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.

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.

Slightly noisy but well placed and comfortable

Friendly and inviting check in staff Comfy pillows and bed Plenty of restaurants, amenities and public transport in the area Walls are very thin so you can hear neighbours coming and going quite loudly as well as showers/flushes and other noise from other rooms. Had to keep the blinds closed most of the time as the windows overlook a courtyard so you can see into the hallway and other rooms
