Expert reviews

New York Times review:

“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.”

Telegraph review:

“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.”

Fabulous

The spaces in the hotel and the room. The view.

Lack of room service. Only one power point beside the bed, that was being used by the lovely lamp.

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.

My fridge didn't get restocked every day and they didn't have any bottles of water at the front desk.

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.

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.

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.
