Reviews for The Olsen

We recently stayed here as part of a family trip. My husband and I travelled with our infant twins and were very nervous about the endeavour. The Olsen proved to be the perfect choice for us. Spacious and clean rooms in addition to excellent service from all the staff we had the pleasure of dealing with. We will need to travel to Melbourne again in the future and have every intention of staying at the Olsen again.

Had a great 2 nights @ The Olsen. The staff were friendly & helpful, the room was comfortable & clean. The restaurant staff were professional. The location was fantastic! Only downsides were that some of the toiletries in the room ran out & the pillows were too soft. I would stay there again

The climate control seemed to turn off every few hours overnight, so I'd wake up hot and uncomfortable to turn it back on. Having to order toothpaste via room service (even if it's $0) when you just want to go to bed is just a little inconvenient. The shower head was quite low, and the handle to adjust it's height was either seized or had been broken at some point. Each thing on it's own wouldn't be too bad, but it starts to add up into a decision to stay somewhere else next time when you add them all together. The bed was comfortable, the light blocking curtains were great and the staff seemed helpful especially the cleaner/room service guy who was just really polite and helpful.

It's pretty sub-par. Thought it was a bit cheap for a 5 star, but that's because it's like a 3 star in quality. So ended up being too expensive for the quality. I usually stay at a 3 star hotel for half this price and my room is always bigger than the one we got here, and the quality is the exact same. Parking is pretty expensive for a 5 star too. The location is decent. The art is interesting. But the size, quality, and just general vibe is not worth the money in the slightest. We had the tiniest room for $250 a night. Would never be back and would not recommend to a friend.

The Olsen is a lovely hotel in a fantastic South Yarra location. The staff were friendly and accommodating, and the room was comfortable and well-appointed. Although we didn’t use the pool or other facilities, the hotel offered everything needed for a pleasant stay. Great breakfast! It’s conveniently close to the rail, surrounded by dining options, and only about 15 minutes by train to Melbourne’s CBD. Overall, a stylish and comfortable base in South Yarra—highly recommended.
