Kinson Hotel is lovely, however be aware of Nationwide car parking that the hotel offers. It's not run by Kinson, however Nationwide double chared us and makes it extremely hard to get a refund. Not ideal customer service.

Nice clean property. Lots of food options nearby and the tram is just a couple of minutes walk away linking you to the city. Parking is connected and you can take the elevator up to your room. Staff is helpful. The 10am check out is a bit early compared to typical times but overall a good place to stay in Melbourne.

The room was large and well maintained, but the occupants next door were rowdy, constantly arguing, shouting, crying and fighting among themselves, and played loud music all night long. In frustration, my wife went down to complain to the front desk staff. They came up to the floor, stood outside and knocked on the door but didn't get any response. They said they couldn't enter the room, and left after 10 minutes, leaving the messy situation unresolved. Frustrated and unsatisfied guest... Sonthe Nguyen

The Junior Suite was smaller than the Deluxe Studio in terms of practical space and the bathroom was much better in the Deluxe Studio. We stayed in both as our flight was cancelled and the staff were very accommodating in finding a room for us instantly at a great price. The staff throughout the staff were great especially Arsalan who usually worked the night shift. Location is close to the CBD via any means of transport. The small room for improvement areas would be the air con in the rooms isn’t strong enough and takes way too long to be at a comfortable temperature and the pillows aren’t great. Overall we enjoyed staying at The Kinson and would recommend.
