Janice P. Friends - 7/24/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

First time at the Olsen in South Yarra and we loved it. Friendly and welcoming staff, lovely room with a kitchenette, so handy if you are staying more than a couple of days. All hotels should have a kitchenette. The restaurant was great, we had a delicious meal and a delicious breakfast. Best big breakfast I have had, you don’t get avocado and chorizo with many big breakfasts. Highly recommend.

Dear Janice, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your positive experience with us! We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay at our hotel. Providing exceptional service and a comfortable environment for our guests is always our top priority, and it's incredibly rewarding to know that we succeeded in making your visit memorable.

Nicola G. Business - 7/24/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

Lovely and helpful staff. However, in all other aspects the Olsen was a huge let down. The room was tired, every detail was poorly maintained (unclean in parts, dirty, worn out, towels were threadbare and of poor quality, no tissues, bathroom products were terrible quality, the list could go on). Roomservice menu was sub standard and the lack of breakfast to rooms was poor, particularly given the number of people staying that appeared to be traveling for business. Overall I was incredibly disappointed and will try to avoid staying there again during my numerous business trips.
