    The room itself was visually fine and comfortable, giving off a classy vibe, made relaxation easy. Plus, the 11am check-out time was a real bonus that let me enjoy a laid-back morning.

    I had a few minor inconveniences. The wait for food and drinks in the bar was way too long, with 30 minutes just for four drinks, which can put a damper on any evening. These issues were annoying but didn't ruin the overall experience.

    The place was fairly clean and brilliant, had absolutely lovely staff with great service and a very comfortable clean and large room. The location offered was marvellous and fab not far from the shrine of remembrance, Very close to Botanical Gardens and Melbourne for leisure. It also was right on a tram stop.

    Didn't like the area, it was really loud.

    The styling of the room, the friendly staff, the little bonus of free drink but especially for the bar downstairs, the location suited my needs. In addition I was up-graded to 308 - a balcony room facing the college/school.

    Nothing. Only that I had to leave.

    This hotel offers a peaceful setting near popular tourist spots with lovely rooms and is conveniently located near the Botanic Gardens, the Shrine, South Yarra, and a tram stop. Extremely quiet location to other great tourist attractions, beautiful bedrooms, close enough to Botanic Gardens, the Shrine and South Yarra as well as tram stop.

    The Royce is fantastically positioned/situated in Melbourne. It's size, our room with a view over the war memorial & Eureka tower were superb. After a huge search of hotels in Melbourne's CBD, I felt this was the best selection for our criteria ie quiet location, view, ambience & position on St Kilda Rd & cost in comparison to some more expensive hotels.

    The cost of $329 was a big outlay for our budget but we found the room comfortable, enjoyable & of an adequate size. Only downside would be the cooking smell in the hallway outside the lift from the Dish restaurant.

    Aside from my preference for a small hotel, I do not consider this a 5 star hotel. At most I will give it a 4! Even a bottle of mineral water in the room is charged at 6.50 Auz. The room rate is $300+ per day. Wifi is free for 1 hour and if they do not run out of coupons for the day! I would not go there again! There r better places around.
