I am from Toronto, Canada and I’m an elite level traveller, due to my business. I have travelled extensively in North America and Europe. When I do not travel on business and I am alone, I stay mostly in 4-Star hotels. And, I like to stat outside of the city center … but, not too far. The Royal Hotel was outstanding in this regard. The room was amazing (king sized bed), the shower worked great, the pool was amazing with ample, on-site parking. The breakfast variety was great too. Although I do speak Greek, I “tested” the staff by speaking English and they were very accommodating. Awesome staff. I will definitely stat here again when in Thessaloniki.
