Very happy with our choice to stay at the Royal Hotel by Nightcap Social. The room was tidy, modern and comfortable. Our only slight concern and room for improvement would be a more thorough cleaning of the bottom of the shower and a service to the air conditioner, other than that, absolutely no complaints! Staff were friendly, room service food was excellent, shared amenities were clean and welcoming, overall a pleasant place to stay. Would recommend and would stay again.

Have stayed at this hotel a couple of times. It was very easy to travel to and close to where we needed to be. Clean, affordable, and lovely people to deal with. We will be back again!

It is close to metro but there’s a car park in between them therefore you have to take stairs/lift. If you don’t have luggage, closest is by bus. Ended up you have to walk more than what it looks like. Room is quite clean, toilet is acceptable.

We had a great time at the Royal Hotel. Staff were relaxed and super friendly and the rooms were on the smaller side but very clean, functional and comfortable.
We couldn't hear any noises from the pub downstairs or the surrounding area. The lounge was a nice feature where you could reheat meals or make a coffee or tea free of charge.
The only thing that could be improved is the doors that slam shut very loudly. They could be padded around the frame to reduce the noise from neighbouring rooms or the shared bathrooms.

The place is super new and you feel like I’m a 5 stars hotel. Free parking and the reception staff was super friendly .. the toilettes were the cleanest I’ve ever been in a shared accomodation

Rooms are clean. But unfortunately one of the rooms didn't have its own toilet and needed to go to the public one. Public toilet was clean but still not convenient at all. Apparently it was listed as no private toilet (or something like that) when I booked. But I didn't pay attention. I didnt think shared toilet still exists...

A hostel slightly nearer to the airport for our last day trip, very decent room for us to rest before we head to airport in the midnight. Shower and bathroom is not attached to the room but it is still very nice place to stay. Restaurant just below the hostel that serve nice dinner. Walking distance to tram station.
