The Royce酒店

My husband and I stayed here for 1 night after finishing the Around the Bay bike ride. I picked this hotel because it was a short walk from the park where the ride ended and it looked nice on the website. It’s actually very nice and very modern and the front desk staff gave us a big welcome (in our bike gear). It’s in a residential area with a tram right in front for getting around. There is currently construction on the tramway which made traffic out front difficult and hard for our Uber pickups to get to. We preferred staying in the CBD for location but our room in this hotel was very nice and very comfortable and we had a lovely private patio but no view to speak of. Rather than eating in the hotel modern restaurant we took an Uber to a pub in Port Melbourne and had a fun casual dinner. Back at the hotel we went to the ultra modern bar for drinks and had great service but the place was empty. The staff are trying really hard and I hope that the place becomes known. If you have a reason to stay in this area then I would definitely recommend this hotel.

We felt the hotel was more like a three star with the service. We arrived on Friday and later after an evening in the city were informed that the bar was closed at 10:30! So we couldn’t have a late night drink. The next day room service hadn’t cleaned our room and when I rang housekeeping at 5pm was told that the housekeeping staff had left for the day and there was no one available to clean the room!

A stunning renovation of this fabulous iconic boutique hotel. The rooms had excellent soundproofing. I’ve never strayed in such a quiet hotel. Close to everything and away from it at the same time. Staff exceptional and so attentive. The restaurant was beautiful. Could not be faulted and will definitely go again.

I had the most wonderful stay at The Royce for a work trip. Everything about it was perfect - amazing customer service, beautiful and immaculate decor, delicious food... I will definitely be staying here again. I loved the fact it was a boutique hotel and so high quality in everyway. I highly recommend!

We recently stayed at The Royce which has had an amazing refurbishment. This boutique hotel offers a far superior experience compared with chain hotels. All staff we spoke with were immaculately presented and offered genuine, warm service. Everyone had a big smile on their face and were passionate about what they do. The room was beautiful and large with a great terrace that had views of the Botanic Garden’s, The Shrine & the CBD. Beautifully presented and meticulously clean. The rooms have a perfect mix of technology, without overdoing it. All the basics have been thought through. From the writing desk to the luggage storage & wardrobe, it is clear that a lot of thought has gone into the design & functionality. We loved the different spaces in the hotel and The Conservatory where breakfast is served was our absolute favourite. Such a great spot for a morning coffee and a bite to eat. We used the valet parking which was quick & convenient and at a reasonable cost. The tram being on the door step was so handy for quick shopping trips into the city. Thank you Royce Team for a great couple of nights.

The Royce was just perfect. The attention to detail was outstanding. Clean, luxurious, beautiful. The staff were lovely, the decor was stunning, the bed comfy and cozy, and the views down St Kilda Road! True luxurious boutique hotel. The shower was excellent. Highly recommend.

All the staff were great but Izzy stood out from the rest with her well respected greeting and the way she kept us entertained. Will return for sure. The hotel is up with the best of them. The renovation is elegant and well designed. Happy to return many times.

It seems to be they always say they are full and never give you a room upgrade. The hotel did not look full. The service was however excellent and it ws a beautiful hotel. The location is very convenient and nice to be away from the cbd but a close tram ride to the city

Gorgeous renovations made to this beautiful unique property, staff were all lovely and the bar where we had a drink was impressive. However, given the road works underway out the front of the property, the small size of our king balcony room (there is minimal view due to the design of the balcony wall) and the very underwhelming bathroom, shower had issues with a weak water shower head and the water was either too hot or luke warm. I felt $409 per night plus $70 for car parking is not worth it. We travel a lot and stay in many properties each month, this is very overpriced for what it is. Especially given you need to tram or drive to anywhere for dinner/lunch.
