Friendly and helpful. Great location near beach and Luna park. We did not get our room cleaned during our stay, we hoped to get new towels. The cafe in the hotel was nice for breakfast.

We had an amazon stay at the place. Everyone at the reception was incredible. It is about five minutes away from the beach. It is also well connected with trams.

Was only here for two days as a stop gap before heading into Melbourne.
Pleasant staff and good location within St Kilda. It had everything you might need, however it could do with a freshen up in a lot of areas and the cleanliness was average

The property is tired but the location is unbeatable. Walking distance to everything in St Kilda and trams into city at front door. Our room was quiet. Bathroom was the letdown as the shower was old and dirty. Staff service was a stand out. Everyone was friendly and helpful.
