Wanivee Malaysia

The location, the rooms, the history behind the property and food in the hotel deserves a Thumbs Up 👍🏻

Kevin Malaysia

Good place and easy to find, near to town and attractive places. Nice and clean pool, rooms and good staff rapport . Recommended to all.

Mfaza Malaysia

- The staffs are really friendly. They made a really nice impression - The room is spacious

Nur Malaysia

Food at coffe house is super-cheap. (Dine-in or Take away then eat in room). And, the staff doing maintenance/cleaning of the swimming pool is friendly.

Noor Malaysia

Everything nice but maybe we are staying for almost 2 weeks, it quite bored to eat the same breakfast every day. But All in All, all nice especially the staff who try so hard to accommodate our stay to a better room. Thank you again!. Surely, if we wish to have another long stay, Royale Chulan should be on the list, tops.

Nurfarihin Malaysia

The location. It is walking distance to the esplanade, the old town, little India, Chulia street hawker center.

Yenn Malaysia

Check-in was smooth, staff was warm and friendly. Since I was traveling with my grandmother, they offered wheelchair throughout our stay. Breakfast manager (I think, he look rather superior) was warmest. Room was clean, white sheets and soft pillows. Check-out was smooth as well.

Rmk Qatar

Everything about this hotel was great. Fullfill all my expectation.
