Traveled with family
The service was good checking in. We had our own private entrance from the outside which was nice. The pool was clean and beautiful for swimming. The noise at the end of the night, late night as if they were drilling was very annoying. Breakfast is not recommended. They had a few options on their menu but it took forever to come out and half way through our wait we were told half of our items were not available. When the bill came they did not take off what we didn’t eat. The room service came every other day which was also nice. Anytime we needed towels of any sort whether for the beach or the room the staff was accommodating.

I travel monthly and have stayed many places and this place is literally perfect. Let’s begin with the staff; Executive Level Customer Service…Helpful, Responsive, Kind, Patient…Amazing!!! The cleanliness of this property is pristine and I am quite particular… no one comes to my standard even the “5 ⭐️ All Inclusive” and The Melbourne Inn does! Everything you need is in the room, they will even do a load of laundry for $13 USD!!! The outside patio space with every room is a crazy super bonus. The location is perfect, easy breezy walk to the beach, local market and a plethora of food and drink options. The people everywhere are loving, courteous and helpful. Oh AND the pool, I didn’t even realize there was a pool and it is perfect…so so clean and refreshing. I will stay here every time I come to Barbados. I truly feel blessed like tha I found on my very first visit to Barbados the gem 💎 of hospitality…Melbourne Inn. I prefer smaller places as I don’t want to trek all over a property and take 10mins to get to the front door…this place is perfect, pristine clean and phenomenal customer service. Thank you so much for the perfect home away from home ❣️
I extended my stay, so I experienced two rooms over 10 days and they both were perfect ❣️

Great and budget friendly hotel that is a walkable distance to the beach and bars/restaurants in St Lawerence Gap area. The receptionist was also really nice and super helpful. I only had a slight issue with loud guests as the walls are a bit thin but other than that I can't fault much.

The Melbourne matched our expectations. It was clean and comfortable, value for money. This was a fairly short notice trip so we couldn’t be too extravagant so the Melbourne was sufficient. We had a great time in Barbados and would not hesitate to stay at the Melbourne again!7
