Brooklyn is a perfect place to stay if you are not looking for a standard hotel. It is beautiful, friendly, quiet, interesting, quirky and personal, within walking distance of central Melbourne. The atmosphere is relaxed and congenial. There is a garden to sit in and birds to listen to.
Brooklyn is a big old house on the city edge of Fitzroy. You can walk through parks or take a tram a few minutes from the door, to city venues, stations and airport connections.

Fitzroy’s great mix of people makes this one of the most interesting parts of Melbourne to hang out in.  The galleries, bars, restaurants and specialist shops of Gertrude, Brunswick and Smith Streets, are in our neighbourhood, and Universities, hospitals and museums are nearby.

Brooklyn offers seven guest rooms. Upstairs there are two queen rooms with private balconies and bathrooms.
On the ground floor we have two queen rooms, a double, a twin and a single bedroom, with shared facilities.
Extra beds can be added if required.

Room Details:

The two Queen Ensuite rooms upstairs feature enormous bedrooms, each with high ceilings and adjacent bathrooms. Each has a light and airy private sitting room with wood-panelled ceilings, polished floors, and large opening windows looking out on to George Street and across to the city.

The two Queen rooms downstairs at the front of the building look out to a leafy verandah where you can sit and relax, and watch the locals meander by. These huge bed-sitting rooms share a bathroom off the greenhouse walkway and garden.

The spacious standard Double, Twin and Single rooms lead directly onto the greenhouse walkway and garden.
