Saint Kilda Beach Hotel

Room was disappointing for the price. Very noisy air con, power point next to one bed not working so couldn’t charge phone there and the bedside lamp did not work. Tried to get a cold drink from the taps but the cold water remained warm. Lifts were slow and tiny(to be fair, there were signs pointing out their lack of speed) four people was very cramped. Woken at 8 am by a fire alarm, evacuated to the street. Staff apologised but did not look concerned, just bored. Lovely breakfast in the attached cafe - would highly recommend the French toast- but one member of our part had to eat after the rest had finished as they forgot her order. With only two people working the counter - one of them making coffee after coffee -this was not surprising . Car parking at $35 per night was convenient but a bit pricey.

St Kilda beach hotel Lift 1 was extremely slow, Lift 2 broke down ! You weren’t allowed to walk to 4th floor as it was a fire escape and not a staircase!!!! and it meant the guy leaving the front desk to unlock floor 4 🤯 The bed was extremely comfortable All Clean and tidy. Definitely not the best area in winter, Front doors locked between 7pm & 7am room key needed to get in. The trams are great and almost outside, No USB point so take a plug charger.

“Needs some love”

This is an EVT Hotel, which I generally like (one of my favourites, and the gold standard as far as I'm concerned, for reasonably priced hotels is their HotelMotel in Adelaide and is a testament to what a massive difference a thorough renovation can make for an older hotel) and their PGR rewards pr… lisää

This is an EVT Hotel, which I generally like (one of my favourites, and the gold standard as far as I'm concerned, for reasonably priced hotels is their HotelMotel in Adelaide and is a testament to what a massive difference a thorough renovation can make for an older hotel) and their PGR rewards program, but this one desperately needs some love. The service was friendly from everyone (I liked the two free coffee vouchers at check-in, however I didn't get a chance to use them as I was only there for one night and breakfast came with a drink anyway), the reception area and cafe are nice, but the room I stayed in was very bland and, again, needing some love. It was fairly sparsely furnished, with a bed, two bedside tables, a desk with chair, a wardrobe with a fridge in it, a luggage stand and the TV. No view from this room as the windows were frosted, however the windows do face outside and aren't internally facing. The bed was fine, not as nice as the ones at the previously mentioned HotelMotel but I slept perfectly fine. However, the runner at the foot of the bed was stained and had long black hair on it which was not a good impression. The bathroom was OK, and functioned as expected - the toiletries were nice and didn't dry out my skin (liquid hand soap was provided, thank you!) Parking is accessible via the rear, but it is very tight and subject to availability and is $35 a night which is roughly on par with most Melbourne hotels. Currently they are only servicing the rooms from day three of your stay unless requested and subject to availability - I was only staying one night so this wasn't an issue for me. Hopefully, there are renovations planned for this hotel soon. It's got good bones and could definitely be as good, if not better, than some of the other EVT properties.
