We have just returned from a 1 week holiday at this hotel and thoroughly enjoyed it. Viareggio was not like other Italian destinations we have visited but grew on us within a few days. Art deco buildings are wonderful, beach very clean and well kept and great for strolling and people watching! Lots of Italian bling! The hotel was good.... more

We attended my sister-in-laws wedding here a couple of years ago along with approx 70 guests from UK and Europe, what a great time had by one and all and especially so staying at the Grand Hotel Royal.

Spent six nights at the Grand and Royal as part of a 2 Centre Holiday, which we booked independently. The vast majority of our fellow guests were package tourists from Britain and Germany, most of whom were friendly. There was no early morning scramble to reserve Sunbeds around the pool, as it doesn't open until 10a.m, and the door to... more

Don't get put off by a few bad reviews below. This is a good hotel and a wonderful place to have a holiday. We loved this hotel - which was a relife after reading some of the bad reviews. The hotel is in a good location along the seafront at Viareggio. It has a super garden with hammocks and swimming... more

The hotel is in the best location along the seafront at Viareggio, has a lovely garden and swimming pool (with a bar, a lifeguard, and complimentary towels) and has lots of elegant period details that make its public areas most... more
