Lovely hotel, amazing staff

Came to Melbourne for the day on a quick overnight business trip that happened to be on my birthday. They were able to accommodate an early check in as we landed early. And once they realized it was my birthday, upgraded my room and sent a little treat in the afternoon. A nice surprise after a day of meetings. We had breakfast twice and it was amazing food, great selection, and service. Room was clean, modern, and the bed was so comfortable. I only wish I had more time there. The bar looked great! But we didn’t have time to check it out. I will definitely be back and stay at Royce next time….and more than one night.

Time Out For Me...💞

It's always a pleasure to stay at The Royce! The service is always phenomenal! A special 'thank you' to Rachael, Casey and Miguel...super helpful, obliging and friendly!!! ☺️ Room Service: Friendly and efficient! Food served from the restaurant is always of a high standard, well-presented and flavoursome. Although a little pricey, I still do enjoy every mouthful. Due to the high price of desserts at $27, I refuse to order them...which, of course, is in my favour (less calories)! The Royce rooms are spacious and luxurious, especially the bathrooms! In my opinion, the bed is comfortable for me. However, I do realise that each person's needs are diverse. I highly recommend you pamper yourself and stay at The Royce, as I am sure that you will enjoy it too!!! 💖 Thank you for another enjoyable stay and please continue to offer the exceptional services which you currently provide!!! 🥰
An informative booklet of The Royce and a map of the area provided in the room. 😊
Super clean, spacious and luxurious! 😍
A gorgeous bathroom which also provides a wonderful Dyson hair dryer! ☺️
A scrumptious, classy breakfast too!!! 😍
