Royal Hotel

Room was very small and it does not look clean.bed was not comfortable.

Great place to stay

The staff were quick to respond whenever I needed anything. The various pieces of furniture and "period pieces" in the lobby made it very interesting. I was disappointed to find out they no longer had a restaurant and suggest they take that info down on their website. One of the places I was interested in seeing was the 1881 area and it was so close. Also lots of stores, banks and restaurants in the area.

We enjoyed our stay

My husband and I have come here for a few years. Comfortable and fun to come to. Staff is amazing. We have never had issues with parking. Room is older but clean, not judge but just the right size.

Great little place in the middle of Chilliwack , don’t expect 5 star accommodation but it was perfect for me

unsafe area and very misleading advertisement. would not go here again. very bad rooms and even unsafe rooms.

I hate writing reviews

Basic facility nothing fancy. Old mattresses could use new ones. Otherwise a very plain Jane experience.

Granted the hotel is old, it smells musty old, the room was the size of my bedroom. No phone, more like a boarding room than a hotel room! Very clean though, double bed, not queen as advertised. Ridiculous price!! Would not recommend it, staff did not know where the hospital was(which was the reason for the stay) it was 2 blocks away!! Window did not open and no air conditioning, thankfully there was a small fan!

If you can overlook the smell of an old house than this could be a good over-niter. I was traveling through and needed a place to crash for the night. For: Cheaper by a 1/3 of the nearest consideration. Super friendly and helpful front desk. If driving an EV, level 2 charger in the parking lot, BCHydro level 3 is a block away, Flo level 3 is 2 blocks away. No decision: Basic very small, but clean room with private bathroom and shower, TV & wi-fi. Close to some nice restaurants and Save-On-Foods. Against: The strong old house smell. All rooms are at least 1 set of stairs up to the next floor - no elevator. I was advised to not leave anything in the car, so I ended up carrying everything up and down. Bottom line: Would I stay there again for a night? Yes.

Comfy, sizeable rooms. Rooms modern, clean and well maintained. Shopping and dining options walkable within a couple of blocks. Car parking seemed safe and close to rooms.

Was good

My only suggestion would be to have kleenex in the rooms.

Hotel is in a great location - right in downtown Chiliwack and a block away from District 1881. Loved the older hotel which was clean and quiet. Note that staff aren't at the front desk...they do have a number you can call. Check in time starts at 3:30. And there is no elevator.

Was very disappointed because the room i booked on this website said tjere was a big soaker tub. Thatbwas a lie

Beautiful and clean

Hotel was much cooler than I thought given the price point. Old Victorian vibes, maybe haunted, beautiful wood flooring and antique pieces. Great restaurants nearby. Will stay again.

It was great!

Definitely had an aging character. Very western feeling. The furnishinga, the creeky floors, etc. I liked it. Definitely in a convenient location....everything is walking distance. No AC, just a fan, so be wary in the summer if you like cold. Otherwise a nice stay. Also, every door is cipher lock controlled...no keys or card. I'd stay again for sure when in chillawack.

Nice old hotel. Room was small and no elevator

Nice older hotel in great shape. Clean and very convenient to downtown.

Toilet wouldnt work properly Staff was rude when we arrived Location in a run down part of town

Super nice place. Breezy was very helpful. What I did not like was that the wifi was very spotty at best. Would always say 'connected without internet'. Happened to both mine and my son's phones (Apple & Android) We quickly found out at night that the outside walls and windows were paper thin. The locals who were at the close-by taverns, could be heard as if they were sleeping next to me 😀. It was a Saturday night, so take that into consideration when reading this review. I would totally come back and stay again.

Loved the old wooden charm of the Hotel.

Hotel itself has much character. As soon as I pulled up and saw the exterior I knew I was going to love exploring it, and I did! My room itself was nothing special. Very small, very very basic amenities. No fridge or tub. But the bed was very comfy and it was all I needed for the night. A bit pricey for what you get in the standard room. Staff was phenomenal, truly enjoyed interacting with them!

Aside from loud water pipes at random times I loved the experience and hotel.

The hotel was historic and really unique. I loved the mexican restaurant nearby. The floor was a bit lopsided due to age and the bed was lopsided because of this but still mostly comfortable.

It is reasonably priced and good

Loved this place, it reminded me to old times at my grandparents house. Everything is very well kept.

Everything was Perfect

Worst hotel receptionist ever.

There was quite a few homeless in the back where we parked which was concerning. The hotel was very musty smelling and the room did not have a hairdryer. The towels were on a rack over the toilet and when I grabbed a face cloth the whole rack fell into the toilet. Not the best set up but live and learn.

Good

It was nice stay

We booked nothing too fancy since we only were staying for 2 nights. We knew there was no mini fridge but expected an A/C unit. We got up to the room to only a fan. Spoke to the only girl who was working the hotel and she said only 4 rooms had A/C units but couldn't move us rooms because they were booked. The only thing we were offered was an additional fan but with the following day predicted to hit 33 degrees, it was not going to be manageable. The room was already warm with the fan going. We opted to leave and book a different hotel and contacted hotels.com about the misrepresentation of the hotel description. Hotel also has no ice machine. Hotel has no elevator (just a heads up for people with mobility issues)

Really charming place in an amazing location in downtown chilliwack. Couldnt have asked for a better homebase to explore the town!

I had a room on the 3rd floor, it was so hot, no air conditioning. Sleeping was impossible. I stayed at this hotel before, in a different room, there was air conditioning, and it was on a lower floor. For the cost, a small window air conditioner would make. Huge difference. The check in time was very strict as well.

Friendly and helpful staff, rooms are clean and do the job. There was no air conditioning so it was quite hot; thankfully we had a ceiling fan and pedestal fan, otherwise it would have been unbearable. We couldn't keep the curtains open because our window overlooked the main street. It was helpful to have a fridge, microwave, and coffeemaker.

This hotel allows you to step back into an earlier time in history! I was pleased to learn that there were many great memories created there. The location is excellent and it is right across the street from the new District 1881. Definitely will stay again!

Not bad.

I did not realize they had no air conditioning. They did however provide a fan which did help. Rooms the size of a bedroom and bathroom very tiny. But I guess that is what you can expect for a historical hotel.

Room were extremely warm and small . Served its purpose for the fact everyone was was full but would not return.

The room needs air conditioning.

Clean but hi in wrong area of town

No AC they said its because its old no mini fridge nothing but a very small room and a small bathroom. Hot and cramped no elevators. Only offers a comon area with a small fridge . Staff was very nice though . Will not re visit.

We stayed here because the venue we were going to is next door and we didn’t want to drive home. It’s an older hotel with no elevator and there is a gap between the door and the floor so people will hear you talking. It’s very quaint!

Unique charm. Didn’t care for the smoke and Fire alarms and fire department portion of the Saturday night.

old and scarey

One of the best hotels in Chilliwack.

Very musky smell upon entering hotel, realize its very old, but very 'off-putting' no fridge in room (knew this ahead) but no ice machine either, A/C was a unit you hook up yourself, and TV was very small plus we had to get help connecting, but the worst was all "the noise" homeless along with traffic, all this and "overpriced"

Loved it

It’s an older hotel and has some charm but the area they are in needs some cleaning up.

Loud neighbors and the bathroom toilet was loud, but in also waiting for my damage deposit back

Amazing place, I’ve stayed here before and definitely will go back again!

Lovely older property quaint, nice room. Area is a bit sketchy but we had no problems. Lots of restaurants close by.

Room was clean. The ac isn’t good could never get it below 75 Fahrenheit. And there’s no elevator so if you have a bunch of bags you’ll have to lug them up the stairs.

Great stay!

I was disappointed with our stay at this hotel. The noise levels were very high, making it difficult to relax or get a good night’s sleep. Additionally, the cleanliness of the room and common areas was well below expectations. I would not recommend this hotel to others looking for a comfortable and peaceful stay.

The hotel room was upgraded; simple and very clean. Comfortable. Breeze, our hostess, was very kind and funny. Lots to do around the hotel. Lots of fun history and displays in the reception area - like a museum.

It had a cool antique feel and it was clean. It advertises air conditioning, but it doesn't work. The room was very hot so difficult to get good sleep. I didnt like that the front desk didn't have somebody there. We never did get our towels we asked for.

Nice

Room was hot which made for an uncomfortable sleep.

Good overall. A couple of cleanliness things that weren't perfect, but that's likely just because of the small number of staff on hand. A few other quirks as well, which were probably charming, and more due to the building being so old. The staff that were around were awesome.

Bad service(serious face), no room service, no heating(broken, only small portableone on the rable), no Ac(portable one in the closet, that need professional installation),bad smell(dirty carpetin the halls), very bad noise from neighbors' bathroom. Wifi signal is weak. How

Internet and tv didn’t work. Noisy building and area.

Enjoy nostalgia of historic building. Night club right beside hotel. Very loud on weekends

It was very antique and unique. Clean & quiet. Nice receptionist.

Love it

I like it very much the I go very often. I should be VIP by now. 😀 Thank you and see you soon. Sonia R.

no frills or gimmicks... just a bed to stay in and that's it. no cots or hot tubs or service. front desk was mainly unmanned. location was decent downtown though

Definitely a quirky option. Amazingly clean, friendly staff, situated in a great location. Definitely needs a better mattress and more towels. Reminds me of hostels in Europe.

Good customer service

We had no tv at all. No staff to help. No body soap (fine i brought my own) pillows were so flat. Beds were terrible.

The history and antique feel makes it special

Historic building… so the inside was very different from most hotels I’ve stayed at. It was very nice!

Such a cool, unique place.

Thr front desk staff was very friendly. The fact that you jeed a code to even get in the front door made it feel a lot safer.

The staff provided a service that was considerate of the customer's convenience.

The heater was weak and the room was cold.

Friendly staff and very charming historical hotel ,private and safe with the front doors being a coded entry for guests and staff only .Felt safe there and only thing they need to get up znd running would be a restaurant or cafe in house going . The food services are not very convient there or maybe add a microwave and mini fridges to the rooms oh and telephones for local calling in the rooms would be easier and more convient for if your cell phone gives you griefs or you just dont have a phone ,would make the stay a little more convient for services 😉

Very quiet hotel. Lots of character.

Very friendly staff. Charming hotel, I've stayed a few times now.

Very friendly, helpful staff!

It’s very cozy. Almost like staying at your grandparents house. Kinda spooky in a cool way.

I checked in in the evening, but was locked out on the street for a fair amount of time. No one was at the front desk so I had to call and wait for someone to come let me in. It’s a great historic hotel, but could use some upgrades. It smells kinda musty. The toilet water keeps running. I stayed here a few years ago (like about 4) and had the same room with the same toilet issue- still not fixed. Restaurant attached to the hotel is closed. Not a safe downtown area. Too bad. I needed a quick stay, and this was the cheapest around. Guess you get what you pay for. I’ll go elsewhere next time.

The location was great lots of restaurants and pubs and the legion as well was all in the same area

The hotel has an old and a historic feel to it.

Old hotel, no lift, no breakfast, no Gideon Bible, no fridge, no be back

Neat historic building. Room was by the hallway door, pretty noisy with people coming and going. Clean room, comfortable bed.

Great stay, comfortable, Clean and the front desk was helpful.

The Royal is a very unique and interesting place. The rooms are small because they are original from more than a hundred years ago. They have incredible antiques everywhere. While it's light on amenities and there is no elevator, it is rich with history.

I had to walk up 3 flights of stairs to get to my room. Not good for someone with mobility issues.

What a great place to stay in Chilliwack

Very cool historic property.Lobby is full of antiques and beautiful old wooden staircase. Modest room was very comfortable and had everything we needed. Excellent value and friendly service. Location is great. Lots of shops and restaurants close by. We will definitely come back.

Very quaint, if I ever come back I'll be sure to stay again

I love older hotels. They bring a great deal of character and history as opposed to the sterile chain hotels. There was a really nice balance between the classic and the modern elements. It was a delightful stay and we will most certainly be back.

Royal hotel is a quaint, heritage site that has been carefully maintained and lovingly restored. The creaky floors are evocative of yesteryear, and the rooms are exceptionally clean and well-maintained.

The royal hotel was perfect for us as we were just passing through town, we were able to check in after midnight which was great as we were exhausted and most places don’t let you check in past 11pm. The price is decent for the age of the hotel. Sure it’s dated but it’s got character and what else do you expect from a building over 100 years old. Les greeted us at 12:30 am to let us in and check us in, he was very kind and helpful.

The Royal Hotel is within walking distance to local shops, restaurants and the museum. The building is old but has been in good maintenance and kept clean and tidy. The floor creaks. That adds to the charm. The furniture in the lobby and the old appliances on display give a sense of what it must have the hotel experience decades ago. Street parking is available but is limited. However, there are many 2- and 3-hour parking spots within a couple blocks.
