The room was an excellent balance between a budget option and still very comfortable, quiet, clean and well located. It was one of the cheaper options, but didn't cut any corners that mattered to me (as I said, it was very clean, well presented and had everything needed). The property manager James was super helpful twice that I needed to speak to him, and overall the accommodation was very well managed. Although above a pub, I didn't find it noisy at all. Although the bathrooms were shared, I never really had a problem getting to use one when I wanted. The location is excellent, with multiple tram routes that are only 15 mins from the centre of the city. It's at the top of Brunswick street which had loads of really nice shops bars and restaurants, but just past the main strip, so not in the thick of it.

I would say that the only thing that could be improved is the check in experience - as an overseas traveller, I put in my UK number when booking, but swapped for a local sim while I was in the country. As the check in info is sent via text, this caused a small delay/confusion when checking in. James was super helpful sorting it, but I suggest either making it clear when booking that the phone number you entered will be used to send the check in information, or sending the check in information via email instead. However it's a small thing, I imagine fairly niche, and it was easily resolved. But it's the one bit of feedback I'd put down.

Everything the ad said it would be. Very easy check-in and access. Facilities were clean and maintained and the room was surprisingly warm and comfortable.

Some facilities such as the bathroom are a bit older but still perfectly useable and clean. The floors being creaky, the noisy main road and the electronic locks on each of the rooms could be somewhat noisy but not overly.

Lovely clean rooms with decent space and nice decor! Shared toilets and kitchen were also always clean, we felt comfortable here.

Only downside was that when we got to the property we were given check in details for the wrong room and ended up going into a room where another couple were staying. As we were checked in late we were at a loss for an hour trying to book other hotels. Luckily we then saw someone on site who helped us and advised we’re in a different room. We were not happy at the time but the hotel were very professional about it and refunded us for the night straight away, really happy with how it was handled.

This accommodations is fabulous. They always have tried to communicate often and favorably. Also, the room was quite big enough and tidy. But, one weakness was the shower room. There are a few shower rooms, and one of then, it was broken so I couldn't use it. But, I had more options, so it was not a big deal. Also, after check-out, they let me leave my luggage until I collect it. It was a big help for me. I highly recommend staying in this hotel.

I love the Royal Derby, it became like a little second home for me for several weeks. It's really simple, unpretentious, the rooms are small and simple, some are larger than others, they are clean and comfortable... when I was there it was super quiet and I rarely saw other guests. There are multiple shared bathroom facilities and I never had to wait to use the facilities. It's above a bar, so there is a little noise sometimes, and it's on Brunswick Street, so obviously there's activity and noise in general, but I liked that. The location is amazing, in the heart of Fitzroy.

The only issue I had was on particularly hot summer days, there was no air conditioner, and it was very uncomfortable, the rooms smelled sweaty from a previous guest... I think some rooms did have a fan available, but not all of them. That was the only downside. In cooler weather, it's great. Not so great when it's hot.

Experience matched room photo. Good use of a smaller room size gave the feel of being a larger room. Fabulously friendly staff in the bars downstairs. Safe secure smoking area that didn’t drift your smoke into other areas or cause discomfort to those passing by.

Lighting on keypad entry at gate and building, so be sure to slip your phone into your pocket if going out for a stroll.

Real people. Better vibe than a lot of other similar places, especially Queensland.

Probably something. Leave us with little purpose long enough and we will find something. Seriously... outside the building there are some fair dinkum professional ass sniffers. Warm inside at least. Thanks

The space, the bar downstairs, the comfort, great value, obviously it’s not a hotel. But it is in such a wicked spot in Fitzroy! heap’s central, to cafes/restaurants, shops, bars, trams! Such a hipster area! Loved and enjoyed my stay here! Heaps safe as well with the locks and all!

Location was fantastic & right across the road from Tram stops. Very clean & comfortable, never had an issue using the shared bathrooms. Very secure with 3 keypad points to access your room. Although above a pub & on 2 busy roads, I didn't have an issue with noise at all. Staff were friendly & helpful.
