This was amazing... we had a small problem when we first arrived, and they went above and beyond to care for us because of it. The service was unmatched...I would strongly recommend them to anyone looking for a well priced, convenient and enjoyable experience. I'll definitely go back if I need to in the future.

Stayed here for a few nights while visiting Melbourne. It’s definitely a great hotel, within walking distance of the city central. The rooms were comfortable and clean, and the hotel including a pool and gym as well as parking, for a small fee. I will say however, the design of the room, or at least the one we stayed in was a bit flawed. The bathroom was not separated by a door or wall but rather an opaque window pane, which made it rather uncomfortable to use while other people were in the room. Basically you had no privacy while using the toilet or shower. While this isn’t that much of an issue if travelling with children or with your partner, it’s not very comfortable for other situations. The bathroom lights were also connected to the main room, so if you switched one on or off you were also doing the same to the other. I did also notice that some of the facilities advertised, such as the spa/jacuzzi, were only available to use if you stayed in the penthouse. False advertising. I also spent a significant amount of time trying to find a website that contained basic information about the hotel or even a contact phone number to reception, but could not find it. Despite that, still an overall positive experience. Thank you for having us:

This was my second stay at The Olsen in South Yarra. The location is wonderful, with walking distance to great cafes, pubs, shops and the MCG. The beds are very comfortable and the staff are friendly and accommodating. The main areas are thoughtfully curated with artwork and subtle lighting. The only downfall is the bathrooms which are tired and in need of a revamp. They are clean but show wear. The lighting in the bathrooms is unusable for makeup application but the floor length mirrors in the bedrooms have ample light. The windows are desperately in need of a clean with grime and lots of bird droppings which impacts the great view of Chapel St. Overall I would stay here again and recommend to friends due to the location, it is superb and my favourite part of Melbourne.

Great location. Service is friendly and hospitable. Rooms are spacious however differ from the photos. Spa isn't available unless one has a penthouse. The pool is not outdoors and is quite small. The photos are far better than the actual product. Cleanliness could be better.

I really enjoyed my stay. the hotel is welcoming from the moment you enter the glass doors. staff were very friendly and helpful. rooms super clean, good size, functional. I liked the balcony too. South Yarra is a fantastic area and the Olsen is perfectly located. loved the swimming pool.
