The shower grout was mouldy The room is old and tired and needs updating There’s no lift and my wife was on crutches so was hard for her to get up and down the stairs The aluminium frames they have put inside the old windows go over the door knob to the balcony so make it awkward to open the door The out door table is all rusty The fridge in the room was noisy so you heard it when you were trying to go to sleep The ceiling has all exposed pipes It is old and dreary and is in definite need of updating with what they are charging for a night Very disappointed the pictures on the website aren’t what you actually get

Location of hotel in St Kilda was excellent. The Tolarno itself has an arty boutique feel. It looks a bit tired in places but if you can past that I would stay again. 2 mins walk to great Irish bar - Fifth Province. You need to go there.

Love that the business has a history of Australian art, having connection to Mirka Mora, art gallery director and well known art collector. So good to see ongoing paintings of all sizes and contemporary styles in the rooms and hallways. Stephen at the front desk was very helpful and knowledgeable - a delightful person.
