    “The room truly lived up to its “Royal” name—very spacious, elegant, and thoughtfully designed. It was beautifully lit by two large windows offering a great view of the Capitol Hill building. There was plenty of room to move around and comfortably accommodate all our luggage, with ample tables, chairs, and stands. The bathroom, bar amenities, and wardrobe were neatly tucked away in a separate alcove, making the room feel even more spacious and well organised. The location was excellent, and the hotel lobby was another highlight. It was a beautiful space to relax and take in the impressive ceiling details, grand pillars, classic furniture, and elegant interiors. The same timeless design continued through to the hotel’s fine-dining restaurants, giving the property a truly classic and luxurious feel.”
