The Olsen Hotel, Melbourne

The staff in the restaurant and the front desk were great. The room was clean and tidy.

Location

Heating was way hot

Location and value for money

The lifts. Wait for ever!

The place is very comfortable and the staff were really friendly and helpful

A minor thing- the lifts were a bit slow but really no issue

Rooms and bed comfortable but starting to look old as sink in bathroom worn out and cracks

Booked a room with breakfast and then we had to pay $10 each to get a big breakfast. In the past the breakfast was much better

So comfortable and the staff were so helpful. I arrived early and they let me check into my room.

Pleasant staff, stylish decor, stunning art works, view, cleanliness, swimming pool, central location and very reasonable room rates.

Paper towels in the kitchenette would have been handy. Air conditioning was a bit noisy, had to turn it off to sleep.

Was very central to everything in Toorak & the city. We enjoyed our one night stay very much. The staff were very lovely

large comfortable apartment, well furnished.

Loved the art everywhere. We had a suite overlooking chapel st with windows on three sides.

A few things looking a bit tired in bathroom. Spa jets sprayed out filthy brown debris when activated. Terrible lighting and hard to find switches. Bedside lamp didn’t work.

Location. Nice staff. Lovely pool and sundeck.

Room details a but shabby. TV didn't work properly. Glass walls with swing door in bathroom terrible for privacy.

Love the pool and the lolly bar, lobby also smells so nice

Thought there was a spa because of advertising photo used when we asked where it was we were told it's in the penthouse

Location to family

Beautiful room and lovely pool, loved the art, the bed was very comfortable and bathroom fabulous with lovely body wash

When we first arrived to check in, there were no car parks for drop off as there were two vans blocking the drive way. There were no robes which we had to ask for and waited over an hour to request again. There wasn’t a cutting knife for cooking so we had a very late meal. We had to call reception to find out how to turn on the stove top which was a bit frustrating. There was no plug for the sink to do dishes. No cutting board to prepare meals. No salt and pepper with the condiments which would have been handy. In the pool area, there were no cups available at the water machine. No toilet available at the pool area either. The pool was a bit too cold.

Great location, lovely comfy rooms

Great location and very attentive friendly staff, willing to help with anything you ask. Left a little birthday surprise for my son, which was very lovely to come back to and find

We liked the hotel, but just a few cristisms for the purpose of improvement. There were stains (chocolate like stains ) on our curtains that I noticed when opening them, windows had fingerprints. The lifts were also really dirty, floor and entrance to lifts and mirrors were also not clean. Room service was really expensive and not great.( im nog usually fussy with food) We waited 20-30 mins for our car valet ( Sunday morning). ( I do think there was an issue with another persons car before us- I think a small incident). In fairness, usual the wait time was 5-10 mins and they did always pre warn us that it would take approx 10-15 mins

Location, accessibility to public transport, and to my target area of Melbourne

Weird pillows. As long as queen bed is wide. Not easy to arrange comfortably. Restaurant food fair average quality, but premium price: a mismatch.

Pleasant staff Great location

Location is excellent. Cool hotel and room decor. Loved the bathroom products, beautiful shower gels and shampoos. Lovely big comfortable bed. I enjoyed my stay here very much. Will definitely be back.

Staff were efficient and got things done promptly but sadly there were not many smiles or much engagement with patrons. This isn’t a huge negative just some constructive criticism.

Love the location. I am a fan of the Art Series king size pillows. The room was lovely and spacious. The standout was our dining experience. Top service and the food was exceptional.

Big room, nice space for 2 people

The toilet smelt weird when we got their and it was placed a bit weirdly in the room

NO

Location. Comfort.

Attention to detail. Room key deactivated after 1 night. Privacy tag disregarded.

Beautiful hotel facilities, pool and breakfast was great

The attached parking (which was included in my booking.com package) was inconvenient and had to walk to and from a car park across the block. It also was only covered for one entry and exit so when we wanted take our car out we couldn’t park again without incurring a huge daily fee. For a package that stated “free parking included at hotel” this was disappointing

Clean, comfortable bed & great view

Our bathroom lights didn’t work during our stay which wasn’t that much of a big deal as we use the lights from our kitchen to shower.

Great location, charming staff

Drag racing along chapel st at night & the hotel is starting to look tired and worn

size price and location

aged room and finishings, bird poo on window, aged gym and pool

Great rooms, large and very comfortable, location close to city and restaurants, great pool, staff very friendly.

Nothing

My room is close to the ground.

The electrical wiring on the left side of the bed in room one is in need of repair.

comfortable bed

TV

Closeness to our family

All good

Rooms are always comfortable and spacious

The gym is a bit small

Great location opposite the Como Centre on Chapel St. The room was spacious and well appointed, and the beds were very comfy! Our view was of Chapel St which was nice, except there was traffic noise at night.

We didn't have breakfast included with our room, so breakfast was from the menu and quite pricey. Parking at the hotel is $40 a night. Park opposite in the Como centre for $15 flat rate on weekends! No complimentry water in the room. It's $5 a bottle. Bring your own.

Location. Bed Value for money

Lack of area to sit comfortably outside of room. Staff at front desk and concierge (not sure they even have one) don’t interact very well,

Location, cleanliness, friendliness

Nil

Spoonbill Restaurant good. Location good. Great staff.

Rooms a bit dated. Fitness Centre substandard

The room was so loud with aircon/warming starting and shutting down every few minutes and made the loudest squealing noise - was hard to sleep with it going on

easy checkin , great location, funky rooms.

its fine

Location and the sweet bar!

Nothing not to like

Great location and lovely large room

Breakfast was limited and a La carte only

We like the location as it is close to the city, shops and public transport. The reception was very accommodating with our requests. We love how spacious the family ensuite with very good value.

Great property in a great location. The room was a very clean and very quite. Breakfast was great. We were there for one night so took the smallest cheapest room. (The small part was the bathroom, room was normal hotel size)

There was no parking spaces left at the the hotel- even though they say there is no need to reserve on booking.com. It should say they do not take reservations for parking. First in first served. We parked at the Como across the street $15.50 for the night :)

Always an excellent stay - The beds are wonderful. Staff very friendly and helpful.

No complaints

Just a quick over night stay, but thought the accommodation was good value for money

The cabinet door for the fridge needed adjustment. Didn’t close properly

Second time staying at the Olsen. Great location, short walk to everything you need. Shower was lovely. Room was spacious. Staff were great, asked us how our stay was which is often not asked any more

I didn’t like that in an apartment style room the fridge was full of mini bar items. One shelf I can understand but not the whole fridge I think the rooms are needing a little TLC, curtains were coming off the wall.

Well appointed rooms

The microwave in my room wasn't working

Great location. Can tram to town or wander down Chapel Street for great coffee. Room was small but fine for two.

was a very spacious room with everything needed. bed was extremely comfortable. location is close to lots of great restaurants, shopping etc.
