The Larwill Studio Melbourne - Art Series 48 Flemington Road, Parkville, Victoria 3052

"Would deffs recommend this hotel :) Was a great stay while in Melbourne for a few days seeing son in hospital. The room was nice and clean, comfortable beds and very awesome heater kept myself and my partner warm at night. The hot water pressure was perfect was very perfect location. The staff was very lovely to deal with when we needed anything. Would deffs stay again for sure."

"Rooms are basic but great value, very clean and fresh. Excellent location and a great hotel if you have kids. Bath is a big plus. Also we didn’t have to constantly feel like the kids are about to break something fragile."

"I booked a room at this hotel out of convenience as my child had an appointment at the royal children’s. Such a great convenient location. But that’s about the only positive thing I have to say on this occasion. The hotel like many doesn’t use doona covers, just a doona between 2 sheets. The doona we not so luckily landed had a patch of dried blood on it right near our heads. Which would have been very obvious to housekeeping staff when they made up the bed. I then paid for parking through the hotel which is slightly cheaper than the RCH day rate. However when I went to swipe us out of the car park the pass wouldn’t work so I had to pay again and pay the higher price. The hotel then only refunded me their portion so it ended up costing me more. Then low and behold, after travelling home 2 and half hours by myself with 3 very small children (not for the faint hearted) I open my emails with a notification that I’ve been charged for 2 mini bar beverages that we never had!!!! No description on the invoice of what they were either. We didn’t have anything from the mini bar, in fact I was on the kids cases about not touching the mini bar and thankfully they we very obliging and didn’t. If the housekeeping staff don’t have great attention to detail with the simple task of bedding, then I have zero doubt in their capabilities of managing a mini bar. I found majority of the staff we came across were not very warm, happy or welcoming and just seemed to be doing the bare minimum when it comes to customer service and hosting. What was meant to be a stay to make our time at the RCH and away from home just the bit less stressful, has now added to the stress of the day. I am so very upset about it all and wish I never stayed at the Larwill :("

"Such friendly and helpful staff. Rooms were very comfortable- my stay was for a week for work purposes and was easy to relax in the evening. Having current mobility issues the staff went that extra mile to be helpful."

"Enjoyed my weekend stay away. Rooms are quiet and comfy. Quilt had a stain, and the bathroom glass cups were dirty. Other room amenities were fine Service at the front desk was generally pretty good. We left this morning, and the person at the desk looked like they couldn't be bothered there- no smile, one hand in pocket the whole time including when they were grabbing the parking key, didn't say much apart from if it was ok to deduct the parking from my card and if we had used the parking key before. Would probably stay here again :)"
