The hotel was in a very convenient spot for our stay. The room facilities were very basic and would only be comfortable for a short stay. The bathroom wasn’t very clean and the hallway is very noisy. The cafe down stairs was convenient for a good coffee on our way out
The St Kilda Beach hotel is our favourite hotel in Melbourne. A great getaway near the beach. The staff and service are excellent and our room was spacious and comfortable. Thanks for another great stay!
Lovely hotel, reception friendly and let me store my luggage as I was early to check in, a short walk to beach. Nice cafe in hotel open to 11am. Lots of shops, cafes and restaurants also around.
I couldn’t get the spa bath to work is the only small thing but didn’t impact my stay.
We thought we would pay extra for an executive suite, it was dirty, small and extremely poor quality. Would not stay here again. Bathroom was filthy, old and spa unusable. If this was their executive suite I would hate to see a basic room.
From the start the staff were very helpful, room was spacious and comfy, great location did not need our car for our whole stay. A walk into St Kilda Beach, and tram stop outside to run anywhere else you wanted to go.

This hotel is good value. I liked that it is right on the tram line.
I had booked a stay at your hotel in advance for a week without understanding before I approached the property that I had formerly been banned from the listing of the hotel chain. Nobody informed me about this in advance of me making the booking itself, and furthermore, I was told that I had to apply for a refund through the website where I made the booking instead of at the desk itself, delaying my return of the money owed me. Please could you assist me ASAP with this disservice.
Property is dated. There were cracked and broken tiles in the bathroom and shower recess. The room had an old cigarette smell and the heater didn’t work. For the price paid $260 it was pretty awful. I chose to leave and not stay. The manager offered me a different room but I just wanted out.

We wanted a cheap room close to where we needed to go and that’s exactly what we got. Bathroom had no cold water at all and slightly unclean but nothing major. Bed fairly comfy.
Great location and staff were friendly
Nicely renovated boutique style hotel great location for dining options and beach front. Very clean and modern presentation Excellent breakfast dining option and very nicely presented. Great value as well
Great place to stay in the heart of St Kilda - cafes , shopping and the beach = perfect!
The hotel is quaint and easy to be in - comfortable and clean.
The room was not properly cleaned, the lifts were old and slow, no outdoor area supplied for smokers required to stand out the front of hotel with unsavory types walking the street at 6am in the morning.
