Stayed in this hotel with my partner while he was there on business and found it to be in a great location and loved the room. The bed was very comfortable and it was really close to transport, restaurants & shopping. The staff were great and very helpful. Would love to stay here again. More

Surprising because the cost of hotels in Australia has become extortionate - and the Olsen was a reasonable price and a very nice hotel. Loved the artsy theme, staff who were cool without being pretentious and some really fun, quirky designs. It's out of the city central but in a great area for cafes, shopping and people-watching. The food was... More

From the smile and 'welcome back' when you enter the hotel down to the champagne for your birthday. The following staff at the Olsen are an... More

The staff are fantastic, very helpful and accommodating. Having tried various conference facilities, this would be one of the best in Melbourne! We stayed for two days, enjoying the... More

The door to the bathroom is glass and... More
