Great location, super easy on-site parking directly under the hotel, for a very reasonable price. Staff were lovely and helpful, bed was very comfortable! Mini fridge was very small, but enough to store a couple drinks. Was the perfect location for strolling to the Espy or into the Gardens!

Great location, nice room, breakfast was good. Right near trams.
Good location close to St Kilda beach. The tram into Melbourne city was just across the road.
Staff on reception desk were very friendly and helpful. We arrived quite early and she allowed us to access our room earlier which was extremely helpful for us.
Breakfast was in the bar where you chose from a set menu. One meal and one drink.
Personally we prefer a buffet breakfast where you can help yourself but the food was delicious.

Frequent visitor to Melbourne and thought we’d try somewhere new. Expecting more from this hotel. The reviews prior seemed good but we were underwhelmed on our 3 night stay. I would describe the hotel as being refurbished from the bottom up and our room (421) was on the top floor. Room would have benefitted from a thorough cleaning including removing marks from the walls etc. Great location on the tram line to the city and St Kilda (16 and 94). Moved to another hotel on Sunday night to meet colleagues and staying in a room that is twice as big at half the cost and very clean.
The location of the hotel was amazing!! A tram stop right out the front that makes it super easy to get into the city. The facilities and room were well optioned and clean. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. The parking facilities aren’t exactly part of the hotel building, but it was easy to access and use from within the hotel.
I’ll easily stay here again for my next visit.
