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 comfort on the fringe of the city
Th eproximity to the city is excellent with great public transport options available right at your door. The bed was very comfortable and the room was really clean and well styled. I wish we could have stayed longer to check out the parks and restaurant. We will be back
A wider range of food to purchase in the room would have had me buying the nibblies I was craving at about 11pm.

So very comfortable with a great deal of food options and amenities and a lovely view.
Bed and room and location all fantastic.
The reception staff where not friendly at all. They were not welcoming. We could not even get anyone on the phone for room service - it rang out at reception numerous times. We then called the farmacy direct. The person who answered was so lovely and delivered to our room very quickly with a smile. He gets 10/10. The reception staff did not smile, did not ask us anything to make us feel welcome. I need to add that prior I had spoken to Marge who was lovely and helpful and she was not working that weekend. She also gets 10/10. The receptionists on duty let the others down.

Amazing location, travelled for a concert but also had our young child so far enough away it wasn't busy. Very quiet. Staff were very helpful as our room wasn't ready, so upgraded us to a different room as our child was very unsettled. Overall would stay again!!!!

Immaculately clean. Excellent a/c. Great blockout curtains. Very quiet. Beautiful park views. Excellent proximity to hospital precinct. Great value.
Loved everything.

Easy comfortable and perfect for my purpose. Thanks
The artwork and general layout. Hospital convenient stores on ground level. Cleaning staff were friendly and helpful. 24/7 security door access.
Nothing to report other than I didn't realize full payment for stay was required upfront & a $100 deposit was mentioned but wasn't sure what it was for? Normally accounts are settled on departure. Front desk staff could be a bit more friendly perhaps.

Art Series amazing. We will book directky next time
Location. Accomodating and pleasant staff. Clean. Lovely bathroom products.
Unfortunately. Despite our Booking made thru Booking.com and $$$ being paid. On our early arrival, staff apologised as The booking thru Booking. Com had not dropped into their system. They were fully booked. Wed driven 4 hrs. The staff at Art Series went above and beyond to find a room for us after several hrs. Very grateful but disappointed with Booking.com. Second time this has happened with no apologies,feedback or compensation after several years of loyal patronage. Not sure what’s going on but it’s not great.

Convenience of location prompted us to book stays before and after the meeting.
Location was excellent for access to my meeting, being adjacent to a park and to the tram. Room was comfortable but could have used more desk space and outlets for devices. Bathroom was good.
Needed more desk space for two people.

Great location, friendly staff, easy check in and out and would stay again
We loved the art and vibe of the place, plus the location/view was amazing
There were only a couple small things that could be better like: -water pressure wasn’t great for the shower - internet was a bit slow -it said there were 15 foxtel channels and 3 movie channels but when changing to those channels it said the channel didn’t exist. -the tv and remote did not work very well

A nice place to call home for a young family
A contemporary room overlooking the gardens. It felt spacious and private event though not a very big space. Location was great and the no 59 tram suited our needs. I was able to work downstairs in the lobby one evening whilst everyone slept.
No movies, the kids were disappointed that only free to air was available. They were happy to find money and m&ms under the bed though, cleaning needs attention, bit more thorough. Lamp didn’t work on its own, only with all lights on.

Everything was easy, staff friendly, held our bags for us, was the best. Beds were awesome & comfy!

Fabulous stay for a great price will definitely return
I love the friendly staff, the cleanliness of the room and the location is fabulous. It easy to access the CBD by tram which is right at the door step. The location also allows easy access to Royal Children’s Hospital so if you have appointments there this is the place you need to stay.
My bed was a little too soft.

I would stay again, good beds, great location, ask for Park view.
The location was excellent, 15 mins tram ride to city, 15 mins tram ride to Show ground. Beds were so comfy slept really well. Pillows a bit lumpy but park view was superb. Cafe was excellent for breakfast - not open later for dinner.
There was no filtered water offered free, only mini bar. A water station in lobby or each floor would have been good.
