The hotel is in a very convenient location and many of the rooms have great views of the bay, even more of the rooms have balconies. Unless there is an event happening it is very reasonably priced. But the rooms are starting to get tired and a revamp is needed. It is in the process of changing its name to The Minton, so this may herald a facelift.

I had booked a room with 2 single beds as my niece was also coming for the weekend stay. On entering the room this was NOT the case so I immediately returned to reception. He rang housekeeping and arranged the bed configuration change. He also said they ? did not get all the details from Hotels and perhaps I should have booked direct.My niece and I arrived back late from 2 separate events and there was NO change to the king bed. When 2 people (who are not a couple) sleep in the one bed they tend to spread out more to the edges so the king doona/ sheets on the king bed were not adequate cover when either one of us turned over . Also the room wording as advertised said "accessible balcony" ... so I thought it had a balcony you could ?access ,which I thought strange..... not an accessible room (suitable for the disabled) so I wonder if I could have just moved rooms to one with twin beds (not in an accessible room.) If I had realised what I was going to get I would have booked another hotel OR maybe a room with 2 double beds. I will, in future ,ring up the booked hotel about 5 days before arrival to check room details so I can CANCEL & BE REFUNDED if not suitable.

This is just another plain average hotel. At check in there was no hello or any greeting at all. Photo id and credit card was all he said. No other customers so I'm not sure what the rush was. Room was average. Mould in shower, rips in carpet and cracks in hand basin. Really nice balcony though. If you had a drinking partner that is a great little spot. Twenty uber eats bikes out front makes the place look even tackier.

The passageways were incredibly dark. Parking is awkward with so many tradesmen taking up parking space. Room was perfect for our short stay

Room lights were too dim, bath tub was slightly blocked and fridge was not cold at all.

A comfortable stay. close to the city or st kilda.

Overall, the hotel is well-maintained and very comfortable to stay in. It's a fair location, close to the city of St Kilda. Also, you're able to walk to South Melbourne if your're energenic.

Free upgrade. Great service. Awesome restaurant

As expected and good value really.

Great hotel. Well located, comfortable & very well appointed rooms
