We loved our stay. Staff were friendly and attentive. This place hasn’t changed…… although not as bright and shiny as 20 plus years ago it continues to be a timeless boutique hotel with an attention to detail that captures bespoke design.

I choose this property specifically because it was near my favorite restaurant in Melbourne, Akwaaba. The Suya platter is the best. Anyway, the property and staff was excellent and I had no complaints. Bedroom/ bathroom was fine and comfortable. The tram runs all night on weekends and that was helpful. Location is good and easily accessible.

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities
The room was smallish but reasonably comfortable. It would have been much better if the storage had been adequate. The 2-sectioned wardrobe had one usable section. The other section had the fridge and beverage items. Access to the car park was rather convoluted and involved navigating stairs. There are plenty of eating options around, and the St Kilda pier was closeby.
