I couldn't have asked for a better stay! The rooms were good, although the pillows could use some improvements. Basic amenities were provided, and the sweeping views from level 3 were simply spectacular. The service made sure that we were happy and felt at home with exceptional welcoming service. The location was just perfect, within walking distance of Luna Park and close to a plethora of restaurants. The dining experience was inclusive, with a full offering although the quality was mediocre at best.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is fantastic, right across from St Kilda beach and within easy reach of all the great restaurants in the area. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home. However, the dining experience left a bit to be desired as the coffee wasn't great. The facilities were top-notch, and the value for money was excellent.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were lovely with a terrible view at the back, but the huge bedroom was absolutely perfect. The service had its ups and downs, with extra charges on my Visa card and some exceptional customer-focused staff. The location was super convenient, close to Luna Park and within walking distance of great eateries, but not as close to the city center as I would have liked. The dining experience had its flaws with mediocre quality food, although local sweets were a nice touch.

The hotel has wonderful views and great facilities, with the rooms offering comfortable stays but some with an awful view of the carpark. The service was exceptional in ensuring guest satisfaction, although there was an unexpected additional charge on the visa. The location is perfectly placed near the beach and within walking distance of Luna Park. The dining experience, while served with a view, was a bit disappointing but included in the rate. Overall, a clean and comfortable stay with friendly service and a few hiccups along the way.

The hotel offers rooms with limited storage but a large comfortable bed, in a spa bath with nice views, including a great birthday surprise. The service can be questionable as they charged extra on my card and were not entirely truthful, but the night shift staff have shown great hospitality and a focus on customer service. The location is superb, right across from the Beach and convenient for exploring all that St Kilda has to offer. The dining experience, included in the rate, was average at best, but the succulent organic chicken was a standout. The facilities are decent overall.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel. The location is top-notch, just across from the Beach and within walking distance of Luna Park. The rooms are spacious and modern, with an open basin layout that I found really convenient, though having the wash basin outside the bathroom might not suit everyone. The service was exceptional, with the staff going above and beyond to ensure I was happy, despite a little hiccup with an extra charge on my visa initially. Dining was a hit and miss, with a full offering included in the rate, but I must admit the coffee was not up to scratch. The facilities, overall, were fantastic, adding to the value for money I felt I was getting.

The hotel offers a king-size bed with many amenities, albeit some areas show signs of wear. The location is excellent, right across from the beach and within easy reach of St Kilda's attractions. The service, though customer-focused, had issues with extra charges and misinformation. The dining experience was a mixed bag, with a full offering but lacking in quality. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.

The hotel offers sensational full breakfast daily with fantastic views of the car park but unfortunately, the free but very dirty windows at the back took away from the overall enjoyment. The friendly service from the management down was a highlight, although the extra $293 charge on the visa and ongoing dishonesty was disappointing. The location is perfectly placed on the Esplanade above the beach foreshore, providing a relaxed setting close to all that St Kilda has to offer.
