My husband and I stayed in a bay view suite with pleasant views of the Esplanade and Port Phillip Bay. Whilst the bathroom was in need of renovation, the room was quite adequate.
The location is great, a few minutes walk in one direction to the restaurants and cake shops (to die for) in Acland St and then more restaurants and bars in the other direction. Don't bother ordering breakfast, hit Acland St instead!
The tram stops right outside the hotel and tickets can be purchased at reception. The trip into the CBD is about 25 minutes where one can then hop on the free tram and bus service, both useful ways to orientate oneself around the city.
Additionally, there is an airport shuttle that stops at the front door at a cost of A$15 per person, and on Sundays, there is an art and craft market directly across the road.
All in all, it was a very convenient and enjoyable introduction to Melbourne.

| "Good value for money and good location. Extremely appreciated the help from the friendly staff. I booked a seaview room without checking the number of beds that they offered assuming they will have two twin beds. However, the full seaview room only have Queen sized bed. I checked in very late at night and I was shocked and stood there like a post. The lady and the duty manager did all their best to check all possibilities. Even though it was all my fault in giving the incorrect information to cause this inconvenience, the staff were so friendly and helpful to accommodate our needs. Though at the end we have a partial view of the beach, our party was very happy ! You can drive or take a walk to Acland Street for breakfast or dinner. The St. Kilda bath across the road is another alternative for the closed swimming pool. Strongly recommended." |

| "This hotel has an excellent location, and the letter from the Manager that we found in our room on check-in indicated that the rooms are being refurbished. This is excellent news, as the location is only let down by the very small size of the room and the outdated decor. The hotel staff were lovely and very helpful. The tram access was great and there was a constant supply of taxis." |
