Hotel Villa Royale

Public transportation was convenient. The hotel was okay. Absolutely no extras in the room - no iron or ironing board and no water boilers or coffee chaines. The showers are open door with no shower curtains - in other words, every shower results in a mini-flood. Staff is friendly and right across the street is another hotel with a nice bar and lounge area that seems to have sympathy for us poor folk staying across the street. The hotel is located in a very ethnic neighborhood with great food Middle Eastern and Turkish options.

Nice breakfast, with relatively good choice. Room is large enough. There is optional electric heating if required. Hotel is located very close (walking distance) to the railway station Gare du Noord. Also the city center is not far.

I came late and I was a little bit sick because of the trawling and it was really cold outside. The receptionist was very kind. He poured camomile tea. That was something that I really needed and it recovered me. So compliments to the staff. They were very kind and I always respond to kindness. I stayed one night. It was very clean and comfy.

Helpful reception, elevator to go to the rooms, good size room, large bathroom with walk in shower, wi-fi was good, breakfast was quite good. The bed was really comfortable, room was clean, there was a real air conditioner in the room so I could choose the temperature that was perfect for me. Overall, the experience was better than what I expected.
