The room was dusty, the blankets on the bed were stained, thankfully on the outside, not the inside. The spa did not work on the first night, the water pressure is non existent. I asked for the room to cleaned and the spa fixed, the person at the desk argues with me as it was a Sunday, I asked for the manager to contact me, that never happened. Thankfully the room was cleaned and spa fixed, but the doona was another doona, but still stained. I would not stay here again.

Hotel in need of Reno. Overpriced at $341 for the night but Beds were comfortable. Bathroom not up to standard for cleanliness. Only one lift operating. Tradie banging away in the other lift at 7.30am which woke us up. Location was good for our purpose and close to tram stop but would not stay here again unless there was no other option in St Kilda.

Plenty of character… just not the good kind The rooms have certainly seen better decades — threadbare carpets, dated décor, and showers that prefer to surprise you with either boiling or freezing temperatures (and very little in between). Room servicing is every three days, so you’ll have plenty of time to bond with your towels. Morning wake-up calls come courtesy of drills and machinery right outside your door, as the lift undergoes what appears to be a very long and public recovery process. Step outside and you’ll find an unfortunate (and persistent) patch of dog mess by the front entrance — a recurring guest, despite several reports to staff. There’s an overall air of neglect, with a hint of sewerage in the background for atmosphere. Our adjoining room was locked (no privacy lock option once opened), but did offer the charming discovery of someone else’s leftover lollies — a sweet reminder that we weren’t the first to wonder what goes on behind that door. In all, it’s a stay with plenty of stories to tell — just not the kind we’d come back for

Disappointing, but well priced

Quite disappointing. I have stayed here twice before and it has deteriorated significantly over three years. The cafe advertised open until 11am but was mostly closed at 10 am. The reverse cycle air con was noisy and didn’t heat well in a freezing Melbourne winter. Extra blankets were dirty.

It wasnt worth staying here because after paying $35 for parking when added to the modertae room rate i could ha e stayed in a better area. Staff were curt apart from the nigh shift manager was very accomodating. The cafe downstair closed at 11 am instead of 12 because they felt like it so i had to go looking to get a later breakfast outside. Most of the staff were foreign workers and didnt really care too much or know how to interact with guests. More a hostel vibe. First and last time for me personally. Also homesless people outside on the sidewalk
