We stayed in Hotel Royal for ten days - the breakfast was very good with quite a variety of food - fruit, ceral, breads, meat & sweets, etc. The room we had was very clean. The owners & staff were very friendly and helpful during our stay.
The hotel is situated near several very good restaurants & a short walk to the shops and gondola lifts.
If the opportunity arises we would definitely stay in this hotel again.

This small hotel is in the best possible location in Cortina. In the center of the town, inside the "pedestrian only" part and close to everything. It has a parking lot and if you are a guest of the hotel you can drive there. I had a B&B fare, which is good because in Cortina you can find good restaurants, and the breakfast was OK (nothing ultra-fancy, but not disapointing). The hotel is clean, common dependances and rooms/bathrooms, but the furnishing is quite old and irregular accross rooms.
Our bathrooms (we were in 3 in 2 rooms) were big and clean, but had only a bath tub with no shower-box. Disaster. Every shower turned the bathroom into a swimming pool, not to mention the unpleasent experience of showering with the mini-shower in your hand and trowing water everywhere, water in fact that we had to clean after the shower, using the towels available.

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Hotel Royal in January. We called in advanced and booked a double bedroom with the hotel directly. While on the phone we inquired about parking, alerting them to the fact that we would be arriving late in the evening. We were reassured that it would be no problem to obtain parking upon arrival. Once arriving to the hotel, we were rudely informed that parking was not included and had to be found on our own. The receptionist was very rude and unhelpful. Regarding our room (#45), there was a horrible sewage smell coming from the bathroom, since it was late in the evening we could not change hotels. We informed the reception and they assured us that they would look into the matter the next morning while we were skiing. Upon our return nothing had changed, only that the odor had worsen. The hotel owner was also very rude and informed us that this was a small hotel and he was not able to fix the problem. No apologies were given, just his rude statement. We would never stay in this hotel again.

We chose the Royal for it's central location and went 3* as it was the only Hotel in the brochure which did B&B as we wanted to eat out each evening and try differant restaurants.

I think this could be a great hotel. The location is great. The decor is sad. Each room is differant as we tried 3 during our 7 night stay. Our first room was okay, the furnishings were heavy and badly designed and bathroom needed updating. On our return to our hotel on the 3rd day we were informed that the ceiling in our room had collapsed onto our things and they had moved us to another room next door. This room had Pine cupboards floor to ceiling was dark and felt grubby. The bathroom hadn't been updated since the 1970's, was not of quality and the shower head had been chewed by a pet and left for the next customers, also the bathroom door had claw scratchings where they must have locked it up. Also on moving rooms we were now above a 'cellar bar' which played loud and drumming music to 4am. This time we requested a move, we were given a delightful room, which was at the back, it was bright, had a veranda, clean bathroom with a window, although still with cheap fittings. If we had just of had the first room it would have been fine, if we had been given the 2nd room for the whole of the stay, our review would have been awful. If we had been given the 3rd room from day one our review would have been better. However all rooms did have mechanical safes and we did go out of the hotel for our breakfast on 2 mornings for a change.
