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.”

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.

Great hotel!

Overall the room was great with nice amenities. The staff were absolutely wonderful and helpful to the max. The restraunt was exceptional, and definitely worth visiting. I would revisit.

The bed was sagging and caused hip pain. Also with no sheer curtains, no privacy facing a building with windows. But the room was overall great and I would revisit. I know prices are up, but $8 for chips was a bummer. For some reason, I did not mind paying for the water, but not the chips.

Surrounded by nature, quiet, calm and peaceful. Left feeling relaxed and much needed.

I didn't realize that the hotel was adjacent to the Royal Children's Hospital and on arrival was taken aback and concerned about noise but it was so quiet, calm and really peaceful. The shared lobby space was ideal to work from after check out. The park view room was glorious and so lovely to be able to take a walk and really loved the entire space around the hotel - did not feel like I was in the city at all. Service was fantastic.

On check in, the mini bar had not been checked and there was a half empty bottle of wine and no tea bags or coffee. However when I noticed the staff they were very apologetic and clearly not happy and comp-ed me a fresh wine to the room. Muchly appreciated!

Clean and Comfy

The room was clean and tidy. The towels fresh, white and fluffy. The receptionist was on the ball with the parking for our car. Letting us know it was cheaper for us to pay on our way out in the morning than for her to charge us through the hotel. As we was not going out again that night.

The room 321 have a funky smell, like mould or wet sock. The room was clean and tidy though. Just a funky smell. Not the fresh clean smell you expect when walking into a hotel room.

The room was clean, staff were friendly and convenient location.

Clean, comfortable and stylish. The staff were exceptionally kind. The room has plenty of space, including a microwave, which we don’t normally see in a hotel. Quick access was convenient to the Maccas, Boost Juice and other restaurants/cafes in the RCH. The tram stop just in front of the hotel was also very convenient. We liked the kids corner in the lobby, as well.

The view wasn’t the greatest, no extra pillows, and missing usual decor items, suck as themed pillowcases and blankets. The restaurant was also closed throughout the duration of our stay.

There was a small grocery store, a McDonalds, and other facilities in the hallway connecting the hotel foyer to the Royal Children's Hospital. The hotel was also only a short walk away from the Royal Melbourne Hospital, Melbourne Private and the Women's Hospital. Public transport was everywhere and the surrounding Royal Park was a big bonus.

Comfortable rooms, in the same complex as RCH

Our baby had to have surgery at the Royal Children’s, we stayed as a family the night before then my husband stayed the second night while baby and I were in the hospital. It was a great comfort to have a room in the same complex as the hospital to go to during the surgery and for my husband to be so close by during our sons recovery. The room was clean and comfortable.

I wish that the discount for people attending the hospital had been mentioned on booking.com as we missed out on this.
