I had a pleasant stay at Royal Atlantic, thanks to its prime location in Sea Point and the spaciousness of the self-catering unit. The daily cleaning service was a nice touch, but I found the Wi-Fi access quite limiting and the shower pressure to be underwhelming. Overall, while there are areas for improvement, the convenience and comfort of my accommodation made up for it.

My stay at Royal Atlantic was a mix of great experiences and some areas that could use improvement. The hotel’s location is excellent, just a short walk from the promenade and local shops, which I loved. However, the unit I stayed in felt a bit outdated and could really benefit from a facelift. Overall, it provided a clean and safe place for my stay, though the bed was uncomfortable initially, it was replaced immediately upon my request.
