The Larwill Studio Melbourne - Art Series

The room was clean, comfortable and quiet. Trying to access the car park at 5.00pm on a Thursday afternoon was a challenge and took quite some time. The outlook over the park was pleasant. The restaurant not opening for dinner is not good for a business traveller, and the WiFi was just woeful. In fact, the only way I could get a half decent speed was to hotspot to my cell phone. The hotel is located within the RCH precinct so is perfect if you need to be close by, but I'm not so sure it ticks the boxes for a business traveller.

We had a very good stay here for one week. It has all the facilities we required and easy access to public transport. It would be great if the restaurant on site was opened for dinner. Love the microwave and coffee machine in the room.

The Larwill Studio is definitely one of my best hotel experiences that I have ever had. From the curated artworks and the minimalist, contemporary design to the comfortable bedding and friendly service, the Larwill has ticked all the boxes in terms of comfort, accessibility, and pricing. The location is very convenient, being 20 minutes from the Melbourne CBD, and is accessible via direct tram services (57/58/59) from Flinders Street and William Street. The Larwill is adjacent to the Royal Children's Hospital and a few stops away from Melbourne Zoo, which entices families and travellers who want to visit the area / Melbourne, or visit their young relatives while being cared for at the hospital. The Workspace Twin room - though awkwardly positioned next to an adjacent building - offers excellent views of the Melbourne skyline, and the premium bedding and window shades made sleeping far more comfortable and private for myself and my guests. The bathroom is large and functional, and the modern furniture and artworks add a modern, contemporary touch to this room I have stayed in. My only complaint is the lack of television channels available (only Nine and ABC were shown here). It would have been better if there is Seven, SBS, or Ten available, or some form of cable television provided (but that is an extra). Be warned that when you book the Larwill Studio, the hotel lacks a kitchenette, so you will need to bring some food over, though a microwave, espresso maker, and kettle are available for use. The service is very professional and friendly. What made this experience great was because that they allowed me to check-in before the earliest time required since the room was ready, and that they gladly accepted our request to store our luggage after checking out since me and my guests still feel like travelling to Melbourne before flying out that day. I commend the front desk team for giving me the best first-time Larwill experience and because of this I am happily welcome to stay at the Larwill again should I wish to do so. Overall, the Larwill Studio is a hotel that provides a semi-luxurious experience at a fraction of the price. The beds were comfortable, the service was excellent, and it is convenient. The Larwill is great value for money and will attract guests who want a comfortable stay without needing to break the bank.

We needed urgent accommodation at the RCH. This was super clean, easy parking, friendly staff and offered us a late checkout to help with the day we had. Will use it again as it was a really great stay!

We had a quick overnight trip to Melbourne, a group of friends catching up. I was impressed with the gorgeous view, spacious bathroom and clean room. The artwork through the hotel was great and reception were very informative and friendly.
