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.”

See above.

The location to the central business district and the garden/park next door.

There was not a ramp from the front door to the reception desk. Unless one used the lift you had to use multi steps to get up.

Lovely hotel - quietly stylish and with very pleasant views

Really well situated hotel right by Royal Park, so if you have a room looking over the park it's absolutely lovely. There's a tram running past for convenient transport and a big carpark below. The rooms are fairly spacious and really well appointed - nothing too fancy just very well done. The bed, in particular, is very comfortable. We enjoyed the Larwill artworks everywhere.

Everything was great.

Good location, good food, close to tram and helpful staff. Good follow up and guidance from venue.

Check in staff were helpful, including guidance on parking in the building, the restaurant staff were also great and the food plentiful and delicious. The tram was close by and we had a wonderful view of a park. Being next to the hospital allowed us to also indulge in other meal outlets.

A little pricey but it was ahead of the F1 GP weekend and overall it was a good stay in Melbourne.

Comfortable stay

How spacious the room + bathroom was. Quiet area and convenient food options in the hospital connected to it and across the street. Tram stop 2 mins walk away lends to easy access to CBD.

Beds were too soft. Something more supportive would be great. TV could have better connectivity options.

Close to the Melbourne zoo. The Royal park is just a few minutes walk. Other facilities, e.g. fcar park, food, toilet, supermarket, even a salon in the children's hospital complex are easily accessible for hotel guests.

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.

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.
