What guests say
8.7 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 715 guest reviews
The Melrose Hotel earns consistent praise for its spotless rooms, comfortable beds, and notably warm, accommodating staff — with several guests saying they would return or have already referred others. The dominant and recurring concern across reviews is the surrounding neighbourhood, described as rough with a prominent homeless presence, and a handful of guests feel the room rates don't fully reflect the area or the limited in-room amenities.
