Art Series The Larwill Studio, Melbourne
Expert reviews
“Creative, wellness-minded travelers who want to be slightly removed from the thrum of Melbourne’s city center (but not deep in suburbia) will love the Larwill for its artsy ambience, gallery-like lobby and hallways and accessible location.”
“The sharp and smart Larwill Studio is one of Melbourne’s newer mid-range properties. The polished, contemporary hotel is energised by original, soul-lifting artworks by the late Australian artist David Larwill – and is where Scandi-style aesthetics meet homegrown creativity.”

Stylish, convenient, well appointed hotel especially if you are visiting Royal Childrens Hospital
The hotel is quite stylish and well appointed with quality fixtures and amenities. We had a wonderful view of hot air balloons floating past our window in the morning. Very convenient to get to our 9am appointment at Royal Childrens - we didn't have to leave the building. Checkout at 11am was really convenient too.

Great Location, friendly staff
We love coming to stay here for appointments at the Children's Hospital. It's easily accessible via public transport or by car. We love the Nature park, a short stroll away, and it's an easy tram ride to the zoo. Great for the kids. We had a room with a park view and woke up to hot air balloons drifting past our window. We were thrilled.
I would love a cloth and dishwashing liquid to wash the dishes.

I liked that I was in the same building as the hospital. Because that was the reason for our stay.
The room was very small

We had great stay at The Larwill studio
The location: not far from CBD and very quiet: just in front of the Royal Park The staff is nice and helpful
We did not book the breakfast, which was quite expensive, but it is comprehensible. You can buy a meal outside and reheat in the microwave oven in the room.

Lovely staff and convenient parking
We liked it was so close to the doctors office that we had appointment to, so we just used an elevator to go there without leaving the building, plus there is a secure parking and the café downstairs was great too- very convenient for a stay like that
We didnt realize there was a free wifi, didn’t notice any signs of it in the room.

The Larwill Studio and it will continue to be our choice when staying in Melbourne
This was our second time staying at the Larwill Studio and it will continue to be our choice when staying in Melbourne.
Nothing. Everything was great.

Excellent place to stay. Great tram connections to CBD.
Very comfortable room and temperature in room.
The on site restaurant closed earlier than I would have liked. The shower was over the bathtub and a bit tricky to get into and the floor of the bath was slippery.

Great location and wonderful staff
Great location, quiet, staff friendly and helpful. Early check in to accommodate medical appointments nearby was much appreciated and cafe attached had great breakfast rolls and coffee.
The bed was too soft for me and hurt my back to sleep on it...more of a personal choice than a complaint but is a shame because would love to stay there again for the convenience and other good attributes. Spoke to reception but all beds are the same so wouldn't even be able to pay extra for a better room.

Great location a d
Location was really good. King size room was excellent and very quiet. Bed was comfy. Restaurant was nice and not expensive . We had chicken snitzels which were very tender and only $25. Neither of us could finish our meal.
Bit of a variety of different size and firmness of pillows. 2 pillows were 2 high 1 too low. I used towels folded up under pillow. Took about 15 minutes of driving around the car park before we found one. We left the car there and either walked or caught the tram. Hubby didn’t like that the restaurant only served boutique beer. He said it wasn’t very nice and didn’t finish it.

Comfortable, quiet, fantastically located, staff were amazing
The only thing I didn't like was the bathroom drains smelt quite strongly. I feel like a hotel bathroom shouldn't smell like a public toilet.

Another great stay at the Larwill Art Hotel: all one could ask for at a very reasonable tariff.
Generous room size, great facilities and reading material related to the artworld and artists. Super comfortable king bed. Fantastic location on the edge of the CBD with wonderful parkland views. Very quiet location with onsite parking. Tram stop just 50m away and front desk was super friendly and helpful in explaining how to reach our destination. Onsite restaurant has a very cool vibe, great food & friendly, efficient staff. Easy return to Flemington Road and return to the airport.

Central location, great value for money
Great, central location with two separate tram stops just a 5 minute walk away. The neighbourhood itself doesn't have much, but a short walk or tram ride and you're in the Brunswick or North Melbourne areas which have a lot more going on.

Comfy and convenient place to stay when visiting Melbourne.
It was easy to get to, driving in from interstate. Parking was convenient under the building. Lovely view over the park from our room. Comfortable spacious beds.

Lovely view and appealing room.
The artwork and styling was lovely. The view was fantastic. Staff were lovely.
I didn’t realise it was part of the hospital when I booked it. The parking was a bit confusing because the information link that was sent through didn’t work. Possibly a booking.com issue.

Staff are fantastic. Rooms are clean, comfortable & well appointed. Art is impressive. Toiletries are too shelf.
TVs are just flat screens; no internet. Also, there's an unpleasant smell associated with the plumbing in the bathrooms. I've stayed in two different rooms on different floors; different sides of the building, and the smell was noticeable in both. It's quite off putting.

Would happily stay in this Hotel again
Very comfy bed and room was very clean. Great location for the hospitals in the area. The good thing about Art Series Hotels is the different art you see around the hotels which all relate to the artist the hotels are named after

Great clean and a calm place but car parking was a pain
Clean and location
It was mentioned parking included but had to pay $28 a day, which is ok but having to go to the reception to obtain a pass to take the vehicle out was a pain. Couple of times staff at the reception was busy and had to wait in line to sign and obtain a card to exit. Should have a better system so guests don't waste time.
