We stayed here for 2 nights in May 2007 for 58 euros each night. Its a good location across from the lovely park. We found it easily, short walk from bus station. When we left, we took a cab to the train station although you can walk if you don't have too much luggage.

Communication with the front counter staff was a bit awkward, we don't speak Spanish and his english was the worst we encountered. That's not really his fault at all, we are visitors after all. It was awkward because he didn't seem too confident in our reservation print out we gave him, but in the end he gave us our room key.

There was breakfast included in our stay, we didn't know this and missed it the first day. The same counter guy was confused why we didn't go the first day and informed us that it was included so we went the second day. Breakfast was nothing spectacular, but free is good. It's set up like a school cafeteria style.

We will probably stay at a nicer place next time. Ronda is beautiful and great. The town's Info center was helpful with free maps and where to find internet. I was surprised that the shopping was great - I bought many pairs of shoes - had to stop myself from getting more. For food, Traga Tapas has fantastic tapas.

Very clean and friendly,first drawback was that we had to walk a fair distance for breakfast at another hotel, it advertised Bed & Breakfast, second drawback, it also so advertised ample parking, but we had to go about a half a kilometer to a public underground car park, which we had to pay extra for, this was not stated on the hotel website.

I have stayed at the Royal on three occasions when in Ronda on a short break, ususally 1 or 2 nights. The hotel is in a prime location, just opposite the park and approx 150 metres from the Bull Ring, ideally placed for shopping and some great restaurants and bars. Breakfast isn't included in the rate, but there is a great cafe just downstairs, as well as a really friendly tiny little bar. The public areas in the hotel are all immaculate, with marble staircases and wide hallways. The rooms are on the smaller side, with just the basics, but they are clean and practical and the beds are comfy. The staff are first class and cannot do enough to help. Highly recommended for travellers on a budget.
