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.”

Great stay, good food, comfy and quite rooms
Great room, so confortable, no intensive horrible lights, amazing mattress, the view to the park so calming and even we saw some hot air balloons flying and landing
Bathroom need some exhaust pipe cleaning, some mould on tiles

A great place to stay.
Light, spacious room, comfortable bed, and friendly staff. The view over the park was lovely, particularly with all the hot-air balloons at dawn. It is on thd 59 tram line so easy to get to and from the city if you don't want to walk.
The bath could have done with a polish. No toilet brush. No TV remote (we could collect one from reception if needed but we didn't bother as we were only staying the one night.

Super comfy convenient hotel highly recommend
We stayed overnight for an appointment at RCH for our baby and so glad we did. So convenient that parking is shared with RCH so no need to move the car anywhere while at the hospital. The accommodation is so nice, everything was clean and comfy plus plenty of room for our babies pram and bassinet in the room. Highly recommend this hotel.
Check in a bit slow with only one reception staff at night

Always a pleasure to stay
The parking is very reasonable, the location and location s always very comfortable
Would be great if they brought back the beautiful touches like they used to have with the vibrant cushions and throw rugs. We have been staying here for years, and will continue to, however can see that it’s looking a little tired and could do with some touch ups and modernisations.

The bed was super comfy, the room was very clean, and the views of the parklands were lovely to wake up to every morning.

Peace of mind
Staff were great and really helpful, love the 24hr desk, was great for a late check in. Room was clean, well stocked and environmentally friendly! Easy access to the Hospital.
A little pricey, I think the plumbing may need a clean, could smell it coming up through the floor drain. Would have been good to have the internal access to the hospital open before 0700, our appointment was early and needed to exit the building onto the main street and enter the hospital via the main entrance.
8 December 2025
Perfect - staff were very helpful, you had everything you needed and central to everything.
It exceeded our expectations - would defiantly stay again.
It was difficult to work out where to entre as it's at the hospital, so quite confusing.

First time in this hotel. Will return.
Room was excellent. Hotel is set near to our requirements and close to good places for jogging. Loved the overall ambience, even in a room overlooking a metal roof!
Not impressed by the breakfast we had.

Loved the feel, the vibe and the park view
The proximity to the RMH, and the artsy feel.
No laundry facilities, I have my mum in hospital and need to do nighties every second day.

Access to trams, quiet, clean, spacious and comfortable
Maybe that the restuarant/bar wasn’t open on weekend nights.

There were many parks and cafes close to the hotel and a hospital right next to it. The rooms were very spacious and beds are absolutely comfortable. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful.

Could have stayed longer
Large, well decorated room, lots of practical amenities like coffee maker, kettle, fridge, microwave, and some dishes. 24 hour check in.
The bed really shifted around when your partner moved. Design glitch with the door of the bathroom - huge and blocked the toilet, which then made one prone to run into the glass shower wall in the night.

Rooms were clean, thoughtfully designed. Nice bathrooms. Nice servicing every day. Provided different pillows when I asked for them.
