“nice hotel in affordable price”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

The hotel is nice and safe. Security guards are on every floor. Receptionist is very helpful. The room is excellent for the price. The restaurant is okay, the food at the restaurant is very expensive. But free breakfast is okay. Taxi and Tuktuk are always available outside of the main door. I paid $50 per night. The night life is not far away. The casino is waste of time.

“Nice hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012

Royal Court Hotel is a nice hotel, with decent facilities, beautiful reception area and decent sized rooms. The service was nice as well. It was good value for money.

However, I do have some complaints. One, the flush in the toilets weren't working properly. We had to yank the lever three-four times before it worked. Two, the lifts in the hotel are very small (i.e. not ideal for those prone to claustrophobia) and malfunctioning. One time the lift doors only opened half and remained there for 5-10 seconds before opening properly.

Rest, all was fine.

Room Tip: Don't forget to take a hair and tooth brush. It isn't part of the amenities they provide.

“Convenient place to stay for Bussiness traveller with no frills.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 October 2011

person found this review helpful

I am staying here for the first time. The staff are very friendly. The rooms are okay although more towels would have been nice. The shower is great. :-) the casino is dank with a musty smell no air conditioning with seedy looking clients. Definitely a no- go. The roof top bar offers a great view of town & the small pool is quaint albeit no privacy.

“Ok but pricey”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 June 2011

people found this review helpful

Rooms are really small with skimpy service (eg, 1 towel for a double room & 1 extremely tiny soap) and in need of repair; shower extremely tiny, internet access ridiculously priced (about extra $15 per day). Double room was 80 usd; there is better value within walking distance

Positves; quiet rooms, air conditioned, decent fitness center, excellent food (kudos to the chef)
