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.

They are very accommodating. There was a small issue with our room nothing major but they insisted we be relocated to another room which by the way was an upgrade to our previous room. Also, the staff was very friendly.

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
