We stayed for one night with our two kids so we didn’t have to drive all the way home, and it ended up being such a fun little getaway! It was the kids’ first hotel experience — TVs in the bedroom, pool time, snacks, the lot. The location was great too, just a short 200m walk to our restaurant. The staff were lovely — they let us check in early so the kids could jump straight in the pool, and even sent up chocolates to celebrate my husband’s birthday. We were also offered two complimentary drinks, though we didn’t get a chance to use them. Breakfast was pleasant but a bit underwhelming — we were expecting a buffet, so that’s on us for not reading the fine print. Overall, a really enjoyable stay with thoughtful touches that made it special for the kids.

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

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.
