“Great location, great price!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 1, 2012 via mobile

We stayed at the Royal just one night on our way down to Key West. We arrived before check in at around 11am. The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. We were allowed to leave our bags "locked up" while we went to lunch and waited for a room to be ready to check in to. The only problem with this was that the bags are "locked up" with what is essentially a bike lock right near the front door. This would certainly stop a thief from running off with your bags, but not from opening them. We made sure to take everything of value out of our bags and keep it with us. Other than this minor detail, this hotel was great. Friendly staff, clean room, and a good location. We were able to walk to all of our favorite spots on Washington and to the Lincoln Rd Mall area.

“TAKE GREAT CARE”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed April 25, 2012

Unfortunately booked before reading reviews.Read before arrival to reviews about noise of late night club on ground floor. Arrived early (11am) to check room booked by easy to book reserved for 15.00. Offered last left (over nightclub). Receptionship agreed it would be noisy but nothing she could do as Spring break and VERY busy. Requested to cancel, told her she could relet the room and it was agreed we would find another place to stay. However, told we would have to reclaim from easyto book.com as she couldn't authorize a refund. She gave us their internet access code to cancel with easy book as we only had a UK mobile. Their email reply was 'charged due to no show'. As we booked in Florida but live in UK I wrote on return to request a refund as the full amount of $142.62 was taken from our bank account despite giving them full details of our reasons. To date neither the hotel or easy to book has bothered to reply to my complaints. Very poor customer service. We travel a great deal and will never use easy tobook again and have warned all our friends in UK too.

Room Tip: Read reviews about rooms and ensure your request is accepted before booking.

“What more do you need!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 30, 2012

Went to the Royal South Beach Hotel 3/27-30th, and had a good time! The hotel is situated approx. 3 blocks from the beach, 2 blocks from Ocean Dr. and close to everything happening in South beach. The hotel staff (especially Ms. Mel) was helpful and nice and the bed and shower were comfortable. The hotel is 'historic', don't expect a four- star hotel at these affordable prices! Really, what more could you ask for at the price and LOCATION!

Room Tip: Maybe a room further from the elevator , but that is a personal choice
