Reviews for Zagame's House Carlton
Jonathan B
Truly like a home away from home. We had a wonderful stay at Zagame's. Highly professional staff greeted us warmly at reception and arranged for a beautifully appointed room at a very reasonable price. Thanks to extremely comfy bed and pillows we had an excellent sleep. The location is ideal-- a short way to the heart of Melbourne's CBD to the south and all the Carlton eateries just to the north. Yet our room was very quiet.Secure parking availability helped make this one of the most convenient places to stay in Melbourne.

I travel to Melbourne regularly for work and Zagame House is the only place I'll stay. The staff are friendly, helpful and professional. The hotels own dining is top tier only to be topped by the Little Lygon wine-bar and dining next door. Excellent music curation throughout, an adequate gym all in addition to well appointed rooms, always sparkling clean and some of the most comfortable beds and pillows you'll ever sleep on. Located on the north side makes for easier access to and from the airport and is at the base of a strip of cheap eats and entertaining nightlight (especially the latter half of the week). It can be a little noisy with the surrounding traffic but nothing that will effect your sleep. 10/10 would recommend to all, business or pleasure.

Absolutely loved my stay at Zagame! The hotel itself is lovely, and the bed was incredibly comfy—one of the best I’ve slept in. The staff at reception were so friendly and helpful; we arrived early and they kindly texted us as soon as our room was ready. Housekeeping was top-notch, and the pillows and bedding made it feel like a home away from home. Highly recommend the superior king!

From the moment I arrived, Mohi absolutely made my stay. He went above and beyond in every possible way, making me feel genuinely welcome. His warmth, attention to detail, and effortless professionalism turned a wonderful stay into an unforgettable one. Mohi is truly exceptional and a credit to Zagame’s House. The rest of the team were also fantastic, always friendly, welcoming, and greeting me with a smile whenever our paths crossed. It created such a positive and relaxed atmosphere throughout the hotel. The Zagame’s Suite itself is divine. Beautifully designed, incredibly comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped with everything you could possibly need. It’s a space you genuinely look forward to returning to at the end of the day. As if that wasn’t enough, Mohi also recommended Da Guido’s for dinner, and what an incredible suggestion. We loved it and would never have discovered it without him. Thank you, Mohi and the entire Zagame’s team, for such an unforgettable stay. I will be back without hesitation on my next trip to Melbourne. Zagame’s House and especially Mohi are simply outstanding, a rare gem!

The room was beautifully appointed, with a super comfy bed and lovely bathroom with great features. The space had a luxurious feel at a reasonable price and all in a terrific location. The best bit was the exceptional and friendly staff. From the moment we arrived, our check-in was lovely, thoughtful, and welcoming. Our check-out was just as smooth and we were impressed by the staff remembering it was my partner's birthday, adding a wonderful and personal touch to check out. The service we received was impeccable from start to finish. Really big shout out to the amazing staff. The on-site parking (limited) but easy to access was also a big plus.
