Stayed there one night. The room was simple but sufficient to meet all your needs. A/C being the most important. It was quaint and satisfying. The room was pretty clean and everything else was good for the cheap price in its location. $65 us is what we paid. At night they locked the front gate and had a security guard.... More

I'm giving the Melbourne Inn a five-star rating because it is a great place to stay if you're looking for something in the budget range. I wouldn't give it five stars if I were stacking it against some of the other hotels in Port of Spain, however, I found it to be one of the better budget places I've ever... More

When I first arrived at Melbourne Inn, I wanted to check out and relocate to another hotel. I was given a room that would not really lock and felt like I was living in whack accommodations - however, this was only because I arrived at 1:00 am or so and I was provided the only room the late night security...

HOW I found this hotel :- I am a world traveler and am always staying in hotels in my travels. For this particular visit, I was staying overnite in Trindad before catching a onward flight to my main destination. This meant a stay of about 12-13 hours. I clearly did not want to spend too much money for 12-13 hours.... More

If you are on a budget, this is the perfect Guest House for you. Clean, comfortable and smells very fresh - even the washrooms. You meet Cornel, a very businesslike person - but very informative and helpful. Bunny on the night shift - will ensure you have all the connections you need for a barber, a taxi, nite life, food...

The Melbourne [--] is only ½ block from Ariapita Street, has a more welcoming feel than nearby La Calypso, with an open, visible reception area, a gate but no massive locks, lots of tourist info, breakfast served for a 25TT charge, about $4, and seems friendly. Prices are comparable, maybe $5 higher, about $55 single with AC and bath. It... More

In a city where “real” hotel prices are outrageous, the Melbourne Inn offers a cheaper, no frills, alternative. I stayed for six nights at $55/night. Not a place for a vacation. For my money I got a reasonably clean small room with a double bed & private bathroom (shower). The room also had a/c which was good and a very... More

The Melbourne Inn is a good place to stay. It is in the Woodbrook area which has plenty of nightlife,restaurants and is only a short taxi ride to down town Port of Spain. The staff was very helpful and accommodating. The rooms were simple, clean and comfortable. I will stay there again.
