What guests think
At Art Series - The Larwill Studio, guests often praise the hospital-adjacent, tram-linked location, spacious quiet rooms with park views and comfy beds, overall clean spaces, and friendly staff, making it a practical, low-fuss base for Melbourne visits.
Many appreciate easy parking options and the creative art-filled design. Common drawbacks include limited or inconsistent on-site dining and room-service availability, confusing parking processes, and bathrooms with shower-over-bath setups that some find slippery; a few guests reported odours or service missteps such as slow check-in or billing mix-ups. Expect a comfortable, handy base for hospital appointments and city exploring.

They should have removed the gym from their advertisement. I book based on location and amenities. I found this musleading as they no longer can offer this service. Completely misleading the dissapointing.

DON'T BOTHER. We arrived at 3pm with a check-in time of 2pm and the room wasn't ready, we we're told to leave and they will call us when it's ready, no apology. The parking is so poorly explained in the welcome email. When I asked the girl to explain it to me she responded so rudely, asking me how often I will need to leave. She eventually handed me a piece of paper that explains that you need to enter and receive a ticket, park your vehicle and when you need to leave you need to go to reception and sign out a pass, leave the car park from a different exit and then drive around the front, park your car and bring the pass back to them. This costs $28 a night (as explained in the welcome email) yet I was charged for 3 days use of parking even though we only stayed 2 nights. The bathroom was dirty, with marks on the wall and other people's hair on the floor. The check-out time is 11am, yet we had someone trying to open the door without knocking at 9am. As I said, don't bother.

Made an early morning children’s hospital appointment so hassle-free. Everything from parking to check in was straightforward and close together. Easy access to the Tullamarine freeway (tolled) for our escape to the country afterward. We stayed a Sunday night and the restaurant wasn’t open, but we got to the hospital food court by 5:30 and had Japanese for dinner. If we were much later, the option was McDonalds or have to explore other options locally. Also, we parked using the hospital car park (still opposite the hotel entry) with entry after 4pm/exit before 8am for $9 otherwise it’s pricey. Parked around the corner on Gatehouse St for free for our remaining 2hours at the hotel. The nature playspace beside the hospital is fantastic btw. Great breakfast at the cafe, again at the hospital food court. The shower was not the best I’ve had, but as a lovely, clean and comfortable hotel with bonus city lights from the window sill this was a great experience. We will be back.

A nice place to stay. The parking is confusing though as it was stated to go inside and check in first, however when checking in we were told to just enter and get a card and then you get a different one afterwards to leave. Not many dining options around, we found one but it was in the hospital next door which turned out to be closed. We then had to resort to using Uber eats.

Constant bad odour from bathroom. Was very unpleasant. Housekeeping also did not restock amenities during stay. Desk staff were lovely. Was initially given an accessible room on check in and staff were able to reshuffle to move me to another room. Rooms were quiet with minimal noise from other rooms heard. Right next door to RCH with connecting corridor. Not much food option within the direct vicinity of the hotel if you arrive after 8pm. Overall a comfortable stay but nothing memorable.

I love the park view rooms which give a very attractive outlook over sweeping parkland. I always find the rooms quiet and clean. I like that there is a desk at which I can work. The adjoining cafe provides consistently good breakfasts. The hotel is conveniently located on the city fringe with a tram stop virtually on the doorstep.

Nice large room, comfy king bed and good view on park side. Good heating aircon & microwave handy. Shower over bath not the safest and very narrow but none the less a decent shower and bathroom. Nice selection of toiletries. Walls a bit marked and tatty. Quiet 3 night stay Just unfortunately didn’t feel the service was there. It felt as if they were doing us a favour on check in, not welcoming at all, staff consistently showed lack of joy for job or customers approaching desk or passing through foyer. A simple hello, how are you or how's your day goes a long way. Maybe lucky for them business is reasonable as most are there due to illness as next to hostiptals. Nice resturant, very friendly staff and good breakie menu with great coffee.

I enjoy staying at the Larwill. Convenient, great location and very good facilities. On this particular stay my check in left a bit to be desired. I arrived well after the 2-00 pm check in time and was told my room wasn’t ready. I was ok with this as these things can happen but I was a bit disappointed when after being told they would let me know when my room was ready and they did not get back to me. It was only after waiting an extra half hour that I enquired at the desk was my room ready that they then swung into action.

After a long 2 days, travelling via Air Ambulance and attending our son’s Pre Admission at RCH Olivia on the front desk really made our overnight stay at Larwill. She was kind, thoughtful and helped our tricky logistics with empathy and care. We always love staying at the Larwill, the beds are so comfortable and the rooms clean well appointed and quiet, but and this experience reminded me why we keep coming back. Thank you Olivia we really appreciated it ✨🌷🙏

Perfect location for appointments in the RCH. Can park in the hospital car park for a discounted rate, rooms are clean, reception staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast was at the cafe in front of the hotel and was really nice. Couldn't fault our stay

I love the park view rooms which give a very attractive outlook over sweeping parkland. I always find the rooms quiet and clean. I like that there is a desk at which I can work. The adjoining cafe provides consistently good breakfasts. The hotel is conveniently located on the city fringe with a tram stop virtually on the doorstep.

We had a beautiful couple of days at Larwill. The location is so convenient for getting around the city with the beautiful park on the doorstep with great walking tracks and access to trams on both sides. Considering the location being on Flemington road, the rooms are incredibly quiet and private. Thanks and will definitely stay again.

The room was lovely and clean, the beds were super comfy, couldn’t fault the room at all. Upon arrival we were given our coupons for the breakfast I had paid for while booking, unfortunately there was no pre warning that there would be no breakfast due to kings birthday, the alternative didn’t work for our needs. Upon checking out is where our issues arose, we were told we had been charged $100 for the breakfast on our first morning but they could also see that we had prepaid during booking for breakfast and couldn’t explain why we were now being charged more for breakfast. Told we would be contacted about this mishap but have yet to hear anything back and still have not received our $100 bond back. The communication between the Farmacy and the hotel is horrible, the Farmacy isn’t open for lunch or dinner over the weekend and we were also informed by other guests that it wasn’t even available Friday night which they weren’t told about and had to find alternatives which isn’t a whole lot for the area

Fabulous property for a family getaway. We were excited about booking into the Farmacy but were extremely disappointed with the food. It was well below pub standard, poorly cooked and presented. It could go with a visit from Gordon Ramsay as it should be humming!

Made an early morning children’s hospital appointment so hassle-free. Everything from parking to check in was straightforward and close together. Easy access to the Tullamarine freeway (tolled) for our escape to the country afterward. We stayed a Sunday night and the restaurant wasn’t open, but we got to the hospital food court by 5:30 and had Japanese for dinner. If we were much later, the option was McDonalds or have to explore other options locally. Also, we parked using the hospital car park (still opposite the hotel entry) with entry after 4pm/exit before 8am for $9 otherwise it’s pricey. Parked around the corner on Gatehouse St for free for our remaining 2hours at the hotel. The nature playspace beside the hospital is fantastic btw. Great breakfast at the cafe, again at the hospital food court. The shower was not the best I’ve had, but as a lovely, clean and comfortable hotel with bonus city lights from the window sill this was a great experience. We will be back.

Staying at the Larwill to provide a safe place before an early start at the RCH was a perfect choice. Convenient parking downstairs. Staff friendly, food delish and plenty of options. Really enjoyed the wander to explore the artwork. The in-room snacks and bar was super expensive, but not an issue for us anyway. So grateful we could add a cot for our little one. The cot could have done with a mattress, luckily there was a blanket in the robe. Overall, an excellent place to stay, perfect location and highly recommend if you're in the area.
