Once you get outside of the capitol of Trinidad, Port of Spain, the quality of commercial hotels drops rapidly. The Royal Hotel definitely falls into that description. The people are certainly nice. Barely serviceable is about the best I can say about the room. Cleanliness issues and sink problems marred the bathroom. A roving ant colony and a few centipedes... More

This was just shy of a week stay at the Royal Hotel. The price of the room included the continental breakfast. The rooms were a good size with ceramic flooring. The washroom was very functional and there was a real door to the room. The extras were that they had soap, shampoo, water bottles, instant coffee/tea, an electric kettle and... More

The Royal Hotel is a pleasant oasis amidst bustling San Fernando. Its not perfect, but it does have caribbean charm that you won't find in any hotel chain. The food was good. The bar was nice, as was the pool. Some of the staff could be friendlier but I was okay with that. I stayed 3 nights. More people should... More

I spent about six days at this hotel accompanying my husband on a business trip, Like the other reviewers, the hotel is not one to shout home about, but it is clean and comfortable. I found the staff very pleasant and helpful. Since I stayed in the room for long periods, whenever the cleaners came (and they came at reasonable... More

I stayed for one night at the Royal Hotel on a recent business trip. There is a decent reception with decent staff. Nothing to shout home about, but service was not too bad. The room was down beside the road entrance area, and its a long walk back there during the rainy season!! BEWARE of the road noise with loud... More

I normally don't take the time to review hotels despite being a seasoned traveller. However, I was so appalled by the service and staff at this hotel, that I felt compelled to comment. I have never encountered such a rude and disrespectful concierge (apparently she is the "accountant"). This raving lunatic has anger issues and unleashed her wrath when I... More

I stayed at this hotel for 4 nights with my family recently. First off, they placed us in a room that was recently painted so the paint fumes was overwhelming. And by the next morning we asked to be moved. On top of that, the maintenance staff woke us up at around 6 a.m. with their constant chatter and noise.... More

I stayed @ this hotel early part of August for 4 nights together with 2 other family members. Due to substantially delayed flight we checked in around 3:00 am and had to pay for an extra day. Service was okay by housekeeping staff, servers BUT NOT front desk staff/management. The pool was unavailable and under repairs for our entire stay... More

My wife and I moved to this hotel the second week of my business activity in Trinidad and was greeted by very friendly staff, a very charming hotel with the open air concept of what a Caribbean Hotel should look like. Turn of the century ambiance with the main building structure located on nice grounds. Dining room and bar great,... More
