The air conditioner in our room had a mind of it's own, somewhat noisy at times and then a full on fan. We didn't do breakfast there but did have a drink at the bar which had a lovely atmosphere. The location was great, surrounded by lots of restaurants, easy to walk to everywhere.

Bed slightly uncomfortable due new mattress - booked a kind room but had two single beds pushed together.
Location was great and the staff were pleasant.
Great place to stay in the heart of St Kilda - cafes , shopping and the beach = perfect!
The hotel is quaint and easy to be in - comfortable and clean.
Comfortable bed, plenty of room
Quite run down, bathroom very dated with a terrible shower.
Brilliant location and very friendly staff.
Overall was comfortable for 2 nights but definitely would not want to be staying longer
Over the four days, I found the staff to be charming and helpful. The air con was perfect. It was clean and I felt safe. Cafe great too. Big mug of coffee. Will stay again

Room is in great location, close to the beach, has a lot of restrurants, close to supermarket and 711.
Check in time is strictly 3 pm no exceptions.
Room service needs further improvements, previous guest left over plastic waterbottle was under the bedside desk not cleaned.
Day 1 breakfast could not serve as per the menu.
Once we turned the air-conditioning on we couldn't turn it off, adjust the fan setting we had to keep turning the temp up. The tv remote was dodgy, when you changed the chanel or volume it would turn the tv off. One of the bathroom doors would close properly and the toilet needed repeated flushes every time. The staff were really nice though.
