I had a mixed experience at Primi Royal. While the location near the beach and restaurants was fantastic, my stay was overshadowed by several issues in the room and service. The private swimming pool was dirty, making it unusable, and I faced noise disturbances from breakfast preparations in the morning. Additionally, a lack of attention to detail in room maintenance was disappointing.

Rooms

6.0

My superior room was spacious and featured a comfortable king bed, but it was located near the communal lounge, leading to noise disturbances. The bathroom design offered no privacy, and the plunge pool didn't have any lounging furniture, making it less enjoyable.

Service

The staff were friendly and some were incredibly helpful, like the team member who lent me a charging adapter. However, I found the overall service inconsistent, with minimal communication about breakfast options and a lack of assistance with my luggage when the elevator malfunctioned.

The hotel's location was a major highlight for me, being just a 5-minute walk to the beach and various restaurants, yet still maintaining a peaceful atmosphere.

Breakfast was made to order but was quite basic, with limited options. It could have been better given the overall expectations.

Facilities

The facilities included a private swimming pool, but it was dirty, which was disappointing. The lack of comfortable lounging options near the pool detracted from the overall experience.

Breakfast had its highs and lows; while the homemade sausages were good, I was disappointed when they ran out of some ingredients on my last day.

Facilities

The plunge pool was quite small and not relaxing due to a noisy filter, and I expected more lounging options.

I had a wonderful time during my eight-day stay at Primi Royal in Cape Town. The location was absolutely perfect, just a short stroll from the beautiful Camps Bay strip. the views from my room were stunning. However, I did notice that the hotel could use a bit of a makeover, as some of the furniture and decor felt a bit worn. Despite a few hiccups with the water supply, I found the staff to be friendly and genuinely accommodating, making my experience quite enjoyable.

My stay at Primi Royal was a mixed bag. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the beach and local dining spots. However, I faced some significant drawbacks, like noise from breakfast preparations. The room was spacious and came with a lovely private balcony and plunge pool, but maintenance issues detracted from the experience.

The hotel's location is a standout, right on the beachfront and close to everything. making it easy to explore the area. I loved being just a stroll away from the beach and restaurants.

Breakfast was pretty basic. not living up to what I had anticipated based on online photos. It lacked variety and didn't offer the fresh baked goods I was hoping for.

While the plunge pool was a nice feature, the noise from the filtering system was annoying. and the lack of lounging furniture was a letdown.

I had a lovely stay at Primi Royal, enjoying the amazing views and friendly staff. The room was nicely decorated, and the breakfast was fabulous, but I did encounter some issues like unreliable wifi and a lack of evening dining options. Overall, it's a charming spot right near the beach, but it could really use some updates.

My room had stunning views and a sweet little balcony, but I've gotta say, it felt a bit dated and needed some TLC. Besides that, the decor was lovely.
