Grand Hotel Royal - Viareggio, Italy 

The hotel is excellent for a peaceful and relaxing stay in Viarregio,with it's excellent transport connections to Pisa and Florence for some essential if hectic sightseeing. The decor of the hotel is more like a private club,and we found the staff to be very attentive to our requirements,and with good local knowledge.Rooms are nicely furnished and we were lucky to have a balcolny overlooking the seafront. With the shops and beach litterally across the road,the location is superb. Food in the restaurant is of a very high standard,and changes each evening to give a great variety,the menu is very varied and with excellent english translation. I would strongly reccomend this hotel if you are planning a holiday in this location.

This is one of the most beautiful hotels we have ever stayed at. The location was gorgeous, the staff was pleasant and incredibly helpful in making dinner reservations and assisting with travel suggestions. The hotel's guest sunbathing area on the beach was stunning too. Our room was squeaky clean with beautiful high ceilings, a large washroom, a lovely view of the pool and garden area and spacious enough for myself, my hubby and toddler. The breakfast was incredible in the morning with lots of choices of juices, hot and cold selections and cereals. I cannot say enough good things about this hotel...it made our stop in Viareggio well worth the journey!
