Stayed at Zagame for 3 nights. Easy walking distance from Melbourne Central/Chinatown. Loads of restaurants further up the road on Lygon Street. My room was very clean. The only downsides was that the room was quite dark even after you turn on all the lights, and the main window in the room was facing the courtyard so I opted to keep the blinds closed during my stay otherwise other guests can see inside the room. Aside from that, I enjoyed my stay here, and would look to book another stay here in the future. The air conditioning worked well, there was a big screen TV with Chromecast and free movies, and the bathroom is very spacious and modern. I also made use of the gym on site which was handy.

My check-in at Zagame's was probably the best customer service experience I've had in years! The Sri Lankan born gent (apologies that I cannot remember the pronunciation of your name) that served me was very courteous and informative and thorough with his explanation of the property and surrounds. He is a great asset for your business. Central location and easy onsite parking. Easy to walk into the city from here. Room was very clean and functional with a very comfortable bed and assortment of pillows to choose from. Great job Zagame's. Very satisfied customer.

Close to Royal Exhibition Centre and Melbourne Museum. Also walking distance to centre of the city. Only downside was the lack of parking if you have your own car with you.

Zagame is an.acceptable place. This is not a 5 star property but plays well in its category. We thought oir room cleanliness.could have been more thorough, bedding should have been replaced daily, and the room rug/decorative pillows needed an overdue cleaning. Staff was good.

I stayed at this property 21 to 26 of March. I was charged in excess of $2,000. Staff were nice but nothing over the top. The housekeeping was terrible with each day being different from the last. The staff need to be told this and go through update of duties. Beds were made haphazardly and we were not always given milk for tea. The floor was not always vacuumed to any sort of standard. The room was very noisy being at the front of Lygon Street. The glass surrounding the toilet and shower is quite comical. Certainly married couples would not really mind but travelling couples do and I feel something should be done. All in all I found our stay extremely disappointing and would never recommend the hotel to anyone. The Lord Lygon is another matter and this restaurant was a real treat and one of the nicest restaurants on our trip. Staff there were wonderful.

The room was clean and had ample space. The bed was comfortable. The hotel room had relatively low lighting and there weren't any bright lights to brighten up the room. The shower pressure was great and plenty of hot water, but I did not like the open shower floor design...the shower and bathroom sink are included in an open floor plan with drains...you can track water from the shower over to the sink and next to the sleeping area...you can't wear socks to the sink area after a shower or they get wet (unless you use towels to block water). Hotel reception staff were very professional and helpful. Hotel is in an international district area with many asian and italian restaurants. About a 8 min walk to the area where you can pick up the free tram.

Great location that’s out of the way of the city so in a quiet spot but still within a few minutes walk to get to it. Hotel staff are very friendly and helpful. Nice clean room with all the usual amenities. The only drawback is the actual privacy within the room. The sliding door to the bathroom does nothing for privacy as it’s see through and you can hear everything - even a pin drop! The glass wall next to the room door is also quite imposing as it’s lets the light whilst trying to sleep (even with the blind) and is also very noisy. Fine if you’re alone but if you’re sharing the room can be a bit much. Reasonably priced though. I would come again if I was alone.

Property is in a wonderful location, in the heart of Carlton. The room was clean, quiet, and very nicely decorated - one thing to note is the rooms don't get much natural light (as one window is frosted and the other looks out into the car park and hallway where other residents walk past to get to their rooms).

The rooms are beautifully appointed and the staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast excellent. Comfortable bed. Coffee pod machine in the room was really appreciated. Luxurious double showerhead and bathroom fixtures. All the accessories you could want. Bathrobes to wear while watching a wide screen tv. My only disappointment was no window looking out. Only one looking towards the corridor which had to be kept shaded for privacy.

Das Hotel ist sehr gut gelegen. Von nahegelegenen Bus- und Tram-Haltestellen aus kann man Touren in alle Richtungen starten. Im zehn Minuten entfernten Queen Victoria Village (QV) gab es einen Woolworths-Supermarkt, einen schönen Food Court und weitere Fachgeschäfte. Etwas differenzierter fällt die Bewertung meines Zimmers aus. Positiv anzumerken ist, dass die Dusche sehr schön war und ich im Bett gut schlafen konnte. Negativ aufgefallen sind mir folgende Punkte: Das Zimmer war klein und sehr dunkel. Die Luftqualität im Raum war durchwachsen. Es fehlte Stauraum für die Kleidung. Es gab eine Ablagefläche für einen Koffer, darüber eine Kleiderstange mit Bügeln, ein kleines Bodenfach und ein Regal über der Minibar. Der Spülkasten war undicht, wodurch etwa alle 50 Minuten ein nerviges Zischgeräusch zu hören war. Vom Bett aus sah man auf den Sicherungskasten. Und schließlich war die Anmeldung im Hotel-WLAN umständlich. Ich hätte mir vorab die Hotelbeschreibung genauer anschauen sollen. Dann hätte ich mir dieses teure Missverständnis wahrscheinlich erspart. Ein Satz zum Hotelrestaurant: Es gab eine gute Weinauswahl, das Essen war jedoch eher durchschnittlich. Für eine, maximal zwei Übernachtungen ist das Hotel okay. Für einen längeren Aufenthalt mit größerem Gepäck ist es jedoch unpraktisch und ungeeignet. Ich würde es nicht noch einmal buchen.

We stayed for 6 nights whilst visiting our daughter in Melbourne. The location was great for accessing the areas of Fitzroy and Carlton along with the CBD. The room was a good size with good quality fitments. My two major gripes are; - Lighting in the room could be better - The paper thin sliding door to the bathroom is not ideal - privacy is poor

Nice room, but quite small and definitely not enough space for two suitcases. Didn’t enjoy the big floor to ceiling window facing the corridor, so everyone can see in. You can shut the blinds, but they you’re blocking out the main source of light in the room. Nice toiletries in the bathroom though.

We were impressed and grateful for the reception received at Zagame’s House. Arriving early at the hotel after an early flight we were in our room by 9:30am which is unheard of. We had expected to leave our luggage in storage until much later in the day but the receptionist made every effort to get us our room quickly after our arrival. We really appreciated this. The rooms are very comfortable and breakfasts delicious. I would definitely stay at Zagame’s house again.

Dion (GM) and his team do an amazing job of making sure that every detail is attended to! What impressed me most was Dion’s personal interest in accepting constructive feedback and then acting upon it. He made our 4-day visit to Melbourne so much more enjoyable through his actions. They’ve thought of every detail in the rooms and even some that we would never have thought of! An absolutely wonderful boutique hotel that is close to everything! We’ll look forward to returning on our next trip to Melbourne and hopefully seeing the new EV chargers!😊

The breakfast was nice; it’s a la carte and you pay separately. The area was ok, but it was a good 15-20 mins walk from anywhere more central.

We did receive a $50 credit towards a meal at the onsite restaurant, which we used for breakfast - a stellar meal! For our needs for this stay, the hotel was perfect. There is also a whole street of restaurants adjacent to the hotel, but mostly college type meals - lots of pizza and italian, and also some asian cuisine as well. A great stay and would certainly stay again.
