In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

5 reasons to book
  • Gardens opposite, city tram outside — The hotel sits right across from the Royal Botanic Gardens, with the Shrine of Remembrance nearby and a tram stop for Melbourne Central just outside the door.
  • Spacious apartments with kitchens — Rooms come with full kitchens or kitchenettes, washing machines and dryers in many units, plus balconies in some apartments, making longer stays easy.
  • Secure private parking — On-site private parking is available and guests repeatedly note the convenience and security of leaving their car during their stay.
  • Friendly, helpful staff — Guests consistently describe the staff as courteous, friendly and accommodating, from early parking to recovering lost items.
  • Good value for a 4-star — Several guests comment that the price felt low for the facilities and service provided, exceeding their expectations.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Facilities show wear — The facilities category scores notably lower than other ratings, and some guests might find the communal areas less polished than expected for the price point.
  • Dining is not a highlight — The dining rating is mid-range, and while breakfast is available, some may find the offerings basic compared to other 4-star properties.
  • Open to surrounding street noise — St Kilda Road is a busy thoroughfare, and although rooms are soundproofed, light sleepers near the street might notice some traffic noise.
  • Not all rooms have balconies — Only certain apartment categories include a balcony, so if a garden view is important, make sure to book the right room type.
