Unique design, great view of the bay, but lacks facilities. Arrived at 12pm and was told “room wasn’t ready” by reception and then when I said I didn’t mind to pay for an upgrade to another room that’s ready, he then said, oh well your room is actually ready but check in is at 2pm so you have to pay $50 for early check in…. No room service, no restaurant, no gym/pool (or at least wasn’t informed when checking in). Check out is strictly at 10am, other properties typically don’t bother you until 11am but here someone knocked on my door at 10:20 to ask why I haven’t checked out…

property is good but watch out for how the staff treat you. they make false promises. i called this hotel 3 times to triple check if i could check in at 12:30. they even called me back to tell me there was a “guarantee” that i would be able to check in at 12:30. then when i got there, the rudest male staff member literally gaslit me into saying that was incorrect information. told me i had to pay for it (when this was not communicated at all on the 3 seperate occasions i called) and continued to tell me that there was never a guarantee. and told me to come back at 2 but he will “try” and call when the next available room is ready. we wait for 30 minutes and we go back to reception to double check and a different staff member tells us we can check in. mind you, we had to go check OURSELVES. they didn’t call us like they told us they will. another false promise. so just watch out. they will lie to you and try to make you out to be crazy. everything else was nice the hotel was clean and i would’ve even stayed there again except the staff were just disgraceful. don’t want to deal with that ever again to be honest. the female staff i called on the phone were exceptionally lovely but that man? ruined the experience.

We only stayed for 1 night. But it really catered for my family of 4 (with 2 small kids). Staff were great from check-in to check-out. Really appreciated they were responsive if we had any questions. Loved that there was a kitchenette with plates and cutleries, etc. bathroom was decent, beds were comfy and a great cafe around the corner called Mr Percival. Also helpful they offered to store our luggage for a few hours post check-out to explore the area before we had to catch flight in the evening. We will definitely stay again!

Our stay here for The Eras Tour was perfect! The staff were all so friendly and assisted us whenever we needed. My teenage girls felt comfortable and the room was so spacious. Mr Percival Cafe was delicious for breakfast too just around the corner. One thing I will say is confirm booking directly with hotel. The property went above and beyond for me and it all worked out ok but during a weekend where almost every hotel in Melbourne was fully booked, it could have been a different story. Also first night was direct debited when this app said pay at property.

Nice and clean hotel, great views out to the beach and city! Modern amenities, comfortable beds, staff were lovely and helpful. I woke to a small leak in my room next to a window caused by some rain but they quickly sorted it so I could move to another room. But still didn’t ruin my stay as it was a lovely hotel, very easy access to trams into the city or St Kilda beach
