Well, I just checked in at the Royal. The first impression is quite neutral. There's nothing wrong with it, but really nothing special either. The hotel feels somehow deserted, and the fact that the restaurant is closed doesn't make things better.

My recent stays in Radisson Blus in Scandinavia have made me used to some kind of special treatment as a Gold member, but here I have so far received nothing. Ok, I got a quiet corner room, maybe that was it. But I have gotten used to things like some fruit and water, laundry coupons etc. Here, nothing.

Maybe the room is slightly nicer, but I think I will go for Atlantic the next time. Maybe the breakfast tomorrow changes my mind?
