Quality Hotel Grand Royal

10/10 Excellent
"Not one negative word to say about this hotel. Only a few minutes walk from the train station. The staff are really great! Very genuine, friendly and helpful. The kind lady at the front desk let us check in early, and check out late. Our room was in the older section of the hotel but was still very nice. Spacious, clean, comfortable, nice view to the mountains at the rear, nice shower. The breakfast was very very good. Wide selection and a large dining area. The staff here are wonderful too. There's a large waiting area near reception with a few games to pass the time. We highly recommend staying here."
