Brooklyn Arts Hotel is EXACTLY as described on its website, so if that is what you're looking for, that is what you will indeed get. It's relaxed, comfortable, interesting and beautiful. The back garden is a joy. The big dining room table welcomes you at any time of day for a tea, a coffee, a piece of fruit or a... More

my wife and i stayed in the green room for four nights, its a great palce to stay, well situated as its easy to travel into town and there are lots of eating palces nearby. the communial breakfasts where best when Maggie was present

What a find - friends of mine recommended the place and, when it was full, the charming owner Maggie re-arranged her study (the Hotel is a reconverted old mansion) into a single bed hotel room for me. I was even upgraded to a queen room the first night of my visit following a cancellation. The bathrooms - including the share... More

I'd have to agree with other reviewers on this site, the Brooklyn Arts is a gorgeous place to stay but it is let down by some basic maintenance issues. We are 'arty' types and we love anything with character and eclectic taste, however this place is in serious need of some TLC. There's just no excuse for having 4cm gaps... More

Brooklyn Arts Hotel is brilliantly situated in funky Fitzroy with an amazing array of great restaurants, local designer boutiques and fascinating curiosities on the doorstep. I have now stayed there three times and hope to stay there many more! Having stayed in both the Blue and Green Rooms, I was delighted with the unusual eclectic mix of furniture, the bookcases...

I'm a childrens's book author and illustrator who visits Gorgeous Town (Melbourne) once a year for a week of school visits and book tours. I couldn't imagine finding a more comfortable and arty nest than The Brooklyn Arts. I usually stay in one of the very quiet back rooms which open onto the rear gardens ~ perfect after a day... More

The location was great, the area is full of cafes and is a short stroll into the heart of Melbourne. But my husband and I were very disappointed with the Brooklyn Arts Hotel itself. We were not expecting a sterile, standard hotel experience, but we did expect to find a hotel that was at least clean and showed some level... More

brooklyn arts was the perfect place to stay in melbourne. it's in the fitzroy neighborhood, right around the corner from several trams, and lots of restaurants and bars. the accommodations are comfortable, and funky in just the right way. it feels like staying at a friends house, and the conversations over breakfast in the morning were always interesting. i will...

This place may be "different", "alternative" "arty" even but if you want a comfortable bed, then forget it. The owner sources her furnishings and bedding from Salvos stores. If you don't believe it, check the spare stained and soiled spare mattresses stored with her dogs out the back. The ethos of the place is to get to know you so... More
