08/03/2026: Very friendly staff, excellent food.
The only thing that needs improvement is the Amatriciana!!!
I'll be back to check on the progress.
25/01/2026: We just checked out of our wonderful room here at the Royal after a wonderful week of skiing. We weren't expecting much from reading the various reviews, but we wanted to give it a try anyway given the fabulous location, and we did just fine. Anita at the front desk is very helpful and cheerful and greeted us immediately. A member of staff showed us around to see where the spa, ski room, restaurant, and more were located. Our room was truly huge, with a view of the Boè, clean, warm, and perhaps a little dark, but perfect for us, as we have two children. The dining room was spacious, intimate, and clean. The food was excellent, with many traditional dishes and great flexibility, even with requests for dishes other than the menu, such as desserts and some children's dishes, or special requests based on personal tastes. The "post-dinner" room is perhaps renovated compared to the rest of the hotel, and it's really nice to play cards after a day of skiing with grappa, hot tea, etc.
A few small suggestions, if they're welcome: the pool temperature is a bit chilly (they explained it was due to the proliferation of bacteria, etc.), but I think it could be warmed up a few degrees. The games room would have been nice, but there were no rackets and balls for ping pong. Perhaps some other toys would be useful for the kids. The ski room could use a few lockers and perhaps an extra bench. The evening buffet would be nice to expand with local cheeses and cold cuts, as well as the various types of bread. The breakfast room is perhaps a bit small, and the buffet is a bit limited, although you can ask the waiters for eggs, bacon, etc. The table service was a bit confusing, but this is due to the inexperience of the new staff. The location is excellent, very close to the slopes. We'll definitely be back next year because it's truly excellent value for money. Thank you so much, Royal, until next year.
