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
