Geez, where does one start. One month after our trip, 4 friends and myself who stayed at the Prince are struggling to work out how the Prince is a "boutique hotel", and how it is worthy of $250/night. Do 3 apples on a ledge in reception qualify an Australian hotel to be "boutique" ?! There was nothing special about the... more

What can I say, the rooms were amazing, service excellent took my girlfriend away for a weekend way and couldnt fault the place, the price was good, booked on Wotif and got a good special, however since then have seen even better prices so shop around. Features and facilities within the rooms are cutting edge, and the restaurant is definately... more

I have stayed at THE PRINCE around 5 times prior to my last visit. My partner and I have always been very happy. We usually stay in one of the PREMIUM SUITES, which are great for 2 people and we've always received incredible service. We stayed for 2 nights in MARCH 2009 in a Deluxe Room, during Fashion Week.

OK, you are in a boutique hotel at the busiest end of Fitzroy St, where it meets Acland St, in St Kilda. St Kilda is a major dining/drinking precinct south of Melbourne, by the beach.

What an amazing hotel. Arriving past midnight and very tired I was elated to arrive at such an eye pleasing hotel. On exiting the lift I immediately felt at ease walking down the calming corridor. Entering my room I was blown away by the design. The room was spotless and inviting, the bathroom was the best I have seen in... more

There's no denying that the Prince does front a busy street and that there's a pub below some of the rooms, but the noise is not a problem with the windows closed. The upsides are plenty:- a beautifully designed hotel, close to great eateries, entertainment and shopping and with the sea sparkling at the end of the road. Too good... more

i had an all too brief stay at the prince in early march, the staff were very friendly and attentive.... and my room was beautiful! clean and fresh with heaps of natural light. a little noisy on a friday night but i sort of expected that with staying on fitzroy st. more

We love Melbourne and have had many great holidays there. We had been to the restaurant at The Prince and loved it, so thought we'd try the hotel. Big mistake. Essentially this hotel looks good and should be amazing but lets itself down on the essentials - we didn't get any sleep! This place is right over the main street... more

we booked this hotel, despite reviews about noise, and my inability to sleep through noise. we had stayed at clift SF, despite bad reviews and LOVED it. the night we got off the plane, arrived at the Prince, the area was crawling with drunk partyers, fine, but oh...my...god, the thumping noise of music and the lift opening and closing until... more
