Love the Olsen for it's art and design flair. Great location and service at the desk. My only gripe this was with the restaurant, where I ordered dinner on a quiet night and it took thirty minutes for the entree and meal to arrive. The staff were apologetic, though would have appreciated a discount for my time.

Great location! Disappointing room.

Customer review rating 1.5/5

A R. Families - 28/05/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

Second time we stayed at this hotel. The first time in January of 2020 we stayed in a Two bedroom open plan suite. It was furnished beautifully and super clean. We just stayed recently again on the 23rd of May and we are so disappointed. Decided to upgrade our room, due to it being my husbands birthday, this time and stay in a Two Bedroom Deluxe Balcony Suite. Well over $500 per night. The room smelt putrid. The bathroom had paint peeling off the ceiling and the sink had holes and cracks in it. The carpet was lifting in the entry way. When you pay that sort of money, I felt really ripped off.

My wife and I stayed at the Olsen 7 years ago and it was fantastic. We decided to do this again recently and its probably the last time. its a bit tired now, however that wasn't the real issue. Its not having enough staff. We paid for two nights including breakfast each day. Day one it took 1 hour to get our breakfast AND we got in at 10am when it wasn't at its busiest. I felt sorry for the poor manager trying to do the job of 4. They were severely understaffed and I think its still a legacy of COVID and the lack of internationals and students available to run cafes and restaurants. We decided not to use our breakfast voucher the next day. Management were very apologetic about the long wait for breakfast and gave us our meal for free, which was nice but they didn't need to we were happy to pay. Even though it took 1 hour to get breakfast no one checked in with us, asked as how long we had been waiting, or even gave us water. They could have even given us our coffee to ease the wait but that didn't come until food did. Real shame because the breakfast was really really nice. Sunday afternoon we ordered room service only to find no room service Sundays and Mondays after midday. WOW. Crazy for a hotel. It cannot say its a 5 staff hotel anymore. Its about 3 stars. I think the Olsen is struggling post COVID....although as i write this we have 15 outbreaks of COVID again and likely to go into another lockdown.

Dear Stacey, Thank you for taking the valuable time to tell us about your experience at the The Olsen Melbourne - Art Series.
