Theatre stay

Stayed here with a friend to go to go to a show at the nearby theatre. We booked a twin & was upgraded to a family room with 2 queen beds, which was a pleasant surprise. The room was clean. Water temperature & pressure could’ve been better but otherwise it met our expectations & served the purpose. Car parking was available & used, with access from the rear of the hotel. Close to restaurants & the theatre, 3 stops on the tram. Only one elevator was working when we were there (& it wasn’t a large one)so there was a some delay in waiting for it to arrive. Hotel staff were friendly & welcoming.

Love the St Kilda Beach Hotel

Thank you for the generous upgrade of our room. We had a wonderful stay and a most delicious breakfast in the restaurant. We find the staff at this hotel are always welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. We will be back.

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

The hotel was in a very convenient spot for our stay. The room facilities were very basic and would only be comfortable for a short stay. The bathroom wasn’t very clean and the hallway is very noisy. The cafe down stairs was convenient for a good coffee on our way out

Great hotel and location close to beach

Lovely hotel, reception friendly and let me store my luggage as I was early to check in, a short walk to beach. Nice cafe in hotel open to 11am. Lots of shops, cafes and restaurants also around. I couldn’t get the spa bath to work is the only small thing but didn’t impact my stay.
