Royal Princess Hotel

Location location location !!

Bars closed too early. The live music they advertised finished at least one hour before the advertised time.

Excellent hotel, beautiful area and best staff

Loved everything

Beautiful views. Onsite breakfast is Percy buffet with everything. Easy to get to the #6 bus which arrives every 10-15 minutes during the day so Old town and other areas are easily accessible. Promenade walk is beautiful and gets you to great food and shopping.

Quality of the non-breakfast meals is fine but not nearly as good as other locations in Lapad and Old Town

The suite was fine - not outstanding, but nothing to really criticise.

What we did not realise was that this hotel was just one in a resort complex along the coastline, making guests a captive audience. The complex includes several (very expensive) restaurants, but they all have pretty much the same menu of very ordinary offerings and unfortunately you're stuck with it. If you're looking for a hotel to drop and do nothing, and you're not fussed about your food, this may be okay. We were not that demographic, so the hotel did not really meet our requirements.
