Historic Hotel in Prime Location ”

We loved our short stay at the historic Palais Royale. Reception staff were warm, welcoming and accomodating. Our room was a great size, well appointed and very clean. Decor throughout the hotel is opulent and charming. Only a stones throw away from the main centre of town, we left our car and walked the entire time. A fantastic location and experience, we will most certainly return!

A short walk from the main strip, it was a clean and well maintained. Great simple breakfast, we could of up graded. An extremely well restored old building. A joy just to sit in the common rooms and admire the charm of yester year. The wood work, stained glass windows, the walls and ceiling, just fantastic.

Really Enjoyed”

Booked a queen room for a Saturday night & was upgraded to a king because occupancy was low due to Covid & school holidays had finished. It's on the main street with plenty of off street parking & easy walking to the shops & restaurants. Also very easy access to local buses for site seeing. Staff informed, polite & helpful. Wonderful old charm feel. I will definitely come back.

Great location”

A friend and myself visited for a few days. Disappointed due to Covid restrictions that we weren’t able to dine in the restaurant. Also, the tiny bottles of shampoo and body wash were not replenished...they were too small to be reused, and no shower cap. Little things, I know, but what we expect from all hotels! Also, “Happy Hour” very disappointing as it was advertised on the blackboard for half price but we only got $1.00 reduction! Other than that, hotel was lovely, old world, next to the main shopping centre, and staff were helpful, and friendly. Will return.
