Reviews for Royal Phuket City Hotel
Review 1:Hotel (especially breacfast room) was crowded with chinese tourists in December 2015 but it didn't bother us that much.
Review 2:Nice location and ok size pool to relax after a walk in the Old Town. Nice view from the hotel room towards the city. Nice hotel compared to the price we payed.
Review 3:Nthg
Review 4:It is not a 4 star hotel it's a five star hotel we stayed three days in room 1510 Excellent view the room is big and cosy bathroom is very big toiletries are great in amount with 2 umberalls near to every beautiful things except the beach no drunk people :) big swimming pool ... I stayed in 4 different hotels in Thailand the most beautiful breakfast I had here in this hotel even if you need item not included ( open buffet ) just tell them they bring it for you for free near shopping center .. Robinson ...watsons everything opposite to it wonderful seafood restaurant I must thank the hotel manager and staff because after we checked out we left our luggage for three days because we booked in a coral island resort so , we didn't want to carry our luggage through boat
Review 5:i am vegetarian there is nothing in breakfast for asian vegetarian as well as language is a biggest problem nobody understands English.
Review 6:service is very good cleanliness is good.
Review 7:Breakfast was awful, the coffee undrinkable. You're better off going to the restaurant downstairs and buying breakfast there - which shows they can make decent food, they just don't bother when it comes to the 'free' one.
Review 8:Great place to stay if you're taking an early ferry to the islands the next day. Pool was okay but no drinks service.
Review 9:Half hour holiday they put clorine in the pool so we couldn't swim but that couldn't of been helped I guess
Review 10:At first the language barriers were pretty difficult but after a day or two you get certain workers that put out a little more than the others to try and greet you in English or remember your favourite meals (the cook in the buffet remembered exactly how I liked my omelette). The men and women in the down stairs resturant were really friendly and made us feel really taken care of. Overall a really good stay and I can't wait to go again

Review 31:location
Review 32:Dated rooms including odd red grout in the bathroom Not that close to shops
Review 33:Great staff Good breakfast Good restaurant downstairs
Review 34:Staff requested 500 THB on arrival for room card and said they would return money on check out, this did not happen so i called and I will hopefully pick it up on my neck business trip
Review 35:Gym
Review 36:No free WiFi
Review 37:Sufficient parking place next to hotel, great lobby area, large rooms with a nice view of Phuket. Room service very fast. Breakfast buffet I believe on the 19th floor was good enough. Check-in was easy and fast, they do ask for 500bht cash in case you take something from the minibar and are unable to pay for it afterwards. On checking out they ask what you take from the minibar, and they believe you instantly which is sometimes different. The hotel bar looks nice and drinks very reasonably prices. The location is not near to a beach but downtown Phuket, so if you are looking for a beach, don't use this hotel. Downtown Phuket does not have much to offer. This hotel is definetely value for money, very popular with the Chinese.
Review 38:Everything else - our sheets were stained and the floors were covered in dirt and unknown hair. Not at all in line with western standards.
Review 39:We liked the live kareoke band
Review 40:Not very clean area around.
Review 41:It is a good place, to be in Phuket for a short time. Hotel good, clean big room, breakfest appropriate. I not recommend to these whose can spend the time at the beach because it is far away.
Review 42:- hotel staff's Has no information about the city and attractions. - hotel rooms was very old and some of the facilities was broken and useless. - The windows of the rooms was locked so no fresh air. - A/C was noisy. - no soap in bath room. They are using low quality shampoo and shower gel in the bath room. - I think the hotel are suitable for chinesse because 90% of the guests was chinesse which they're coming in groups and sorry to say that but they're always talking loudly everywhere. - no shuttle for city. - they have to renovate the hotel. - do not recommended it at all.
Review 43:It is on middle of old phuket.
Review 44:The room was not very clean and looked a bit old. Ripped curtain in the shower, old towels. The hotel is ok for a 1-2 nights stopover but I wouldn't want to stay there much longer.
Review 45:Spacious room! There is a small restaurant/coffee shop that is open from early morning until midnight downstairs, so you can grab a decent dinner without leaving the hotel (we didn't notice any open restaurants within 5 min walking distance at 11 pm, so were very happy to have this option). Convenient location if you are stopping over in Phuket on your way to Phi Phi island, the trip to the ferry station takes less than 10 min.
Review 46:Every thing was old. There was very noisy place. The staff were not helpful and and the service was not at the good level. materials were very old and not clean... will never ever go there again...
Review 47:Only Location
Review 48:The rooms are old and almost everything is broken. There is an hugecrack in the window, the chairs almost fall apart, the bathroom is oldand certainly not well cleaned. The location and surrounding is notgreat at all, Phuket town is a dead city, better go to Patang Beach!
Review 49:The swimmingpool and the lobby look great
Review 50:Unfortunately our room had recently been varnished we think, this normally should be a plus bit the fumes were very strong and it wasn't possible to open any windows. We notified the reception, but all they did was send up a bell boy with a thin of air freshener. If we weren't so tired I would requested a room change. The hotel does not offer free Wifi which is poor.
Review 51:Efficient check in and help with our luggage. Nice selection of breakfast foods. Cafe in the lobby stays open till late which was good as we arrived late.
Review 52:Terrible terrible front office staff. 40 minutes in the check-in and 35 minutes in the check-out! Pleaseeee, change/train your staff!
Review 53:Ok value for money.
Review 54:The corridors needed an upgrade.
Review 55:Central location, well kept rooms. The breakfast showed reasonable variation, but would benefit from good bread (instead of just white toastbread) and fresh orange juice being added.
Review 56:The staff at the front desk did not speak very good English and gave conflicting and wrong information about the boat service to the islands, which is the reason many people stay at the at hotel.
Review 57:The hotel has many floors and it seems like some of the floors on thetop aren´t used much. We got a room at the 17th floor and it seemed likeno one had been there for a while, so it was pretty stuffy and dusty.The carpets in the halls are really weird but c´mon, thats not much tocomplain about.
Review 58:We chose this hotel because we were going to Phi Phi the next day and itwas close to Rassada Pier. If you want the beach, this isn´t it. It´salso close to a day market, pharmacy, atm and 7-eleven. Classy hotelwith mostly business travelers. The lobby can arrange taxi service aswell as boat tickets and the staff is very helpful. The restaurant isgreat and the lobby provides a cheesy karaoke (drunk-drank-drunker-karaoke). The pool, spa and gym is really nice. Breakfast is good.
Review 59:The foyer is a masterpiece-but cold as an icebox! The windows cannot open.
Review 60:The pool was nice and clean
Review 61:Food was average.
Review 62:Pool and gym was great!
Review 63:The hallways and the rooms were old and had a really bad smell from the carpet.
