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!!

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.
