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.

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

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!
