Amazing friendly staff. The cleaning team also always said hello and did an excellent job, going above and beyond with their care and attention to detail. The hotel is close to the market, beach, and restaurants, which is perfect.

This is a decent place to stay for a night or two. The taxi cost $35 USD from the airport but it’s best to ask the taxi line operator for a rate slip prior to getting in the cab or they might try to charge whatever they want. We were leaving for a cruise the next day and needed somewhere affordable and clean for a short stay. The property is small and very basic (no bells and whistles) but it did have a nice pool area and it is close to restaurants, shops and the beach. The staff were friendly and helpful. Room was okay - again very basic but good for a short stay. It was clean, had a fridge, microwave, balcony, good water pressure, ample space and a variety of TV channels. The bed was rock hard and quite uncomfortable but at least there is AC. It is a 2 minute walk to Irie Foods - a great Jamaican restaurant with tasty food and there is a small convenience store nearby selling drinks, snacks, toiletries etc (but it is rather expensive). Overall the hotel was okay - served its purpose for the night.

Excellent location in the Gap. Close to a convenience store and lovely restaurants for either a quick bite or more relaxed dining. Room was clean and neat. Not luxury but more than adequate for a place to stay if you are on the go daily. Comfortable bed too! Pool lovely and well maintained. Staff very friendly and warm. I would return!

Wonderful place that you won't regret staying at. Only small issues would be sometimes there no hot/warm water to shower and it's a bit loud in the hallway as people come and go in the mornings and at night, but otherwise well worth the money and super clean!

Close to Sandals
We stayed here 1 night before going to a Sandals resort. Location to sandals was a 4 minute walk. It was a $27 US taxi ride from the airport. The main entrance looks like it is an alley. Glad the taxi driver took us. This is a very basic economy hotel. It was clean and comfortable, and we assume safe.

Nothing is unique about the proprty . Had the worst experience in melbourne inn. Have stayed in other hotels in barbados but had the worst experience in melbourne inn. They tried charging extra 40 usd in the beginning of the stay . Also trued keeping $150 bbd security money at time of checkout saying there was a stain on the sheet . When we went and checked in there was a little dot on sheet which went away just with water . There were cockroaches inside the room walking all over the dishes . When we complained they didnt bother and said why we didnt complain at the time of seeing it . Dont stay in melbourne inn. Worst experience ever !
