“GREAT LOCATION AND ITS AFFORDABLE”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 July 2011

Our stay at Melbourne Inn was fantastic, great location, close to lovely beaches and lots of food not to far from bus stop. Thanks to Ms Reid for her kind hospitality and Ms. Natalie for making our stay comfortable and making us laugh. We stayed for 7 days and our room was comfotable and always clean. Great value for money, make sure your days are planned out because there is lots to see and do in Barbados. Make sure and book the glass bottom boat with Troy and shabba and enjoy swimming with the turtles. Had lots of fun will be back to Barbados again.

“poorly run hotel, with uncaring management.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2010

What I was promised was not what was presented to me on my arrival. I requested a refund from the Owner who advised me he will consider it when he heard from my lawyer. There are many better hotels in Barbados to spend you vacation and business time. I regret ever hearing about melbourne inn and will never ever revisit that inn.

“It's not all that bad!!!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 August 2008

This was my second stay at Melbourne Inn. When we stayed there last February in their 2 bedroom apartment. There were 4 of us, and everything on the island was booked so we stayed at Melbourne. They had left the cupboards closed so we found that part of our room a little unpleasant as it was musty smelling, but overall the rooms were kept clean, we saw absolutely no bugs, and the beds were very comfortable. So we just kept those cupboards closed. At the end of our 8 days the place started to grow on us. Another positive point is that the airconditioning actually works very well. We stayed at Rostrevor in April and a similar size room was slightly cheaper than Melbourne, but no air and we thought we would die. It was soooo hot and unbearable.

I went back to Melbourrne in July a I was travelling alone. I was placed on one of the upper floors and felt very safe being on my own. You had to have a key to get in to the main office area in the evening, and then your room had a deadbolt, and so does the balcony door. Two locks on each door actually. The room was a studio. You could either have two single beds or a room with one Queen and a small round table. I stayed for 7 nights with one night being free. There wasn't any other hotel tthat matched the price, and the staff are so very friendly. Now if your used to travelling to all inclusive 3+ to 5 star hotels, the Melbourne Inn may disappoint you, but if you want to be in the middle of all the action of St. Lawrence Gap, and need a clean place to sleep, then this is the place. I am going back in October and have already contacted the staff to stay there again.
