Great property but staffed with non-English speaking staff which makes it difficult to communicate! We speak English in Guyana and not Chinese! While the Buffet Breakfast was extensive it lacked great coffee! Just a bottle of Nescafé crystals and a can of powdered milk. I like a fresh cup of brewed coffee with non/dairy creamer as I am lactose intolerant.

Words cannot describe how much I appreciate this hotel. This was my third stay and 6th room bookings and they were all exceptional. Clean, quiet, great food, Landry room accessible (quick wash only 15 mins), it was all so so good. The breakfast buffet spread is great and the staff are all very nice. I am bilingual so communication was crystal clear, however I recommend that they get more English speaking or bilingual staff. Also very economical. Thank you Royal.

The breakfast is not the best. It’s very basic and very salty. Should improve the quality. The staff needs better training. They have to speak English.

This hotel is becoming run down. The water takes very long to drain in the bathroom it's gross! It lodges for a very long time before it drains. The air conditioning sucks you gotta keep changing and tinkering with the control to get desired temperature. Then the majority of staff here doesn't speak English. Breakfast is boring. Same thing every day. Rarely any Guyanese food or dishes. Then this stale ransid scent in the floor hallways I don't know what is causing this. Do not stay here
