Fantastic location, staff are so kind, clean and comfortable, the 2 bedroom top floor apartment is one of the only ones in St Kilda with a balcony and privacy - view of the city in the distance. It is quiet, can't hear street noise or the trams. Close to everything. Just needed more glasses for 4 people in the room.

Location of hotel in St Kilda was excellent. The Tolarno itself has an arty boutique feel. It looks a bit tired in places but if you can past that I would stay again. 2 mins walk to great Irish bar - Fifth Province. You need to go there.
