I have spend 2 nights at Royal at find some bad (80%) and some good things there (20%). For the good parts, the hotel is nice with a fine view if you booked a sea view room. The room is spacious but at the lobby level there are too many activities in a small place and you don't feel relaxed.... more

We found the staff to be very unhelpful and very unwelcoming. Food wasnt what most people would call satisfactory, and although we ate it some of the time, we didnt particularly enjoy it ! We found it hard to get served at the bar which was swarmed day and night by the German customers, and they certainly were favoured as... more

Well I will start with the positives, the hotel itself was clean, the bar staff were friendly although knew very limited english, the rooms were cleaned every day to a good standard and the cleaners were also friendly. The hotel is situated in a really good place, very close to the markets, bars and beach but not so close to... more

The hotel is very modern, with a bright interior design. All areas are very clean, and well maintained. It is very close to the main attaractions in Golden Sands.

After reading previous reviews on this website, I was dreading coming to this hotel. I used to work in retail travel and went to Bulgaria last year and sampled a variety of hotels in all the tourist areas, so I had an idea of the quality of the hotels etc. I actually enjoyed the stay at this hotel.

The sheets were only changed once and didnt even fit on the beds, the bathroom/toilet was never cleaned and the bin was never emptied. On one occasion I left... more

Me and my boyfriend have just got back from golden sands and we stayed at the hotel royal. The location is great we really enjoyed it. The beach is gorgeous. But be prepared to pay for the loo's EVERYWHERE including resturants and bars you eat and drink in!!! Also all the sun lounges ect!! The nightlife was just getting going... more

Couldnt aggree more with the reviews of this hotel, take my advice - please dont book it. there are better hotels for not much more, shop around and read all the reviews. The reports on the food are all spot on. It was vile, and we are very easy pleased. We thought people were exaggerating and said we would always... more

Me and my boyfriend have just returned from a week away in Golden Sands (20th-27th September 06) WEATHER The weather was not great, we got half day sunshine the first full day we had, and then a day of sunshine the day before we left...most of the time it was either raining or very cloudy, having said that when the... more
