My stay at Hotel Cafe Royal was a good blend of luxury and comfort, though there were a few minor drawbacks. The afternoon tea experience was a highlight, served in a stunning lounge with an impressive selection of teas and pastries. However, the room I received had some cosmetic issues, which detracted slightly from the overall opulence I expected. Still, the attentive staff and prime location more than made up for these shortcomings. 😊🍰
