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

I liked the location as it was close to where we needed to be during our stay

There was a smell coming from the drain in bathroom sink. I didn’t like the shower in the bath. We did have grand children with us but they are teenagers. My husband has problems with his balance so getting in and out of shower was a challenge.

Very comfortable beds, great location, upgraded to a better room with an extra single bed. Friendly staff.

Location cost Staff

Had to pay a $100 deposit even though I paid the full amount ahead of time. They said they’d pay me back after five to seven business days. I guess that they would take out money from that for parking, mini bar and any damages. I would rather pay it as I check out. One of the blind cord fastenings was ripped out of the plasterboard wall by someone previously. I took a photo just in case. I hope they don’t try to charge me for that.

I’ll be dreaming of that bed for a long time!

That bed!! I’ll be dreaming about it for a long time. It was so convenient, the location is perfect for hospital appointments, going to the zoo or jumping on the tram for a few minutes and being in the CBD. Parking onsite it’s also a bonus.

No negatives.

A comfortable stay in a handy location.

Very near trams into the CBD and to Melbourne Zoo. 20 minutes from the airport. Quiet. Comfortable room which was spotlessly clean. Good restaurant available in the hotel. If you are visiting the Royal Childrens' Hospital it would be an excellent place to stay because it is linked to the hospital internally on the ground floor.

Servicing of the rooms varied on a daily basis from excellent to a little below average depending on who was rostered on. On the worst day the dishes were left to drain in the bathroom on a towel and were not properly clean.

Great value for money. Staff were friendly and helpful, located right next to Royal Children’s Hospital. It was actually connected to the hospital so didn’t need to walk outside to access the hospital. Easy parking. Rooms were neat, clean, nicely decorated and comfortable. Beds were comfortable and was quiet too. Highly recommended for those needed access to the hospital.

Thank you Larwill! We will definitely be back next year for the F1!!!!

We loved that when you walked outside, the tram stop was right out the front, which made getting around so easy. The hotel was very clean and our room was serviced perfectly each day. One of my friends was celebrating a birthday and the hotel staff made a lovely effort to make her feel special by offering a birthday drink and a later checkout. Thank you so much for such a wonderful stay!

we were very happy with the stay!

Very happy would highly recommend and will definitely be staying again

Clean with friendly staff, great vibe. Great restaurant too.

Parking passes had run out so staff had to manually let people out, which took a long time and left front desk unmanned - would be good if you had a pass to use for the length of your stay.

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
