Hotel Royal is a boutique hotel, as advertised. It is right in downtown LB so is highly walkable to nearly everything you'd like. I took the train from LAX and the station is a few blocks away; the staff is super friendly and helpful and responsive; it is a walk-up property so take that into consideration. My room was small- it was too small to fit a chair so it had no chair. I like to work on the computer in the morning so that was not ideal. I equated the room size and bathroom size to some European boutique hotels. I Ndo not know if other rooms were larger, though i suspect some are. I grabbed a bike every morning for a ride on the beach bike path- offering a free bike rental is nice, though i wish they had a simple allen wrench to adjust the seat heights; i tried to find one to given them but failed; I used the refrig in the room- always nice to have one.

The room/bathroom was small but absolutely perfect for a solo traveller, the room was beautifully decorated and clean, the bed was very comfortable. The room and bathroom had all the needed items to make the stay totally comfortable! fridge, microwave, coffee maker. I would absolutely recommend this hotel, I will be back! Great price for the value.

Make no mistake this is grunge town. The pictures look good online and the reviews said it was good, but not my cup of tea. Use my own sheets and the AC did not stay on cool the whole night. The bath is extra small, no one over 6' can use the shower. The Parking is a nightmare for $25 per night which will bring the total up to a brand hotel without all the issues. It depends if want the real urban experience or a good night's sleep. Your choice.

Hotel staff were extremely friendly and easy to reach/get ahold of. The room was clean and a nice size, I especially appreciated the size of the fridge/freezer. There was a window a/c unit, which did a great job of keeping the room cool, as it was much warmer than expected when I was traveling. I would definitely stay here again!

Cute Lobby. The location to the town is good, but it is super noisy and the parking and walking in the evening and night is not safe. Unfortunately, there are a lot of homeless around the entire block and people out all night yelling. The day staff was very nice. The check in staff barely acknowledged anyone even looked up. Be prepared to walk up 2-3 floors of very steep stairs. We wanted to live this property, but it didn’t feel safe.

The young man working the front desk was very kind and professional. That was the best part of the hotel.
As for the hotel..... where do i start?
The narrow, rickety stairs going to the second floor were covered in gross, stained carpet. The room was tiny. I was not expecting it to be so closed in. Although clean in appearance, the overwhelming sent of airfreshiner was gagging both myself and my gf. There was nowhere to sit comfortably. My gf was so alarmed she immediately started checking the bed for bed bugs. Thankfully we could open the windows to air out the room. We left pretty quick to go get dinner. The walk towards the marina was nice. There are a million restaurants and cute shops all within walking distance. We got back to the room pretty tired so we went to bed and found the bed surprisingly very comfortable. Had a great nights sleep. The next morning the same sweet clerk was working the front desk and helped us back down the scary stairs with our baggage.
Some good, some bad. Just be prepare before you book here.
My biggest issue. This is clearly a MOTEL, not a hotel. And should be reclassified as such.

Terrible place. Very small room, no place to put your language, no closet , no shelves, nothing, just two hangers on the wall. Yo can see light from the hallway in your room. Doors are not safe at all. Windows are covered in a spider web and dust. It looks nothing similar what you see on the pictures online. We checked out after 10 minutes. I’m very surprised why it has such a high rating, hard to believe in it. Contacted the manager for refund and it was of course declined. Property located next to the love toy store.

Online photos really don't do this place justice. Loved how stocked up our room was having the kitchenette -- pots, pans, plates, cups, utensils and more to cook/eat with. Even included some spices, dish soap and a sponge with a drying rack and plenty of storage space to store our own food we brought in. Enough room in the mini fridge for our stay's needs. Includes a pod coffee machine and microwave, do semi wish there was a toaster and can opener, but plenty to make do with the stove top.

I thought the interior of this hotel was very charming and really appreciated their security system for guests. Made it easier to haul our stuff in trips with a peace of mind.

The two invidiuals I met running the lobby during our stay were very friendly and helpful. Barely heard any outside noise from our room, AC/heater was great, great shower but the tub is a bit high -- hard to get in and out of.

Hotel is at a great spot, Vons is an easy walk to get to. Overall wonderul stay, would absolutely stay at again.

This property, which is actually 3 properties side by side, is not handicap accessible. One must walk up a long flight of stairs to get to the second floor. It is difficult to figure out which door to walk in off the street. Parking is located completely around a corner, is somewhat difficult to find, and is not visible from the hotel, but is well lit. The front desk person was very kind.

The location is downtown and within walking distance from several interesting restaurants and cocktail lounges. The surrounding architecture is interesting and photogenic.

I never got the text with the door code, and I question the cleanliness of the rooms. I found two hairs on the bathroom floor when I arrived, and they were definitely not mine! I was not searching for hairs, they were very obvious. Finding them made me question the cleanliness of everything else.
As well, there was much disorder in the stuff piled behind the concierge desk. This type of disorderliness always makes me question the efficacy of management.

I just can not believe that. This hotel is like a hole in the wall and it has so many opportunities for growth. Let's talk about the positivities the rooms look pretty nice, you can rent out a bike, a lot of food choices that are walkable around the area, it's very quiet at night. The down size was the cleanliness in the room the silverware really wasn't clean, we had a mysterious stain on the wall in the bathroom that potentially look like mold, when you first come in the hotel itself. The hotel smells very strange and really it's about hand washing the walls and also picking up that carpet and possibly putting down new carpet because it felt very muggy, had a strange smell and it was pretty much hard to breathe. Our rooms didn't smell like the hallway.
