Our take

The Royal Derby Hotel is best for travellers who want character and a good pub downstairs rather than hotel facilities. The rooms are simple, but the beer garden, modern dining and live sport give the place its energy, and free parking and WiFi are welcome extras. Families can make it work for a short stay, though light sleepers should remember that the rooms are above a busy venue.

  • ✓Take advantage of the beer garden for a relaxed meal or drink, especially on a sunny afternoon.
  • ✓Check the schedule for live sports if you're a fan, as the pub often screens major events.
  • ✓Explore Rue de Thanh, just a three-minute walk away, for local dining and shopping experiences.

Why guests love it

I recommend the Royal Derby Hotel to families who are happy with simple rooms and want an easy pub meal downstairs. The rooms sit above a lively pub with a beer garden, modern dining and live sport on the screens, so dinner needs no planning. WiFi and parking are free, and the hotel is listed as family-friendly. Guests rate it 8.4 from close to 400 reviews, which makes it a sound pick for a short Melbourne stay.
