“Royal Hotel By Nightcap Social struck me as a genuinely solid choice after its recent renovations; the upmarket facelift definitely elevates the experience. I was particularly impressed by the dedicated Nightcap Social lounge exclusively for guests, adding a layer of relaxed exclusivity. It's a family-friendly spot with surprisingly thoughtful touches, especially given its proximity to Essendon Train Station.”
