Spent a week here. Upgraded to room with balcony at no extra cost. Overall hotel is lovely with most things right, downsides were-: bathroom although has character, the shower over the bath has no wall bracket meaning you have to hold it yourself, which for a 4* hotel is just not good enough, and the shower screen needs replacing. However,... More

This is a very impressive hotel, with marble staircase, very wide corridors and chandeliers. The reception area is large and welcoming and check-in was friendly and efficient. Our room on the second floor was sea-facing, with a balcony. It was a good size, with tiled floor and really high ceiling. The twin beds had been pushed together, there was loads... More

We stayed for five nights at this beautiful hotel at the end of May. The room was gorgeous with a balcony looking out to see. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The pool is lovely with a great bar which is open all day. The decor in the hotel is grand. A stylish hotels great for couples. Highly recommended... More

My wife and I visited Viareggio after spending 7 days in Tuscany at 2 different B&B's. The hotel was very nice, with well-kept rooms, a good breakfast, and relaxing pool area. We visited in early May 2013, so it was a little before peak beach season. This was nice because the crowds were light, but meant that it was a... More

We thought the hotel was very good. The location, staff, pool area, overall cleanliness and restaurant are impressive and although there is some road noise, I assume all the seafront hotels must suffer from the same problem. The front desk staff were extremely helpful and gave good information on day trips, restaurants and hiring the bikes. We would definately return,... More

The hotel was very clean and the service from nearly all the staff was first class. We were with friends who had the room next door. Our room was very good theirs not so great. Ours was fully carpeted, abundent plug points, good aircon unit pumping out heat (it was quite cold when we were there). The room next door... More

Very nice hotel with Italian charm. Motto bene ! We only stayed one night, on 5/17 but could easily spend some time here. Centrally located on a great strip of beach, with designated cabana and umbrella lounge chairs. Well kept beach, even it was early in the season. We enjoyed our first floor room, with 14 foot ceilings and elegant... More

Just returned from a week in the hotel. Double room facing the sea was great, but the single was sprawled around the life shaft and shuddered through the night when the lift was on the move. Extremely friendly staff and very clean hotel. take the bikes out for a ride, play by the pool or use the sea front opposite... More

The Grand Royal Hotel has a lot of atmosphere and old-world charm with an air of faded glory. It is not without its faults but these are outweighed by its many positives, especially the staff. Just to put things in context, my wife and I stayed here from May 18th for a week as part of a Thomson package. Nothing... More
