This was my second visit to the Royal Hotel which I was looking forward to!
On arrival no recognition for it being my second visit- no welcome message or fruit etc in the room!
Staff are great especially the pool team and the breakfast team!
The room i had was the same as last time-
I asked if I could have a late chexk out at 2pm and told no!!
I still love the hotel but it could do better to recognise returning guests!

There was clearly a misrepresentation of the hotel with false advertising on their own website .They claim to have 3 restaurants open now in summer .A big lie!
Fiori de Mureno their main restaurant is closed in summer .The pool restaurant only serves snacks and pizza .The inside restaurant is at the bar and not a full restaurant.
We drove 6 hours from Aix in the south of France with no decent restaurant lunch at the san remo hotel what so ever was open.Finally there was a cheap restaurant at the beach where had fish ravioli at plasic tables and chairs .Later we got sick of diarrhea

This is a great hotel in the heart of San Remo. Spa is newly refitted and the relaxation area / steam room / sauna are high quality and immaculately clean.
The only reason for my 4 star review instead of 5, is that our room was connecting to another and the noise transference is more than we would have liked. In mentioning this to the staff, we were told that our only option was to pay the excess to upgrade to the next category of room. I wasn't angling for an upgrade - just needed a quiet room!

An outdated hotel desperately clinging to its former glory days. For the price its definitely not a 5 star accommodation. Very uncomfortable bed and many burnt out bulbs in the room. The pool which we were looking forward to was poorly maintained with large brown stains at the bottom of it and yellowing tiles. Would not recommend.

NOT MT FAVORITE

We found this hotel on hotel.com. I booked through them with breakfast/dinner (must of hit a button for dinner didn’t plan on this) was included (over 1000 a night). When cking in we told we needed to make res for dinner inside or out and time. So we took 7:30 patio. Arrived for dinner, was told we didn’t have reservation… after a fuss the gave us a table. Sat down (maybe 15 tables outside) they gave us water and then we didn't see anyone for about 15 min. They took our order steaks med. After we notice people who came after us had gotten their dinners, we had only been served our salads. 1 hour later after asking 3 times, He came to table and we explained everyone around us had dinner some on desert.. he said we shouldn’t be looking at what other people were doing. 15 min later: When The steaks arrived they were so rare I don’t think they cooked for two min. We tracked the waiter down to help us. Took food back… 20 min no food we got up and left. As we were leaving the head waiter tells us. He checked up on us and we hadn’t made reservation he asked everyone. He was condescending/rude. We complained to management, and they said because we booked through hotel.com they couldn’t help us. The prepaid meals were $100 apiece
So we lost the first night and had to go back the second. She gave my husband a glass of Champagne on the house. The only thing we asked was a credit for 2 nite din
We didn’t want to go back to same staff. It was a hard no.

Grand old hotel of San Remo

This hotel, built in 1852, stands proud as a really great icon of classic architecture, situated in a place where it has a wonderful view of the sea and the beaches nearby.
Interiors of the hotel are wonderfully spacious in the bar and dining areas, And the exterior has spacious patios, gardens and a pool complex. The pool is saltwater and a little dated now, but is still a great place to lounge by
The buffet breakfast was good, and all of the food we had was of good quality. The restaurants are expensive for meals in the evening, rather formal so you can’t just have a lighter male, except if you dine in the bar. Our room was fine, but not huge. And in particular the bathroom was small, as with all hotels of this period, they have had to adapt the original rooms to fit in a bathroom, the ceilings were high and it was otherwise comfortable. The bed was on the hard side, but that is often the fashion in Italy.
Free parking was good.
I’ve stayed at this place a couple of times now, and I’ve enjoyed it, but perhaps I’d move onto something a little more modern for a future stay.

I truly don’t mind paying a premium but do take exception when they charge €12 for one Peroni beer, I don’t pay that in Monaco, I’m there for the Monaco Yacht Show.
The main restaurant was a let down not the service, again staff are a pleasure, however the standard of the food, was at best fair ish!
The €18 Crepes not even warm, pre cooked with a congealed source. Overhaul a 4 out of 10!

Beautiful property- especially walking out the revolving door that was a bit hard to push BUT the view once out is breathtaking. The outdoor pool was damaged in some areas and it was too hot (not refreshing) with no depth label. Food was great and staff was excellent. My bathroom tub had a half glass door and the toilet was small and low colliding with door. My balcony did not really have a view as it was covered by trees. Still this is a great hotel with a stunning view and would recommend! Loved the guy playing the piano and all the beautiful jewelry displays in lobby.

After two days of terrible and very rude service I asked for the manager. Not a kind word from him. And the final straw - “we don’t need you”

He kept harping that there are rules and if I don’t like it Iu can “go away” but the intent was much ruder. While the rules are indeed rules there’s a way of communicating. This hotel management clearly creates a rude atmosphere. . As soon as I spoke with the manager the issue was clear. Other things that I would not have complained about were it not for the complete lack of respect and professionalism from the management include being told that there were no tables for dinner but there were many that remained empty and we were sat after pointing this out. Rude front desk even from the first encounter. Finally the pool area is truly horrific and requires a serious update.

Dated and not in a good way

This hotel seems to be resting on its laurels and historic past but not in a good way. The pool deck is uneven and feels rickety. The wood floor in the room was pretty but very creaky to the point where when waking around on it, we woke up our sleeping baby several times. Coffee service at breakfast comes in beautiful silver (?) containers that are extremely hot to the touch (use a napkin to pour your coffee or risk burning your hand). Property exterior is peeling. Interior of our room had poorly patched paint jobs on the ceiling and nicks in the paneling around the door. Hammam in the spa was broken our entire 3 night stay. Gym has very dated equipment that’s practically unusable. EV charger comes at an additional cost. Front desk and housekeeping staff were helpful but the property itself felt very dated. We’ve stayed at several nicer hotels and this is not worth the price.

Staff are all very friendly, every single member of staff greets you and makes you feel welcome.
It is an old hotel, and the room decor was a little worn in places, but very comfortable, especially the beds. We reported a problem with the TV in our room, and when it was confirmed it needed repairing, a replacement TV appeared in minutes.

After spending a nice few days in Stresa we came to this place. The difference could not have been bigger. The property is outdated, swimming pool old, overcrowded, rude staff (with the exception of cleaning staff), room (junior suite) was basically a tiny room with a long hallway. What bothered us the most was the overall treatment (rude) the randomness of how things were done (or not done), how requests were forgotten. It all came down to lack of real management ant the arrogance of being in “a popular place”. First and last time.

(By the way, we already mentioned this - we got offered two tickets to some show, which we kindly refused. We left a day earlier than planned - and fully paid)

This was meant to be the highlight of our trip to Italy and France but I'm sad to say it was the worst out of the hotels we stayed in. The hotel may have been good at one point but it is now tired and shabby looking, it fell far below our expectations. For us the pool area was particularly disappointing with poor quality repair and renovation work of the historic pool. The service and staff were good though; such was our disappointment in the hotel that we felt the need to complain to the reception staff and manager, they responded well and did what they could to make the situation better, moving us to a much better room which had been renovated at the beginning of the year...if only all the rooms were of this decorative quality. There was a good choice at breakfast and the waiting staff were very helpful and attentive. We would not return to this hotel.

From the moment we stepped into the hotel, till the moment we left, we felt like we had entered the private home of one of the worlds most affluent families. What a beautiful property with grand touches such as marble and beautiful details on the windows and doors. Balconies off the main room, as well as the bathroom were a pleasant surprise and allowed us to enjoy a view of the Mediterranean from wherever we were standing in the rooms. The property was filled with fresh plants and flowers, which made the location feel even more grand. The pool overlooking the beach, and the location to the center of the town, made this a perfect location to enjoy the Italian Riviera!

Five star old world

A hotel built before people swam in the sea. There is a nice pool and restaurants but you need to walk 10 minutes to get to the beach and cross a major road. The walk back involves around 10 flights of stairs. Some days the hotel is unable to guarantee lounge chairs at their pool or the beach which is pretty bad for what you pay. They don’t provide bottled water at night. Reception are helpful but a little officious
