this place was incredibly overpriced. no discovery channel. big disappoint in my books. the staff appeared to be on valium and the room was dated considering the price of the stay. not to mention the flattened zebra in the foyer. the saving grace was the charming breakfast and the ergonomic and very comfortable spa bath. not very good value for... more

Near to CBD, All Major Attractions of Melbourne, Excellent place for Business People and Family as well. more

The perfect antidote to large chain and business hotels-We spent three very relaxing nights at this hotel which we found to be perfect for exploring Melbourne. It is positioned well to catch taxis or a tram into the city or down to the beach, we walked everywhere from The Royce -but we do like walking!. The rooms are very clean,... more

Neat and tidy room, good friendly service. Close to transport on a busy Australia Day Weekend. Woulds stay there again. more

I was so looking forward to my week away in Melbourne. I'd planned to stay in a fantastic 5 star hotel (eg Lindrum, if only I'd visited this site first), spend a kings ransom on clothes and shoes and wine and dine the evening with my melbourne buddies....

Our room wasn't ready on arrival. We... more

I sympathise with the other reviewer... This has been the one time I didn't check the ratings before staying somewhere, and boy, did I suffer for it. The Royce is nothing but false advertising. Sure, the website looks all nice and eclectic, and from the outside and in the lobby the place looks great. Then you get to your room.... more

This place is so bad in so many ways it makes it difficult to begin! 1. The bed (aka camp bed) in our 'deluxe' room folded down from the wall and was without doubt the worse night sleep I have ever had ever! 2. The shower door wouldnt close and you cant help but flood the bathroom 3. There is... more
