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.”

Fantastic experience - loved everything!
As soon as I opened the door to my room I loved it! The quirky design, the amazing view, the great amenities & the high level of cleanliness. Everything about the room was excellent! Would definitely stay again.

Great artwork everywhere, can’t help but be cheery.
The artwork was great. The restaurant had friendly staff, fast and efficient kitchen too.
I found it hard to find initially but it is very close to the CBD so a great spot.

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.

Very friendly and accommodating staff
It is rare to find a hotel with a bathtub near the city. This place is such a gem. Good facility. Easy to get to by public transport. Next to a large park for a relaxing walk. You can pay a bit more for the corner room on higher floor with view over the park and the city skyline.

Perfectly located by the hospital, stylish hotel, and very comfortable
We really enjoyed our one-night stay at Larwill Studio. The hotel is conveniently located right next to the Royal Children’s Hospital, which made our early appointment easy to reach on foot. The hotel’s decorations were lovely, and it had all the facilities we needed for a comfortable stay

Lovely hotel. Comfortable.
Rooms are beautifully appointed. Beds are comfortable. View of the park is lovely. Location is great as I was travelling for work and needed to be near North Melbourne/Parkville for the conference.
There used to be gym access via a local gym, however this is no longer available. The park next door however does offer great options for those who enjoy a walk/run.

Clean and comfortable and in the same building as the Melbourne Royal children's Hospital.

Brilliant, so comfortable.
The Larwill is ultimately comfortable and it has all you need except a gym! But, there is an excellent park outside the door which is perfect for walking and runs.
There isn’t a gym.

Stylish, convenient, well appointed hotel especially if you are visiting Royal Childrens Hospital
The hotel is quite stylish and well appointed with quality fixtures and amenities. We had a wonderful view of hot air balloons floating past our window in the morning. Very convenient to get to our 9am appointment at Royal Childrens - we didn't have to leave the building. Checkout at 11am was really convenient too.

Great Location, friendly staff
We love coming to stay here for appointments at the Children's Hospital. It's easily accessible via public transport or by car. We love the Nature park, a short stroll away, and it's an easy tram ride to the zoo. Great for the kids. We had a room with a park view and woke up to hot air balloons drifting past our window. We were thrilled.
I would love a cloth and dishwashing liquid to wash the dishes.

I liked that I was in the same building as the hospital. Because that was the reason for our stay.
The room was very small

We had great stay at The Larwill studio
The location: not far from CBD and very quiet: just in front of the Royal Park The staff is nice and helpful
We did not book the breakfast, which was quite expensive, but it is comprehensible. You can buy a meal outside and reheat in the microwave oven in the room.

Lovely staff and convenient parking
We liked it was so close to the doctors office that we had appointment to, so we just used an elevator to go there without leaving the building, plus there is a secure parking and the café downstairs was great too- very convenient for a stay like that
We didnt realize there was a free wifi, didn’t notice any signs of it in the room.
