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!!! 🥰

A gorgeous bathroom which also provides a wonderful Dyson hair dryer! ☺️
A scrumptious, classy breakfast too!!! 😍

A great place to stay

It’s a throwback to the art deco days style wise, but it’s fantastic once you open the door to your room in this boutique hotel. Great beds, strong WiFi and Moulton Brown amenities top it off. Trams are right outside the door and it’s minutes from the hustle of the CBD. Loved it !
