We have already made a complaint to 2 staff members, but the Olsen has requested a survey twice now, so we will pass this information on. We've been staying at The Olsen for years. Sometimes we stay for weeks at a time. On our stay last week, the hotel has deteriorated dramatically. Our room had mismatched lamp shades, the bed side tables were all crooked, there was a disgusting odour coming from the air conditioning vent. There was no book shelf in the room. The car park roller door would not work almost every time we tried to enter the hotel. The Spoonbill restaurant has also declined a lot. The food prices are much higher than they used to be, but the quality is not there. Some meals are good and others are terrible, it's very inconsistent. We had one breakfast with a beautiful coffee which was great, but then our poached eggs were cold and rock hard. It was not busy at the time. We understand that things don't always go smoothly in a hotel, and we can accept some problems, as long as the overall experience is positive. The Olsen was always our favourite hotel to come to in Melbourne. But this last visit was so bad, it was very disappointing to see the place go downhill. One last point - the pricing of the accommodation has gone up a lot over the last couple of years. You can't charge more and provide much less - people will go elsewhere, they will not return. I don't mind paying to stay in a high quality hotel, but if I pay premium price, I expect the hotel room and facilities to be of a high standard.

I had a change in circumstances just before I was coming to Melbourne for my stay - the friend I was supposed to be meeting was advised not to travel for health reasons. Thank you for refunding the second room very quickly.

Had a lovely 3 night stay. The hotel is very nice with lots of beautiful art and great in-room facilities. Perfect location close to the station and Chapel Street but down a quiet street so doesn't feel too hustle bustle.
