Just absolutely loved my stay here. Kind and attentive staff, delicious food/drinks. The most gorgeous setting and pool. Very much a hotel where they've thought of everything to make it easy/chill for guests staying. From being able to text with front desk for any questions/checkout info to free spf by the pool, great breakfast. Just loved it.

The rooms are big and full of mid century charm and individuality. Very comfortable bed. Great shower pressure. Wonderful amenities in the room (booze, snacks, Nespresso machine). The staff was wonderful and attentive, the pool was heated and relaxing. Truly a special yet quiet place to stay for a few nights. They also had bikes you could use. Would recommend choosing the Villa Royale, if back in Palm Springs I wouldn't hesitate to patronize again.

A very charming and hip property with wonderful staff. We really enjoyed our weekday stay and would highly recommend this hotel! They have bikes to rent, a nice pool bar, and the hotel restaurant was delicious with great cocktails. There are a number of other excellent bars and restaurants within walking distance, and the hotel is nestled in a very nice midcentury modern neighborhood. It's a small property, so I can imagine weekends with weddings or other on-site events could be disruptive, but our weekday stay was perfection.

Pluses: vintage, authentic property; generally excellent service; quiet; individual very cool rooms, very good food. Minuses: tv didn’t work until day 2 despite service requests and attempts; requested maid service didn’t occur, 3 issues with bathroom (slow shower drain almost completely stopped by day 3. How does housekeeping not notice the drain?). Enjoyed the food but was overpriced. Deposit was not credited towards final bill, waiting for the credit.
Still, an enjoyable stay that earned five stars in some regards and is better than than the minuses would suggest.
I’m so happy i chose this hotel. I’m blessed to do a lot of traveling so I experience all types of places to stay. This hotel is warm, professional, clean and classy. I stayed here during “hurricane Hillary” and still had a good time despite all the water Palm Springs took on that weekend. The staff was tops. I plans to stay here again in the future and I’m good with letting my loved ones know to stay here too peace.
We loved everything about Villa Royale. From the helpful and friendly staff at the lobby , to the cute and comfortable rooms . We loved the heated pools and the yummy drinks at the bar . Enjoyed the peace and tranquility of the hotel . We will definitely return and recommend to friends

Excellent vibes in room and throughout the property. Must hit happy hour in the Del Rey. Excellent drinks and atmosphere. Windows and thin walls allow for a lot of noise as guests roam the property. We stayed in a larger villa with kitchen and it was roomy. Bathroom is tiny!

This is the getaway that everyone needs. From the moment we stepped on the property we were immediately taken by the charm of this hotel. The staff was very welcoming, check-in was a breeze. The room itself was spacious, spotless and stocked with everything you would need. While we didn’t have time to eat at the restaurant, the drinks were delicious and the menu is something we will definitely be back to try.

This place was amazing! It was the quiet, romantic getaway that my husband and I were looking for. I've never stayed at a an adults only hotel before but it is the only way I want to travel anymore!

My favorite part was how quiet and private it felt. We were there on a week day and had the place mostly to ourselves. Staff very friendly, pool warm, drinks delicious. I’d definitely go back. Downside was that it’s not walkable to downtown, and finishes didn’t feel super high end, but certainly can’t be beat for the price.

I booked the Capri room - upon entering the room I was a little confused as the room decor was different than what I was expecting. I thought maybe I was given the incorrect room. I went back on the Expedia website & villa royale website to see the photos for the capri room. Photos on both websites were the same but the actual decor inside my bedroom area didn’t match up, the bathroom decor did match up. I went to the front desk & had asked if I was given the correct room. The receptionist did verify that I was in the correct room & that each room decor varies - which I was not ware of & did not see listed on either the Expedia website or villa royale website. There was a big wet spot on the rug under the bed that I kept stepping in. The wall with the AC unit also had a long blue streak of blue fluid which looked like it was coming from the AC unit itself. The property itself is cute, safe & quiet but for the $520 I paid I expected it to be better. I would have been more happy with staying at a Fairfield inn or Marriott. The main reason I said here was because it was a across the street from the Ace Hotel that I had an event at & because the room online looked very cute.
I love to stay at cute places so this was a little bit of a splurge for me but to end up with a room that didn’t look like the photos & had some cosmetic damages to the wall .. was not worth it.
Also, $24 for a basic burger & fries that was not that great from their restaurant
The staff were great, helpful and welcoming. Texting for room service and info was convenient. The pools we're nice and we had one right outside our room. We really enjoyed our stay amd if we return to Palm Springs we would definitely stay again.
