The hotel is located directly across from the beach and has a good pool and garden area. There are busy/noisy roads both to the front and back of the hotel. We stayed in this hotel about 10 years ago and got a room with a balcony to the side of the hotel which still had a sea view. This time our room had a sea view but was on the 5th floor with no balcony and a very small shower unit. My husband and I are both small people and found it uncomfortably small. The room in general was disappointing when compared to the room we had last time. Breakfasts were quite good, although the hot breakfasts had a limited range on options. The staff are friendly and helpful.

Excellent Hotel, well situated.

Pros: Grand in all senses of the word - high ceilings, well appointed, attentive and friendly staff.
Cons: Room safes could be increased in size to take full size laptops. Better range of lunchtime snacks.
Location: On promenade, close to shops, large public nature area to the rear. Cycle path for miles along the promenade and cycles for hire from hotel.
Excellent hotel, friendly efficient staff, close to beach and in easy reach of the station. Airport bus stops right outside. Well situated on the sea front. Restaurant very reasonably priced and food excellent. Pleasant bar area. well appointed rooms. Efficient reception area.

Hotel in a true 'Grand' style with Victorian charm

Pros: Location, staff, rooms.
Cons: Some areas are starting to look a little tired, and could do with redecoration.
Location: Public Transport from Viareggio to Pisa, Lucca and other places of interest, is excellent. The Hotel has a bus stop immediately outside.
One of the most striking hotels on the Viareggio strip. Hotel has a very positive bygone age feel about it - don't expect chrome, glass and all things nouveau, but more of an elegance and classic air. Rooms are very good, with all that you'd expect from a quality hotel. Breakfast buffet is not to be missed, and if you're B&B only, then the snack bar is great for filling up before making other plans for an evening meal. Outdoor pool is excellent - well maintained, always clean, and managed very well. Garden adds more area to relax, sit back and just chill. Reception and all staff were polite and always ready to help with thoughtful ideas and suggestions for days out, restaurants etc. The Grand Hotel Royal is extremely well run, occupies a superb location, and has everything expected of such a hotel. Recommended.

Sehr freundliches Personal, von der Rezeption , zum Barkeeper und dem Reinigungspersonal. Die Zimmer sind sehr groß und geräumig. Die Bäder haben noch den alten Charme, was mir persönlich gut gefiel. Das Wasser war nicht sehr warm und duschen kostetet erst etwas Überwindung. Aber das ging auch nach ner Weile. Kein Mega stylisches Hotel sondern ein Hotel mit viel Flair. Wir hatten unser Zimmer zum Meer hinaus. Das war sehr schön aber etwas laut, durch den Auto Verkehr. Insgesamt haben wir uns super wohl gefühlt und ich kann es gut weiter empfehlen.

Hôtel vintage, bon rapport qualité-prix

Pros: Hôtel spacieux, grande chambre La piscine le personnel de la réception toujours prêt à donner des renseignements
Cons: La déco et le mobilier sont à rafraichir.
Location: Hôtel à proximité une grande pinède où il faut bon se promener. Visite des Cinque Terre en bateau.
Hôtel bien situé à Viareggio, très vintage, déco vieillotte, mobilier fatigué qui mériterait rénovation. En revanche, hôtel très spacieux, grande chambre propre, Wifi ok. Petit déjeuner copieux et varié. Très beau jardin avec belle piscine et transats en suffisance. Bar et possibilité de manger au bord de la piscine. Tout le personnel est très attentif et sympathique. Parking fermé à l'hôtel où l'on peut laisser sa voiture en sécurité pour 15 Eu par jour. Possibilité de louer des vélos (vintage également !) pour 8 Eu par jour. Transats et parasol peuvent être loués par l'Hôtel au Bagno Annita pour 20 Eu par jour. Viareggio est une ville plaisante, bord de mer bien aménagé avec grande promenade pédestre, boutiques, et une voie réservée pour les vélos.
