The beds and pillows were comfortable. The onsite restaurant and bar were great and staff were amazing! Very close to bars and restaurants and Crown Casino and DFO was over the road. I will definitely stay here again when I'm in Melbourne for future stays. "

"Great food, great staff, lovely front patio, convenient location. US and Spanish embassies are within seeing distance. Nice mini apt rooms. Quiet! Balconies are nice but views limited due to this area being a series of high rises with apartments, restaurants etc on floor level. St Kilds Td is a direct shot to downtown/the CBD. 7-11 is one block away, very convenient. Buy public transport cards there. I had a wonderful two week stay!!"
