10/10 Exceptional

Comfortable and Quiet

The hotel is about 2km South of the city, but easily reachable by the very frequent trams. Room was clean and in great condition. Quiet with very comfortable beds. Our room also had a well equipped small kitchen with everything you need, including a dishwasher. Front desk staff were friendly. Restaurant on the property offered excellent Italian food. We would definitely stay there again.

Florin, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Mid St Kilda Road comfortable accommodation.

Overnight stay near observatory- only a short walk away. Room was really comfortable and well priced (included a kitchenette too!) It is a bit 'in the middle' between city and St Kilda. There are no cafes open nearby on weekends, if you want to eat onsite, you need to 'order in' via delivery service. Easy parking, great views.

First rate accommodation

Have stayed before and was just as great this time although better because we had a walk in shower - also higher floor so even better view. Very easy to get in and out of city on nearby tram.
