We had a great stay here. The staff are so lovely! They are friendly and helpful and so personable! The hotel is nice enough. Our room was fine but our friends room had some issues. The hotel gave them a credit at the end of the week because of the issues which was good. The location is really terrific also. Close to many restaurants, walking distance to everything and right near Dover Beach. I would definitely come here again.

Room was so nice and clean!! I enjoyed the shower and the ability to adjust the air conditioner fan!! it was nice to have a pool and also a place to get a cold drink or something to eat. It was only a few minutes walk to a beautiful beach easy to walk in and get out of public beach.

The Melbourne Inn was in some backstreet away from the beach. However it was just a short walk away. Greeted very well on arrival. The attached Bistro had friendly staff and were very chatty. Very good standard of food. The only criticism would be the Bar closed at 6:30pm when the Bistro did. Not very good for people on vacation!!

8/10 Very good

The room was clean and nice, the staff was welcoming, and having the bistro on-site was very accommodating and helpful when you do not want to go out for breakfast or lunch. My only complaint was that the room was smaller than expected, and the room only had one sink that you had to use for the bathroom/kitchen.

Lovely little hotel staff really friendly lovely little pool and area if you don't fancy the beach or for us great on our last day so we didn't need to go far. Having the little kitchen in the studio was great for a quick cuppa on the balcony at Breakfast time. Air con and massive ceiling fan in the room was great too, nice big walk in shower.

Lovely small hotel. Our room was large and clean, with a nice big balcony. There was a bit of industrial noise from an adjacent property, and a rogue rooster, but nothing earplugs couldn’t take care of. The standout attributes of the Melbourne are the very friendly and professional service and the pool-side bistro, which is beautifully furnished and decorated and the food is excellent. Even if we don’t stay there again, if we are in the area, we will return for the breakfast burrito!

I really enjoyed my stay here! All of the staff were friendly and accommodating, and the room was very clean. My favorite amenities were the pool and restaurant in the building. It was very convenient and there were a lot of great options to choose from. It's also located a short walk away from the St. Lawrence Gap and Dover beach, so there's a lot of other food options to choose from. If you're traveling to Barbados, I definitely recommend staying here!

Stayed 26/12/25 - 01/01/26. From the moment I got there, the greeting and the smile from Cherish was very welcoming; she was always attentive to anything we needed. The room was clean with fresh towels and the bed was quite comfortable. Also shout out to Devon the evening staff, who came right away with a request that I had for my dad. Great location, very good for the rate and I will definitely stay there again.
