Great quiet location. Small boutique hotel. We were luckily upgraded to a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom room. It had a kitchenette and a washing machine , ironing board , 3 televisions. It is just lacking a pool and it can get very hot in Melbourne. The staff were friendly and knowledgable. The only thing we did not like was there... more

We spent threee nights at the Lyall for our anniversary and found it a very relaxed and charming hotel. The suites were clean with modern decor and plenty of space, although there were a few minor issues with the airconditioning and TV remote controls not functioning properly, and wardrobe space was at a bit of a premium for anyone on... more

As a single woman travelling to Melbourne, I found the Lyall Hotel an outstanding place to stay. Not only is the location perfect - steps from one of the best shopping and dining areas in the city - but I immediately felt at home and warmly welcomed as soon as I arrived. The suites are spacious with an incredible attention... more

After reading many reviews and looking at the awards the Lyall had received a couple of years ago I had high expectations for this hotel. It is a nice hotel but regrettably didn’t meet my expectations or offer value for money. I’ve stayed in many 5* and boutique hotels and I wouldn’t class this as a 5* or very boutique.... more

Great location in South Yarra with heaps of Restaurants and shopping in nearby Toorak Rd and Chapel St, which is good because the hotel restaurant is very very small. Booked into the Hotel's Spa for a massage...excellent! Staff very freindly and professional, although our package included a bottle of... more

Really excellent small hotel, the Lyall, tucked away in a quiet tree-lined street in South Yarra with easy access to trains (5 mins to centre) and trams (15mins to centre). Rooms had full kitchens including washer dryer, there is a bar/breakfast lounge and also a very pleasant in- house Spa. The service was friendly and efficient and the rooms were... more

I had read so much about the Lyall, I was expecting to be bowled over. It is a nice place, but probably did not meet my expectations. The idea of a two bedroom apartment really appealed to me, but these apartments are on the small side, so there really wasn't a lot of privacy. We had booked a room with... more
