For what you pay, this is a great place. The rates are cheap, the rooms are clean, and the service is friendly. To top it off, they offer a pretty decent spread for a breakfast buffet which is free for all guests. This helped save on food costs and also made it very convenient to eat a good breakfast before having to leave early for a tour.
Another plus is that there is an awesome massage spa right in the lobby!! It is open until 11:30 pm, so makes it the perfect way to end your night after an exhausting day of exploring Thailand. Prices are affordable despite being located in the hotel. 250baht for a foot massage, and 450 baht for an aroma thearpy oil massage. You may find slighly cheaper prices outside hotel, but the service, cleansiness, and privacy of this spa is worth that slight extra in baht if you ask me.
They offer free use of computer and internet service. Always a plus! Oh, and another plus is that they allow free international calls to landlines with their lobby phones. For mobile calls though, they may charge.
It is located a short walk to the train station which makes it accessbile to the rest of the city, but to be honest, I only used the train station once. Train is great and cheaper if traveling alone, but if you're in a group and spltting taxi cost,...For what you pay, this is a great place.

To be honest, I probabaly would have rated this an Excellent instead of a Very Good if I wasn't comparing it to a hotel that we expereinced in Chiang Mai, Siripanna. It is probabaly not fair to compare the two hotels considering that they are on different star levels, but I just can't help it. So if you ever go out to Chiang Mai area, I highly suggest checking out Siripanna hotel. Costs a little more, but for what you get, totally worth it!! I promise! Oh wait, this review is about Royal View............So yes, Royal View = Great value!More
