Zagame's House

Location is amazing, perfect to explore main areas of Melbourne. This was our first time in the city and we were under the impression that this hotel could not have been a better choice . Nice architecture and decoration, and bed was really comfortable. Room was very clean and had everything we need it.

the only thing that could have been better is the shower - water pressure was low (but it did not affect our stay!)

This hotel is almost perfect, almost. The reception staff are amazing, friendly, helpful and professional. The room is very well appointed and the design of the room is great. Almost everything you could need is in the room for you; everything from a shoe horn to hair straighteners. The television has an up to date number of movies ready to stream and the Chromecast facility built in allows you to watch anything on streaming services from your own devices. The bed is incredibly comfortable, and with the black out blinds, sleep is brilliant. The breakfast is delicious and the coffee is some of the best I had in Melbourne, thank you Haven!

There are very few problems with this hotel. One was that the hotel bar, Mr Lygon was not open at all during my stay. I was looking forward to a night cap there so that was disappointing. The room service food was just ok, and given that, was overpriced. There were no cocktails available in the mini-bar, which were previously available, and still mentioned in the hotel info. There was no toilet brush, and lastly the wall to the bathroom is frosted glass and instead of the shower being the other side it's the toilet, so be prepared to watch toilet activity rather than shower activity if you're sharing the room.

- location was great for CBD and neighboring areas like Fitzroy and Carlton Gardens and is on famous Lygon St, filled with restaurants and cafes. - the room was comfortable and clean and had gorgeous toiletries and extras, like clothing steamer abs hair straighteners - the staff were incredible! From check in, to waiting staff at breakfast, to the cleaners. I was given a travel card for the trams upon check in, which I returned for another traveller when I checked out - this was such a lovely touch. As the Grand Prix was on (which I was going to), each day the room cleaners left a little chocolate with a different quote such as a Freddo Frog bar and the quote “have an unFROGgettable time at the Grand Prix” - this was such a lovely touch and made you feel so at home. I only wish I lived closer to Australia so I could stay again! If I ever make my way to Melbourne again, I’ll definitely rebook this hotel.

There’s nothing I can fault about this property

Zagame’s House is an absolutely wonderful place to call your home away from home while in Melbourne. You will be near the countless restaurants along Lygon Street while being just a few minutes away from all key landmarks in the city. The facility has a sleek and modern finish which is kept immaculately clean and organized. The amenities are also wonderful and its in-house products are top quality. It also has a delectably sumptuous and diverse breakfast menu with large portion sizes. Its amazing staff are professional, respectful and friendly, most especially the amazing Mohi who was able to make necessary arrangements to address my emerging travel concerns (early check-in, early breakfast, etc.). Definitely, highly recommended.

Great location in CBD. Foodie street with lots of choices. Staff was excellent. They even provided free laundrette and dryer with washing detergent. Cleaning staff did a great job every morning. The bath shower soaps and shampoos were very good and in ample amounts.

The breakfast was a good and healthy a la carte but ran out of choices in 5 days. Wish they had a buffet so we can have more choices. The room separation was see through, and I am pretty sure even lovers would like some poop privacy.

Excellent boutique accommodation. Slightly frosty reception on arrival with front desk woman, but all other staff were great. Special mention to Bronwyn the manager who treated us to a free breakfast when our room wasn't serviced one day. Staff did their very best (under what we now discovered were tragic circumstances). Zagame's House is only a short cab to Fitzroy etc and a nice walk to city/laneways. Nice and close for walks to Observatory and gardens too. Would stay again.

It's been many years since I was last in Lygon Street and we were disappointed with the lack of food places around. Found one decent Italian restaurant, but thought there would be many.

I can’t recommend Zagames house enough. The staff are very down to earth and friendly, yet very professional. The ambiance of the place is quaint but also really upmarket. It’s in the perfect location, walking distance to the city, Queen vic market, Melbourne museum, Lygon street food strip is right at your door…. You really can’t ask for more. But then there is more. Off street parking that was very accessible. Have booked my third visit upcoming since finding this gem of a place in January 2024.

There isn’t much not to like. It’s great. It’s a bit of a walk to certain rooms but if you had any issues with mobility, I guarantee they’d put you in a room closest to the elevator.

Lovely staff, so friendly and efficient. Super comfortable bed, great location, great housekeeping. Really nice space for breakfast. Room had everything we needed. Apparently Richard Branson stayed here while he was in town for for the launch of his cruise ship? So if that's not an endorsement i don't know what is!

It's a lovely room but bathroom set up is pretty odd. Shower space is lovely and spacious. But the toilet is positioned right next to the bedroom and separated by frosted glass rather than an actual wall so you can see their silhouette from the bedroom and hear everything... All staff were lovely but a couple of staff seemed very confused/surprised when we asked them for bar recommendations in the cbd... we ended up googling it ourselves.

I booked this hotel as my "regular" go-to hotels were all full. I was SO pleasantly surprised. The hotel is a little gem in the city! The decor is a mix of hip/modern 80s with beautiful artwork and great touches. It had a perfect courtyard space to enjoy wines and the bonus was the wine bar/restauraunt! It was fantastic and so good that I didn't have to leave the hotel during the days I was there! The beds were AMAZING. thick fluffy soft goodness. Felt like a big hug! I will DEFINITELY stay here again and would highly recommend this to my friends and colleagues

Unfortunately, I had the salmon for dinner my first night and got pretty ill. I know things like this can happen so it didn't put me off from eating at the restuaraunt again...just NO fish

This unique, slightly quirky boutique hotel exceeded expectations in delivering a bespoke product. Our lovely room, a little on the small side, but not a problem, was thoughtfully equipped and very comfortable. Especially liked the shower gel, shampoo, etc and the bathroom accessories. Lovely staff, very attentive and helpful. Breakfast was excellent, great coffee. Would like to have stayed longer!

Only criticism ... the toilet and shower area were integral with the actual room. Cleverly designed but whilst the toilet was screened off from the room, it was not completely private. This was fine for my friend and me, but you might want to think twice about this if sharing with someone you don't know that well!
