Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is located very conveniently, close to all major shopping areas in Melbourne CBD, offering a unique experience with proximity to various local attractions. The rooms are homely, comfortable, always clean, and well-stocked, but they tend to become very stuffy. The staff are both friendly and very helpful, making the service experience pleasant. The dining options, despite limited breakfast choices, are generally superb. The hotel provides facilities that cater well to guests' needs.
I found the hotel to be a lovely place with some pros and cons. The rooms, while dated, were very clean with a super-comfy bed and a renovated bathroom. However, the policy over long weekends affected the atmosphere in the open-air courtyard. The service was lacking in basic customer service aspects, but the location was great for my activities in St Kilda. The dining experience was a mix of self-serve buffet breakfast with both cold and hot choices, which was a bit disappointing. The facilities were sufficient but lacked a barbeque area.
The hotel is a bit dated but very clean with a super-comfy bed and renovated bathroom, making showering an unpleasant experience. The staff is very helpful and accommodating, offering secure overnight storage for e-bikes. However, the location is untidy and further from town than expected, making it challenging to walk around. The dining options leave much to be desired with a poor selection and no value for money.
