I would stay here again when I come back to Barbados, but had a bit of an issue at first, they did not have a room because of maintenance concerns. So they put me in a Sister hotel that was absolutely horrible. I guess it was not MELBOURNE‘s fault But it sure did put a cramp for the week.

Janine, London

I booked this hotel for my friend who had a late night flight into Barbados and an early morning appointment. The price was reasonable and from the pictures, it appeared to be decent. The room could use an upgrade but was clean, and though the Inn is located down an alley, it’s still close to town and easily accessible. Unfortunately, the welcome received from the staff upon arrival that night left a lot to be desired. The saving grace here is that the front desk personnel who were there in the morning were very polite and helpful. Suggestion: ensure that all persons have the training to maintain the brand, day or night.
