Safi Royal Luxury Hotels– “Always beyond your expectations”

Real Travelers recommend staying at the Safi Royal Luxury Centro and the Safi Royal Luxury Valle. The hotels, respectively rated a 4.4 and 4.7 out of 5 based on reviews from across the web, are sure to delight those visiting the city of Monterrey– Mexico’s industrial capital.

Family owned and managed, these European style hotels offer guests “high speed wireless internet, Ultra Comfort beds, coffee maker, and a double vanity area among other luxury amenities.” One of the owners, Roberto Safi, offers some insight as to what makes these hotels so unique. Safi explains “Our attentive staff treats our guests as family. This is what makes our hotels truly unique. Since we are a chain of only two hotels, we have a closer relationship with our staff and therefore with our guests. We differ from the rest of the big hotel chains, for being an adaptable hotel that works in a dynamic way, always looking for ways to innovate and exceed our guests’ needs.” Recently, while a family was staying at one of the hotels, a little boy wished to express his gratitude toward the hotel staff by drawing pictures of Alvaro, the bellman, and Andrea, the front desk clerk. Another satisfied guest seems to agree with the little boy–this guest writes, “The service was awesome, all the employees were very kind and nice.”


Accommodating business travelers during the week, and families on the weekends, these hotels are “strategically located in the most important areas of the city.” One guest comments that the Safi Royal Luxury Hotel Centro is a “Moderate sized hotel with spacious guest rooms, excellent service, nice pool and center courtyard, clean and attractive.” Located near the Macroplaza, Santa Lucia River Walk, Barrio Antiguo, and Bishop’s Palace, this hotel is the place to stay when visiting these local attractions. For those interested in shopping, stay at the Safi Royal Luxury Valle–which is located across the street from Monterrey’s largest shopping center.

If you’re looking for a hotel that is “Always beyond your expectations,” consider the Safi Royal Luxury Centro and the Safi Royal Luxury Valle.

Royal National Hotel

I work for a major high street travel agency and after hearing and reading mixed reviews, I went fearing the worst hotel imaginable.
I stayed for 2 nights and found the hotel to be not as bad as what people make it out to be.

The location is pretty good, only a 15min walk from Kings Cross and the nearest tube station is bout 3mins walk which is Russell Square on the Piccadilly line. This station was extremely busy during rush hour, so we often walked to either Kings Cross or Euston to catch the tube.

The rooms are basic consisting of 2 single beds (which can be easily converted to a double), wardrobe, tv and bathroom.

There was some noise disturbance, which came from workmen and from the kitchens, but this was only audible if the window was open otherwise there was no noise impact.

The cooked breakfast was good, despite not going for breakfast till 9-30 there was still plenty of cooked food available and it was still hot.

The only negative parts was the large groups that arrived by the coaches and the heating system. The rooms get too hot on a night and we had to open windows to try and keep the rooms cooler.

We only used the rooms for sleeping, as we spent most of day walking around London and sightseeing. We only spent a VERY small amount in the hotel.

The hotel bar drinks were very watered down, but on the front of the hotel is a pub and the prices were quite reasonable only £3 for a pint of lager. So we spent more time there.

Overall, I would recommend this hotel to everyone. I am also planning a return visit for my birthday later in the year.
