The Hotel was fabulous- set in beautiful grounds; great breakfasts; charming and helpful staff... only downsides are that it is up a steep hill or flights of stairs- so less good if there are any mobility problems. Also, soundproofing is not great between the rooms- otherwise though, we loved it!

This was our 3rd stay, Hotel staff are very nice, however a couple of items of note! I truly don’t mind paying a premium but do take exception when they charge €12 for one Peroni beer, I don’t pay that in Monaco, I’m there for the Monaco Yacht Show. The main restaurant was a let down not the service, again staff are a pleasure, however the standard of the food, was at best fair ish! The €18 Crepes not even warm, pre cooked with a congealed source. Overhaul a 4 out of 10! Disappointed!

Very nice hotel, clean and in great location. The staff is very friendly. The only downside is that once it gets crowded, you will not get a spot at the nearby beach ( a voucher is needed), at the pool or in the dining area during breakfast. Perhaps, it is better during off season.

Beautiful property- especially walking out the revolving door that was a bit hard to push BUT the view once out is breathtaking. The outdoor pool was damaged in some areas and it was too hot (not refreshing) with no depth label. Food was great and staff was excellent. My bathroom tub had a half glass door and the toilet was small and low colliding with door. My balcony did not really have a view as it was covered by trees. Still this is a great hotel with a stunning view and would recommend! Loved the guy playing the piano and all the beautiful jewelry displays in lobby.

After two days of terrible and very rude service I asked for the manager. Not a kind word from him. And the final straw - “we don’t need you” He kept harping that there are rules and if I don’t like it Iu can “go away” but the intent was much ruder. While the rules are indeed rules there’s a way of communicating. This hotel management clearly creates a rude atmosphere. . As soon as I spoke with the manager the issue was clear. Other things that I would not have complained about were it not for the complete lack of respect and professionalism from the management include being told that there were no tables for dinner but there were many that remained empty and we were sat after pointing this out. Rude front desk even from the first encounter. Finally the pool area is truly horrific and requires a serious update.
Response from Management Royal Hotel Sanremo on Jun 30, 2023
Dear Guest,Thank you for your review, your opinion is very important and sharing it gives us the opportunity to share our side as well.Unfortunately, we must disagree regarding the fact that you were following all the rules; the staff of the restaurant has politely informed you that it was not possible to have lunch at the restaurant in swimsuit and, despite your overreaction towards our employee, the restaurant staff has offered you, again politely, the possibility to move to a table of our snack bar where no dress code is required.The general manager has just reiterated a policy that was already explained to you, valid for all our guests and that has never represented a problem for those guests who are frequent visitors of luxury Hotels and therefore already used to a dress code.Lastly, we are sure that contrary to what stated in your review, you have enjoyed Royal Hotel Sanremo indeed, you have even extended your stay with an additional night and after a late check out requested by you and allowed by us free of charge, you have spent the rest of the afternoon by that “terrible” pool! Looking forward to welcoming you back to Royal Hotel Sanremo.Kindest Regards,Management Royal Hotel Sanremo

Dated and not in a good way
This hotel seems to be resting on its laurels and historic past but not in a good way. The pool deck is uneven and feels rickety. The wood floor in the room was pretty but very creaky to the point where when waking around on it, we woke up our sleeping baby several times. Coffee service at breakfast comes in beautiful silver (?) containers that are extremely hot to the touch (use a napkin to pour your coffee or risk burning your hand). Property exterior is peeling. Interior of our room had poorly patched paint jobs on the ceiling and nicks in the paneling around the door. Hammam in the spa was broken our entire 3 night stay. Gym has very dated equipment that’s practically unusable. EV charger comes at an additional cost. Front desk and housekeeping staff were helpful but the property itself felt very dated. We’ve stayed at several nicer hotels and this is not worth the price.

Hotel period grandeur and staff try there best but not 5 star in all aspects mainly due to needing to be updated. Pool area needs updating. Old rugs in reception and lounges easy to trip! Spa massage was excellent and spa facilities lovely. Meals overpriced. Lots of steps to road/ beach. Town unimpressive unless you like casino which is a 5 min walk and again in a grand building.

A grand, impressive hotel with excellent service and attention to detail. The pool is unique and is amazing to swim in. There is plenty of choice when it comes to relaxing by the pool, complimented with great views of the sea. Staff are all very friendly, every single member of staff greets you and makes you feel welcome. It is an old hotel, and the room decor was a little worn in places, but very comfortable, especially the beds. We reported a problem with the TV in our room, and when it was confirmed it needed repairing, a replacement TV appeared in minutes.

Dear Myriam, I refer to your review concerning your recent stay in July and I would like to thank you very much for the preference given to the Royal Hotel Sanremo and for taking time and trouble to share your experience. We constantly strive to meet our clients’ needs and expectations and both positive and negative comments are welcome and useful to improve our standards. I took note of the negative issues you put in evidence and I regret to learn that your stay wasn’t as you expected. At the same time, please allow me to clarify our position regarding your comments. The hotel is not “outdated” as stated in your various reviews, and it is quite unusual to book a famous historical hotel with its own style and tradition celebrating its 150th Anniversary this year, and expect an anonymous modern hotel. We devote with pleasure many efforts and passion to keep our hotel always appealing, providing our clients an exclusive and emotional experience being rewarded by their renewed preference and fidelity. Your point of view is of course legitimate, but questionable as I think in general it is rather a matter of taste and style. Referring to quality levels, please consider that our hotel has always been rated 5-star luxury and it is certified annually by the mistery guest of the “The Leading Hotels of the World” who carries out the anonymous inspection to assess compliance with the strict standards. The latest audit took place on March 2022 and everything was found to be in perfect line. It is possible, however, that sometimes, despite all our efforts, any inconvenience or trouble may always arise especially during our peak season with the maximum occupancy. Your request to have a voucher for the beach has been promptly satisfied. After that, you requested another place on the beach but, unfortunately the available vouchers were already finished. You also requested to have hotel towels at your disposal on the beach, and we promptly send one of our pool attendants to deliver them to you. Since our staff understood your disappointment, the Reception Manager took the initiative to offer free tickets for a unique performance by a famous international singer at the Ariston theatre, located at walking distance from the hotel. Your husband appreciated but declined the invitation, letting us know that on the next day you would like to leave early. It was your own decision to anticipate the departure and, as clearly specified in the reservations conditions, there is no refund for unused nights. Your comment regarding the staff goes against several positive feedbacks highlighting the kindness and courtesy of the staff, which is well trained in problem solving. I am sure that discerning readers and travellers are able to evaluate your reviews and to make their own opinion giving the right weight to your comments. Feeling confident that our position has been clarified, I would be delighted to welcome you again in the future assuring you that

After spending a nice few days in Stresa we came to this place. The difference could not have been bigger. The property is outdated, swimming pool old, overcrowded, rude staff (with the exception of cleaning staff), room (junior suite) was basically a tiny room with a long hallway. What bothered us the most was the overall treatment (rude) the randomness of how things were done (or not done), how requests were forgotten. It all came down to lack of real management ant the arrogance of being in “a popular place”. First and last time. (By the way, we already mentioned this - we got offered two tickets to some show, which we kindly refused. We left a day earlier than planned - and fully paid)

All you dream of in terms of a hotel!
This place was AMAZING! If you want to feel like a king and queen being pampered, this is your hotel. Best experience during our 3.5 week road trip through Europe. We arrived for the last night they were open for the season but the service was still second to none. I can't say good enough things about this hotel and its personnel! All experiences, including the spa and the whirlpool, and dining, were top notch.
