Very friendly and helpful staff. Excellent hotel for pets.

We upgraded to a suite and it was amazing. Super comfy bed, nice and quiet – as well as dark for sleep, something some places seem to forget are important. Great shower and bath, with a very special toilet that was more high tech than some cars.

Reception was friendly with efficient check in and out. Loved the melbourne touches throughout, like the graffiti spray can decorations and tram like lights. The mini bar is about the best one ever – the decor of the whole room is super cool.

The rooms were enormous and very comfortable, with a fantastic shower. In room breakfast was excellent, and the gym and pool area were great.

Lollo was just ok, with service that needs improving, however the cocktail bar was inventive and fun, with delicious cocktails. Will certainly stay again for our next Melbourne trip.

This will be my new go to place when I stay in Melbourne – great location on Lyndon Street. The rooms were just wonderful – so perfectly and thoughtfully designed.

Everything had been thought of – from great books to read by your bed, the marshall speaker, the very cool minibar, the super comfortable bed and pillows, the colour scheme and super cool decor, the bathroom, the wonderful mirror and lighting.

I do not have a dog but I loved that it was pet friendly and seeing a dog in the main lounge area was delightful – it felt like a home away from home.

I would describe this hotel as the QT experience without the QT price tag. Carlton location was great. Loved the room design.

Rooms were comfy. Double glazed windows meant that we weren’t bothered by street noise. I think this hotel is outstanding value. I hear it’s dog-friendly, I wish we could bring our dog to Melbourne!

The room has a coffee machine and coffee pots, as well as a mini-bar and wine rack, so you’re sorted for refreshments. You can also get food ordered to the room, if you want a cozy night in.
On BonBon’s bed, they set up a little love heart, chocolates and balloons.

There were also bowls for BonBon, and all in all the hotel was set up to be very functional for pets. We loved that there weren’t many cables lying around for a cheeky pet to chew through!

The food was good, and we ate at the hotel and in our room. If you eat at the hotel, try the chicken, it was absolutely delicious!

The restaurant and wine bar are pet-friendly, so you can take your furry friend along too.

We’d love for there to be more light in the main interior space, and it’d be nice if they had a kennel service or somewhere to leave your pet when you go out for the day.

Apart from that we loved everything about Zagame’s House, and it’s a great place to take your pet for a vacation together.

In general, a really good option to stay in Melbourne, location, good service, excellent rooms (Amenities, lighting, bed and pillows wowww).
