This is a delightful place to stay in Carlton, Melbourne. The rooms are spotless and furnished beautifully. Ian the owner is friendly, helpful and provides a real home from home. I really liked the way you made your own breakfast from his larder/pantry. It's located near the buses and trams, so easy to get into the city. Food - Italian... More

As others have said this is a perfectly located central guesthouse with excellent facilities. What will strike you is the warm and relaxed welcome, and the friendly atmosphere which pervades the whole establishment. This all comes from Daisy of course, but I sensed Ian just might have a bit to do with it too :-) I stayed for four nights... More

Perfectly located a little north of the city centre and a five minute walk from dozens of restaurants, this quiet and simple place had comfortable beds, air conditioning, help-yourself breakfasts (cereal, toast, jam, yogurt, fruit, tea, coffee, cookies). It has a good assortment of local magazines and guides to the area and the proprietor offers helpful, opinionated advice on what... More

Ian and Daisy may have been in the B&B business for a long time, but neither of them seem tired of it! We had a great 5 night stay recently and highly recommend 169 Drummond St. Ian is on hand with advice, a chat, or a story to tell, and keeps his accomodation spotlessly clean, tidy and welcoming. Perfect location... More

Thank you Ian for a fantastisch stay again. We enjoyed every bit of it. The room is still as comfortable and spotless clean as our previous visit. And the area even more Italian businesses started up with lovely restaurants, bakeries, Italian delis... We hope to come back a next time and maybe stay another night more.... And we do hope... More

Ideal accommodation in a perfect location. There is a real sense of privacy and welcome, and I felt at ease as if I was in my own home as soon as I got there. Ian also provided loads of great advice about where to eat and how to get around the city. You could not ask for a better base... More

We had a one night stay at short notice and Ian was great in dealing with a few manic, last minute emails. Located on a quiet road and smelling strongly of the fresh lilies that were placed in our room and on the landing, 169 Drummond street is a beautiful B&B in a fantastic past of town. We enjoyed a...

Ian's strategic location just a stone's throw from Melbourne's infamous Lygon Street is only the beginning of this perfect B&B, also within walking distance of the Queen Victoria Market, Melbourne CBD, the Theatre District, car rental in Franklin Street and everything an educated visitor could ask for. I asked Ian for advice on transport to and from the airport and... More

Ian, the owner, is the sort of person who you feel would make a wonderful friend. He is welcoming and helpful. The house is lovely, and you come and go as you please. Very comfortable. Once we had had the opportunity of seeing most of Melbourne we were so pleased to have chosen Carlton as our location, by far the... More
