what's not to like - found the hotel on trip advisor - quick call 1 hour away and deal done (eur70 on a sat night walk in - pretty good). Madame totally cool, no ridiculously useless french form filling check in - (and i hadnt booked she just had my name from my mobile at the autoroute service station 1... More

My wife, baby and I stayed for two nights. The room was confortable, large for European standards, a bit outdated but clean! It is located perfectly, everything within walking distance. The restaurant was excellent! It is not cheap but worthwhile. I specifically want to mention the staff who were extremely professional, swift and friendly. The cheese kart and dessert kart... More

My wife and I stopped for one night on our way to Narbonne. The hotel is comfortable, clean and retains a 'French' atmosphere. The restaurant was busy while were there but the service was good and the food excellent - if a tad pricey! I left with the room key but posted it on our return - hope they received... More

Stayed here when attending a conference in Troyes. Travelled by train from London via Paris. The Royal is right next to the station - very easy to reach on foot. The hotel has the charm of being a non-chain locally-run hotel - "corporate" it ain't. My room was on the small side, but reasonable for the price. The bathroom was... More

I stopped over at Troyes en route for the Tunnel from the alps. Despite arriving looking like a tramp then staff (no heat or power for a week in Meribel) were very welcoming and helpful. The lady on reception spoke very good english but was happy to wade through my truly gruesome french without any hint of laughter. Rooms are... More

This was a stopover. The hotel has been renovated since I last stayed. The rooms now have good sound insulation, the bar is very pleasant and the staff very friendly and helpful. We had eaten a good lunch so did not try the restaurant but had a simple meal at a winebar called Tout Simplement which is a short walk... More

This older hotel is being renovated and presents a greatly improved picture from our last stay there. The bathrooms are superb: clean, bright, modern and efficient. The rooms are also in great shape, and getting better. The hotel bar is comfortable and cozy. The dining room is simply fabulous, not just because of its decor but in particular because of... More

Just stayed for one night at the Royal again. I have stayed a couple of times before and use it as a stop over when travelling through France. Is centrally located and easy to find (follow signs for the Tourist Office / Gare SNCF / Royal) that are posted from a couple of miles from the centre. There is parking... More

Location The Royal in Troyes is located just beside the railway station and just a minute or so from the historic medieval quarter. Due to a combination of some temporary roadworks and the odd way that France has of sometimes suddenly dropping signs to the station/hotels at a major junction having signed for the previous two or three, we did...
