Rested in August 2013 in a standard single room on the 1st floor (380 UAH). The staff is friendly, pleasant and unobtrusive. At the reception (Natalya Yuryevna, a man and a girl) there are very nice people, and the man who picked me up and took me to the station is also a very nice person. The room is very cramped, as a single, and they put another bed in there, plus two chairs and a table, and there is absolutely no space.

Rested in August 2013 in a standard single room on the 1st floor (380 UAH).
The staff is friendly, pleasant and unobtrusive. At the reception (Natalya Yuryevna, a man and a girl) there are very nice people, and the man who picked me up and took me to the station is also a very nice person.
The room is very cramped, as a single, and they put another bed in there, plus two chairs and a table, and there is absolutely no space. I think double rooms are more spacious. The bathroom is not very good, the plumbing is old, shabby, a lot of fungus. There is no glass for a toothbrush (probably they have this item worthy only of deluxe rooms) and it is clear that we are not talking about a set of cosmetics, only a bar of soap. The nice thing is that the bedding and towels (3 pieces per person) were changed every three days and cleaned, although the cleaning was very superficial. The air conditioner blows directly on the bed and lying on the bed with the air conditioner on is not very good, the windows do not open, only the door that opens onto the courtyard. At first I was very uncomfortable, but then I got used to it. In a word, normal, although dirty. And I also forgot, the TV remote control is just disgusting to hold in your hands, well, very dirty. In short, the girls don't bother with cleaning the room. Well, the soundproofing is bad.
Cafe is a separate issue. For a 3 star hotel, having such a dining room is simply not decent. This is the biggest negative in this story. The staff sleeps on the go, the service is terrible, it seems that these are random people and they have nothing to do with the profession of a waiter. Only dirty cutlery is removed from the tables, and the tables themselves are not wiped. In the morning you come for breakfast, tea is spilled on the table, dried spots are sweet, probably the day before yesterday, crumbs, etc. There is just a layer of gray dirt on the chairs, I rub it with my finger and it rolls off. The food is not very good. For breakfast, only white “loaf” is served bread, only black tea, and I don’t drink white bread or black tea, well, I had to. Milk porridge, there was no water, very sweet, pancakes are also very sweet, plus they are also sprinkled with powdered sugar, I personally didn’t go very sweet on an empty stomach in the morning. Of course, you can choose breakfast, but the food itself, regardless of the dish, was not very good. For lunch, I somehow ordered baked fish with vegetables, they brought it, it didn’t taste good, there was only bitterness, I still didn’t understand how it was possible to spoil a simple dish, and I ate Caesar salad in such a serving for the first time. And in general, after this meal, my stomach was twisting (well, it's all very individual). Well, then I went to have lunch at the hotel near the Mare Nero, it's delicious there, a set lunch (soup or borscht, chop, porridge or potatoes, salad) 48 UAH, if there is tea then 56 UAH. I even ate a lot.
And now the best part is the rooftop pool. He saved me, because I am allergic to the sun and I need to dose the time in the sun, and until you get to the sea, while back, then there is no time for swimming and sunbathing a little. The view is amazing, sea on one side and mountains on the other. The sunbeds, though dirty, but a towel and normal. Pool This is a plus that can slightly smooth out the shortcomings.
The hotel is located in the center, everything is nearby. In the Alupka park, you can wander endlessly. I went to a paid beach (30 UAH per adult and 15 per child). The beach is good. Excursions from 75 UAH.
The impression about the hotel is such that everyone seems to be trying and want the best, but it turns out as always. Although I do not rule out that if I go to Alupka, I will also consider this hotel, now I know all the pros and cons and understand what to expect and how to build my vacation.

Thank you very much for a nice holiday. I liked it very much! We rested in July-August 2013 with a family (2 adults + a child of 3 and 8 years old). Placed, explained everything, if any questions arose, everything was solved immediately. Everything is clean, linen changed 1 in 3 days - snow-white. The rooms are good: it turned out that we visited both the suite and the southern junior suite (210 and 202 rooms, respectively).

You can hear a slight, you can only hear those passing along the corridor. Special thanks to the Royalty hotel cafe - everything is very, very tasty! Thanks to Svetlana, thanks to the waitress Polina (You are wonderful). In general, the holiday was a success. The beach is far away (we went to the paid Ministry of Defense, but it is very clean), on foot for 15 minutes through Vorontsovsky Park - the nature is impressive) Back, however, uphill is hard! But be patient! !

We also just got back. The place is cool, the view is gorgeous, especially from the rooftop. Near the park, but in front of the park a couple of modern ruins. The staff was not ready for check-in, we arrived later than the check-in time, for a couple of hours, our room was just being cleaned. Cleaned up like this, for three.

They asked for glasses of champagne, brought 2 glasses, they said that's all there is. Also in the room, there were no bathrobes, slippers, shower gels, but that’s all right, they didn’t give toilet paper (((((With breakfast, we also didn’t have much - a portion of dumplings, a boutique with sausage and coffee or tea. We talked with people, the kitchen is not very good for everyone. Pool: Beautiful, the view is super, there is a place for smaller children, but it is lined with a mosaic that falls off slowly. They throw a lot of bleach into the pool, at 22.00 everyone sleeps, the pool is closed (((chaise lounges are all cracked. Well, in general, it's time to whiten the body, tint, and do a general cleaning, and not just knock down money according to the season.........

Just returned from Royalty, where we lived for almost a month. I confirm - the hotel is located in the center of old Alupka and next to the Vorontsov Palace. The view from the top terrace where the pool is is breathtaking! On the plus side, there are a lot of cafes, restaurants, shops nearby. Nearby are two beaches (min 10-15 almost crawling), the city is further away.

Just returned from Royalty, where we lived for almost a month. I confirm - the hotel is located in the center of old Alupka and next to the Vorontsov Palace. The view from the top terrace where the pool is is breathtaking!
On the plus side, there are a lot of cafes, restaurants, shops nearby. Nearby are two beaches (min 10-15 almost crawling), the city is further away. On the roof there is a swimming pool with water temperature - under 30 degrees, two levels - 1 m and 1.75 m. There are also sun loungers and mattresses. There are three dozen books on the table - detective stories and ladies' novels - so as not to be bored. From additional entertainment - table tennis, air hockey, crust. football, a couple of simulators. In the lobby you can buy ice cream, milkshake and espresso coffee, etc. The rooms are spacious (TV, refrigerator, air conditioning, electric kettle, electric heater - always hot water), the staff is friendly and helpful. Two breakfasts are included in the price, you can negotiate for an extra charge about lunches and dinners on order. For 10 UAH, breakfast or a romantic dinner is served from above on the terrace. Although it is 100 m to the same Karamba, Mare Nero is generally across the road, ATB opened nearby. In the hotel building there is an ATM of Privatbank.
All issues are resolved, any slips (we were once forgotten to give duvet covers) are resolved immediately. They go forward - we were not given a hair dryer, but if necessary, if you ask, they gave it. And shampoo too. If asked, they would give both bathrobes and slippers...
Of the minuses - the same cafes nearby do not let the rooms on the north side fall asleep until late with their music. The first floor, due to the difference in height, overlooks the patio (instead of a balcony, it turns out a bay window and also a patio with a clothes dryer) with flower beds, cypresses and other ficuses. Accordingly, the room is damp - this is an amateur (numbers 105-106). If you are not satisfied with the quality of cleaning - we hang acc. the plate on the door - will be removed on the trail. day (they clean and change the bed every three days).
Breakfast - standard - pancakes, dumplings, dumplings, omelettes, milk porridge, casseroles, etc. + instant coffee and tea (espresso 12 UAH) and a saucer with sausage-cheese-butter is simpler. There are no salads or fruits in breakfast. Waiters sometimes sleep, you should not be shy - to remind you of yourself.

It was the first time in Crimea. Together with her husband. The hotel was chosen based on reviews from the Internet were not mistaken. Very pleased. Lived in a double room. The shared balcony did not bother us at all, since in 10 days we had never encountered neighbors. The room has everything you need. And a hair dryer, and a kettle, and cups, and everything else.

Clean and change linen every three days. The cafe was only for breakfast. Everything is very tasty and satisfying. We dined either in Luna or in Magnolia. There is a lovely pool on the rooftop. Near Vorontsovsky park. New routes were opened every day. The general beach is cramped, but we went to the rocks and swam and caught crabs there. Walked all around. Nearby is a bus station from where minibuses go to Yalta and other interesting places. This year we plan to go there with the children.

Thank you for the service in Royalt!! ! The owners and employees are in their place! The location is good, in the center of Alupka. The "Vorontsovskie" beauties are 5 minutes walk away. Junior Suite North - large, beautiful, comfortable, fashionable. The bathroom is super. In the evening, live music is very disturbing, the room itself is a bit dusty.

Probably because at a discount they didn’t give slippers and a bathrobe. And . . it’s very important that there are almost no beaches in Alupka !! ! everything is paid . . (except for the city). you have to go to the rest of the free ones . . But the hotel has a gorgeous pool and views !!! ! the problem of the entire South Coast is the beaches ! ! national treasure PAID . .

Instead of a three-day booze at our own wedding, my wife and I decided to leave for the Crimea immediately after the registry office. I chose the hotel. After reviewing many offers from hotels and having studied a lot of reviews about them, the choice fell on Royalta. And as it turned out, not in vain. Perhaps I'll start from the beginning.

Instead of a three-day booze at our own wedding, my wife and I decided to leave for the Crimea immediately after the registry office. I chose the hotel. After reviewing many offers from hotels and having studied a lot of reviews about them, the choice fell on Royalta.
And as it turned out, not in vain. Perhaps I'll start from the beginning.
We called the administrator by phone and agreed on a double standard room, and since breakfast in the room only from April 29, we were offered a microwave oven (at the same time, without taking an additional fee for it, which was very surprising and delighted. Further, upon arrival by train to Simferopol the hotel administration advised us over the phone how best to get to them (bus number, where to transfer, where to go, etc. ). For those who do not want to reach for the buses, the hotel offers a transfer.
Upon arrival, we were settled in room 209 (east side, a beautiful view of the sea from the balcony), we paid off and began to settle down, as another pleasant surprise from the administration awaited us - a bottle of champagne. Then they learned from us our plans for the rest, and when we found out that we wanted to see the local beauties, they immediately offered to help with a tour agency. The excursions are simply magnificent (waterfalls, castles, mountains, a bit of history along the way, and the guide tells such an exciting story that you even listen to the biographies of Russian writers with admiration. The price of the excursion was 75 UAH per person - it's worth it.
Another thing I want to note is the responsiveness of the staff, you know, we had the feeling that we did not come to the hotel, but to relatives whom we had not seen for a long time. Every morning, leaving the room, we were asked our plans, and when we didn’t know what to do, they immediately offered a lot of places where it’s worth visiting (not an excursion, but “on our own”), for example, they suggested taking a ride to the Nikitinsky Botanical Garden, immediately explaining to what buses to get there.
I forgot to write about the location of the hotel. To the main gates of the Vorontsov Palace and the park - three minutes at a normal pace, five minutes if you are not in a hurry.
If the administration reads this review, I would like to say again - THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Vitaly and Irina.

We were looking for a hotel in Alupka (with a pool), which would be closer to the western sights of Crimea - Sevastopol + the surroundings, Bakhchisaray + the surroundings, and the Vorontsov Palace with a park (last year we rested in Alushta in "Fairy Tale"). We booked from Russia for a month, they offered only the option on the ground floor and with moving from room to room.

We were looking for a hotel in Alupka (with a pool), which would be closer to the western sights of Crimea - Sevastopol + the surroundings, Bakhchisaray + the surroundings, and the Vorontsov Palace with a park (last year we rested in Alushta in "Fairy Tale"). We booked from Russia for a month, they offered only the option on the ground floor and with moving from room to room. Conclusion - you need to book two months in advance! At first, we lived in suite 112 - an excellent room, two separate rooms, two air conditioners, two TV sets, a refrigerator, a microwave, a large balcony. Four are comfortable. Then we moved to junior suite 113. To be honest, I didn’t like it, there was an unpleasant smell in the toilet, the layout itself was not very good. No microwave (in the Fairy Tale with the same area it is more comfortable). Liked: - excellent and helpful staff (we arrived a day late, agreed on a discount for the first day; you can pay for the room for rubles); - in general a good and tidy hotel (small but modern); - a good cafe on the ground floor (on average for four 300-400gr); - a great view from the roof where the pool is; - availability of parking; the rooms were cleaned well, linen and towels were changed; excellent balconies with tables and sun loungers; - 5min to the Vorontsov Palace and park. A wish to the staff: to update the equipment in the bathroom (everything works, but every 3-5 years it is worth changing something). Tip for vacationers - take rooms with sea views on the 2nd-3rd floors and book in advance! (Northern rooms overlook the cafe, and there until 12 at night the music rumbles, it will interfere).
