I stayed here for one night, would have liked to stay for longer. Very comfortable, affordable, very helpful and kind staff. Clean cosy and interesting art, with brave use of bold colours make this a really interesting place to stay. I was impressed to find in my room a red umbrella, along with ironing board, for when the Melbourne weather... More

Stayed here a few nights at the end of February. Very well located hotel ideally situated for both St Kilda and also getting around the city. The tram stops are virtual next to the hotel, Service was excellent. The lady on the reception desk was so helpful and gave us many great tips for where to go, where to eat... More

The Tolarno is an "art hotel" in a very convenient location in St. Kilda's (the tram to the CBD and museums stops almost directly in front, cafes are a short walk away and the beach is about 5-10 minutes walk). Corridors and rooms are filled with art, and although simple, the rooms are comfortable and very clean with an electric... More

First the positives: the hotel is damn funky. Lots of artwork and cool furniture abound. The service at reception was friendly and helpful (although we didn't have any unusual demands!). Our balcony room was light and airy and spotlessly clean and I loved the pair of mid-century chairs and the gorgeous lamp (it's definitely my sort of aesthetic). The bar... More

This hotel has a great location and is located on a busy street. There are lots of eating places in walking distance. It is just a short walk to St Kilda beach. The only downside is that it doesn't have its own car park so recommend you drop off luggage first before parking. Our room was small but very clean... More

stayed here with my daughter recently and we both really enjoyed our stay, The reception staff were very friendly, the location was great and I had the best night sleep I have had at a hotel in a long time. Only a short walk to the beach and luna park. Overall very happy and will defintely go back.

Stayed here over new year 2012-2013 and was reasonably priced for the time of year. Our room had an ample sized bathroom with shower. A double bed with a kitchenette part running down the side with fridge, sink etc. Bed was made and towels changed daily. Very clean, comfortable. Lots of great art work in the rooms and corridors and... More

Attended a concert at the Palais Theatre in St Kilda so i booked a room on wotif.com for 1 night. Upon checking in I was pleasantly surprised to be upgraded to a room with kitchenette (room 302, top floor, rear of the building). Room was clean, tidy, comfortable & quiet. No complaints at all Location is great with tram stops... More

The hotel is in a great location, the rooms are clean and adequate and it has great character. HOWEVER, don't choose a balcony room. Online they sell them as a "better" room but they look directly onto the main road which is very noisy and the doors/windows offer very little respite from the street noise. After the first sleepless night... More
