful beaches at Papagayo and for main roads to other parts of the island. It's around 15 minutes walk to the town centre by the main road or (best route) along the prom from Playa Dorada and there are supermarkets nearby. The site is well laid out and planted with mature ficus and palm trees (at dusk every day tiny birds came to sing in the tree overhanging my balcony). The rooms are large, unfussy and spotlessly clean and have private terraces or balconies. The are staff mostly very friendly, particularly the younger receptionists who are excellent - and trilingual in French, Spanish and English. Other reviews mentioned the noise from the entertainment, so I sent a message to the hotel asking for a quiet room. I was placed in the 'Zen Zone', on the first floor away from the busy areas overlooking the quieter of the two pools and was very happy. The entertainment ends by 23:00 in any case. One review mentions holiday reps 'coming round' but I was left entirely alone and nobody came to the door during my stay except the lovely housekeeping team. The hotel is very popular with French families (no Brits at all) and the atmosphere is very friendly and civilised. No loud room parties or drunken staggering about late at night. friendly. There is a smart cafeteria serving meals on site but I booked room-only through Zen Hotels and got a very good rate. There's a kettle and fridge in the room and lots of great places to eat catering for all tastes in and around Playa Blanca. I hired a car from Payless and they delivered and collected the car to/from the hotel. The weather wasn't entirely brilliant during my stay but I was happy to be at the hotel or driving around the island sight-seeing. Will definitely return to the Royal.

Hotel was good value for money - but no way is it a 4 star hotel - 3 maybe. Room was good - despite being close to the main restaurant/entertainment venue it had good sound proofing and was not disturbed. Wifi was OK - aircon was ok - but did not extend to bedroom - room safe worked - bathroom clean and OK Breakfast was pretty poor. Given that the hotel was half the price of others in the area then it was good value for money - as a place to sleep but nothing more

Personal muy amable y atentos

Hotel très agréable, la chambre avait sa propre petite terrasse privée. La piscine est assez animée la journée et en soirée, mais les chambres sont spacieuses et bien isolées.
