Absolutely horrible. I trusted Expedia and they failed at all accounts on sending myself and my girlfriend to this place. My girlfriend literally cried all night because of this place. First night of our vacation and we got into a huge fight because I booked this place. Bars on the window similar to prison. Hallway stall toilet and hallway stall showers. Cheap hard bed with little bedding. A cheap fan to use in your room. Cheap furniture. The whole thing is beyond low class. Nobody helps you with your bags. It’s literally a place that’s kind of like a hostel. But for adults and whoever else. Costed us more than $100 to get to and from the airport. They don’t help with taxi service. What a terrible nightmare. The entire experience was horrendous from arrival to getting a cab back to the airport. I just would of done it myself and not gone through Expedia.

I arrived late and though I couldn’t get a hold of the hotel by phone, I eventually got through via email and they had security stay up late to check me in. The room was fine and a fan was helpful. The bathroom was across the hall but also - not a huge deal. If you’re looking for budget travel this is a good choice. I was able to walk to the park, downtown and the ferry to Tobago.

The property is good for the value. The staff are accommodating and friendly. It is close to everything.

Hotel is very run down but reasonably clean given its condition. We had emailed asking for a taxi to be sent to collect us from ferry but we had no reply & no taxi! We had deliberately booked a twin room as that suits us best but we were given a very small double room with tiny double bed. When I explained that we had booked a twin they said they did not have one free. At least there were lots of eating places & a shop close by.

home style feel, great location. Got the cheaper room with no AC, just a fan. Not a problem for me, but the mosquitos were everywhere, first night I literally killed 15 mosquitos. Next night was about 11, thus had to sleep with long sleeve and socks. That part of the stay was uncomfortable, I deal with all other insects with no problem for the most part, but mosquitos is one of the few that I absolutely dislike. Never killed so many insects in my life.

Excellent location, only 30 sec. from Ariapita Avenue where one will find restaurants and bars that offer Chinese to American food and anything in between. Short walk to Independent Square and the Immaculate Conception Cathedral

This hotel is a short walk from restaurants and bars. The desk staff were extremely helpful and very hospitable. I stayed for only two days for a birthday get a way. I enjoyed my trip and the service I received. Thank you to everyone I encountered.

The people at this hotel were generally very friendly and helpful, and that's the main positive thing about this place. Plus perhaps the location: close to downtown and with sufficient shops and eateries nearby. And the price was pretty ok for Port of Spain. Furthermore, this place really needs a proper refubishment. The walls are paper thin, the bed sheets had stains, the floor and ceiling were falling apart (especially in the bathroom with a lot of broken tiles: sharp edges!) and there was mould in the bathroom. The place really has potential, though, it just needs proper refurbishing. All in all, as of today, I think I'd try to find another place next time.

Lots of mosquitoes, worst bathroom ever. I just think my home is way better a hotel than MelbourneInn Hotel. In as much as Expedia need to do business, i think MelbourneInn hotel must not be a hotel to be associated with. Expedia is a great company with better reputation

Location of Melbourne is excellent as it is just off the central hub of nightlife in Port of Spain (Ariapita Avenue). Easily inside walking distance to restaurants, street food, fast food, Clubs, pharmacies and a supermarket. The room was quite clean with the exception of the Air condition vent. Daily cleaning ensured the room was well maintained. It is a fairly simple room containing a bed, small refrigerator, pair of nightstands, table, sink, television mounted on the wall and a wardrobe. Though it should be noted that the layout is a bit awkward when it comes to the washroom as one has to pass through the shower to get to the toilet. From arrival to departure all staff was very courteous and helpful. However after leaving the room we realized an item was left behind. i re-visited the next day to ask management however the gentleman said that he did not get any items therefore it must have been tossed out. I asked him if he could be so kind to check the room as no other person had yet used it but he refused. I thought this could have been handled a lot better.

This hotel was very disappointing. It was rather expensive and facilities were poor. There was no hot water for the first night and I was told it was heated by solar power so let the water run which I did for over 2 hours.Not my idea of a hotel experience thumbs down!
