Great location
Guests enjoy this hotel's location. This is a St. Kilda-located hotel, and guests note that it is central to many of the offerings of the town, including Acland Street, Luna Park, and the botanical gardens.

Great room size
The room sizes at this hotel get a big “thumbs up” from guests. They report that the rooms are spacious, and offer en suite bathrooms with baths and walk-in showers. It seems you will not feel cramped while staying here.

Free breakfast
Guests indicate that there's no substitute for starting the day off right, and thus they enjoy the availability of a complimentary breakfast at this hotel. While they haven't raved about the quality of the breakfast one way or the other, they've made it clear that they appreciate the cost savings this amenity provides.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Loud music
Prepare to be disturbed. Guests complain that there is a nightclub on top of the hotel that plays very loud music on many nights, and that this noise goes on well into the latter parts of the night. They note feeling “sandwiched” between the ground floor pub, basement nightclub, and rooftop nightclub, and note that it's an unpleasant experience.
negative:
Mixed cleanliness reviews
Some guests consider this location to be properly clean and devoid of dirt, while many others report noticing dust and grime within the bathroom areas. There are also more isolated reports of cockroaches. It seems cleanliness at this location is decidedly hit-or-miss.
negative:
No balcony access
Guests are disappointed by the lack of access to the balconies at this hotel.
