    Pros +

    • The room we stayed in was beautiful and very, very clean. The staff were all highly professional and very welcoming. There was a little problem with the booking (not the hotels fault) and the General manager went out of his way to fix the problem.
    • The entire Staff are fantastic
    • Clean, comfortable and quiet!

    Cons -

    • It can be tricky at busy times to access room service as they have a dedicated restaurant downstairs
    • Walls are quite thin, the people in the next room arrived back at 1.30am and had a shower which sounded like it was in the bed with me
    • Why force guests to have breakfast in front bar where construction work made the noise intolerable. How inconsiderate! Especially when there used to be a nice courtyard available.

    The room was reasonable, but maintenance is lacking. The electronic light switches which I personally dislike were not working properly. The shower taps worked but have soft washers so when you get the right water temperature, you have to keep making small adjustments as the washers reduce the respective hot or cold flow. Why not switch to ceramic taps? The shower glass door did not close. The towels are packed too tightly on the ladder so they all come off when you try and retrieve a towel. Little irritants!

    Why force guests to have breakfast in front bar where construction work made the noise intolerable. How inconsiderate! Especially when there used to be a nice courtyard available.

    Location, easy to check in, nice and close to beach double balcony

    Nothing really just the price of the bottle of MOEY

    5MargaretPosted on: 2-17-2026

    Staff - bar staff were a standout.Soap, shampoo and Conditioner Location (except for boy racers)Delicious breakfast Soft robes

    Very small rooms that are in need of deep cleaning and updating. The bathroom vent was black. Material chair stained. Linen more often than not was stained.Bathroom walls with black marks. Room corners clogged with dirt etc

    Really spacious room. Beautiful big comfy bed. Great location for exploring St Kilda. Staff were super friendly and accommodating.

    Zero complaint

    8GabriellePosted on: 2-15-2026

    Amazing location, loved the view from the balcony, appreciated the late checkout and room service, very pricey though. Breakfast included but they charged us for ‘extras’.

    It is incredibly noisy, but to be expected given it’s in the heart of St Kilda, noise didn’t settle til Sunday 4am…

    8TimPosted on: 2-13-2026

    Location superb Room lovely

    The shower room door didn't prevent water from entering the rest of the bathroom some features seemed a little 'tired' but had quaint charm!

    9JosiePosted on: 2-10-2026

    Great location, easy to navigate places near by. Lovely and helpful staff as well as great facilities.

    Only one minor negative which can’t be controlled by the property was very loud construction noise nearby which started early in the morning. Would be dependant on when you stayed but the property provided earplugs as well which was helpful!

    Clean spacious neatEasy check in / out process

    Shelving on the mirror made the mirror hard to use when there were 2 people needing the mirror at the same time

    10BernadettePosted on: 1-27-2026

    Staff are very helpful, friendly & accomodating.Breakfast & dinner always very good.Location is perfect.

    8MargaretPosted on: 1-27-2026

    Reception was very friendly and helpful.Room was nice and a great size.Wonderful location. You can walk to the beach within a few minutes. Tram stop a couple of minutes away.Lots of cafes and restaurants nearby.

    The only suggestion I would make about the room, it could have had a couch in it as it was big enough. There was no place to sit other than on the bed. One chair at a small dining table.

    The room was promoted as a room with bath but you couldn’t fill it with the water pressure
