The room was stylish and generous - and very clean! The staff were welcoming and always helpful during our stay. And the location of the hotel was perfect, just off the shops and cafes of Toorak Rd. The only thing we missed at The Lyall was a gym. ##### Elizabeth Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tim 4 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Fantastic service.

We will be back! ##### Katie Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter 12 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Experience Melbourne neighbourhood. Staff excellent. John helped us organize a day trip to the peninsula which was delightful. Great experience overall. ##### Peter Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cecylia 12 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Our executive suite was spacious, luxurious and an absolute delight to enjoy. We loved the bathtub, the bed and the balcony. We felt like Parisians being able to walk everywhere - from exercising around the Botanical Gardens to fine dining down Toorak Road and splurging on Chapel St. We loved our stay at the Lyall. It was the best wedding anniversary we experienced- and we’ve had 17 so far! ##### Cecylia Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tram 17 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful hotel and staff We had an amazing stay at the Lyall, it started with the early checkin as our flight landed early and the room was ready and waiting. Ester at reception was the most friendly and accommodating and made us feel so welcome and as we stayed here to celebrate my birthday she went above and beyond to make it so memorable , from the beautiful room to a surprise birthday cake. It was our first time at the Lyall, it is a beautiful, elegant and luxurious hotel with impeccable service - thank you for making our stay so memorable, we will be back for sure! ##### Tram Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tina 13 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A fabulous place to base oneself in Melbourne. The rooms are well appointed and quiet. I understand dining options will increase shortly. It is a shame the bar closes so early (8pm), which means hotel residents can't enjoy a post dinner drink before going to bed. The proximity to the Tan is great, and the leafy streets around the hotel are lovely. Sadly, Toorak Road and Chapel Street have changed a bit, but other areas are within easy taxi distance, or a lovely walk. We would stay again. Thank you Lyall Team. ##### Tina Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ian 21 May 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities You have a serious problem in that the door into the building every time its opened lets the cold south Westerlies blow on the first 3 or4 and more nearest tables. and the fireplace warms the staff but not the customers who sit at the northern end of the sitting room Sadly the bedroom design has lost the ability to sit comfortably even with a guest for two to read and or use a a desk .The light from the verandah is now wasted. One bath maybe used once a fortnight is just a waste of space. Bed extremely comfortable single lights everwhere look nice but are fairly useless ##### Ian Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David 7 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great stay at this great hotel ##### David Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Catherine 26 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Staff are wonderful Our third stay and we were again made to feel so welcome ##### Catherine Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melissa 21 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Perfect stay. ##### Melissa Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Durmit 24 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Close to cafes,,restaurants and shops ##### Durmit Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Graeme 24 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The Lyall is truly an exceptional hotel very discreet but luxurious and right in the heart of South Yarra. ##### Graeme Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carrie 13 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Loved this boutique hotel in a great neighborhood and close to everywhere, highly recommend ##### Carrie Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Danni 21 Sept 2025 Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Gorgeous, every little detail covered.
