Elegant and charming hotel. A little old and not up to date but the charm and history are great. Just beside the Port de France and right outside the Medina. Perfect location. A little lower standard of breakfast than I’m used to but good enough. I really recommend it!
Wonderful breakfast and service in the restaurant. Manager Lotti was extremely helpful in arranging transportation and tours. House keeping did a nice job of making my room inviting at all times. Thank you for an excellent stay! Scott Stevens/ USA
We were treated like family. Wonderful, friendly staff. Beautiful hotel.

Unique hotel with nice rooms with balconies looking out to the main square. The rooms and bathrooms are little run down. For the price this hotel is excellent and is in a great location. Breakfast buffet is a typical MENA hotel breakfast; cheese, meats, salad and pastries.
Ideally placed at the border of the Medina, convenient restaurant in the first floor, antique elevator, very helpful and friendly staff. No hot water in the shower but room was clean, air conditioning was great, small balcony wonderful for watching people in the plaza

I loved the location of the hotel. The hotel is a little “tired” but makes up for it in its unique character.
Royal Victoria is just so beautiful! It is located right at the entrance of a busy market, walking distance to many restaurants and servicves. The staff members are always warm and nice. Their hotel restaurant serves very good food, we ate there every day. I highly recommend the hotel.
Right on the edge of the medina and the French quarter so perfect for shopping and eating. Clean hotel, comfortable bed, good shower and very friendly and helpful staff

The gateway to the Medina. It is the perfect location. The staff are attentive and helpful. An oasis after a hot and dusty day exploring the Medina.

This was ok. Breakfast was very good in good location but hotel needs to fix air conditioning
The location of this hotel is perfect: it really is right next to the medina, and the people-watching is great. The staff are super friendly. The only disappointment was the breakfast.
Excellent central location to the downtown area. Everything is in walking distance.
Not recommended if you require parking but easy to come and go in a taxi.
