Stayed for the long long weekend. Front reception greeted us which was warm and friendly. Our room wasn't available until 3:30pm which we have told the staff that we'll be there at 2pm. As a Punthill member, we was suppose to receive a free bottle of red but never got that. What if we want chose to check in early? We totally understand Australia Day ***** holiday with no room service but there should be room service at least one day of the weekend. This accommodation does not offer weekend room service. Fresh towels, tea towels, hand towels are available in the gym. Room super clean but we do recommend to stay at least the one bedroom apartment for a couple. Parking is $35 a night, don't bother paying for that. Street park it's a safe area. Punthill Essendon North is really convenient spot.

The Royal Hotel provides convenient access to Tullamarine Airport and Melbourne CBD. The accommodation varies in price according to demand, as is usual these days, but it is normally around $100 per night. The Nightcap Social club is exclusively for hotel guests. The Royal has been rejuvenated recently, it's a pleasant place to stay. By the way, the popular dining room serves good, no-nonsense food that is reasonably priced.

The hotel is very cost-effective, the front desk service is more attentive and basically responsive. There is a commercial street in the surrounding area. It is more convenient to eat and shop, but the breakfast is too cold to eat.
