You would get the romantic impression when you arrive in this hotel beautiful classic architecture building, and also nice design of the garden made it more romantic and perfect for couples. Clean and very well maintained property.
Inside the hotel, they have enough reception area, not so big, but lovely and friendly staff. With nice room across from the reception desk for playing pool (the pool table was so huge, so its a bit small space left to play). But they don't have nice gym tho.

The deluxe room was nice, spacious and very clean. And wow, the bathroom was super clean and so nice. Smells new. And the bed was very comfy. My boyfriend even wanted to call them up to ask what brand is.

Stayed for 3 nights, and overall was a good value. Recommended for couples.

We stayed here during the Australian Open and was a short taxi ride to see all the tennis action. It was very peaceful and tranquil after being in all the crowds and the restaurant was very nice, quite intimate and they made you feel very special whilst dining there. Would definitely recommend to the people who enjoy non commercial Hotels and the building itself is quite beautiful.

The good: great service, St Kilda is a good location for my needs (Albert Park for a morning walk, Belgian Beer Cafe, easy parking, a reading room and full size snooker table) - and I love a hotel with character.
The Bad: I'm sorry, I'm starting to get annoyed with hotels offering free wi-fi that is either very, very slow, or does not work at all. Worse, hotels that cap Wi-fi and charge if you exceed the allocation. In this case 100 MBS. What is that? 5 minutes checking email? Whatever, it costs me $10 if I go slightly over it.
Also, my iron only had a cord that was slightly more than a metre long. It sounds like a pedantic whinge until you have to iron a shirt in the morning before checking out. A simple 3 minute process becomes very frustrating!

Beautiful old school hotel with lovely staff, great ambience and charm. It may be more a hotel for business types but my partner and I loved it. There are two tram stops within 200m of the hotel and it is walking distance into the CBD and it is a lovely walk.

The only fault we could find was the tiny amount of leg room between the toilet and the wall. My partner is 6'3 and had to sit sideways on the toilet to use it and I am 5'8 and my knees were almost touching the wall.

I found the hotel through a last minute website and was very happy with the price. All in all it helped with a lovely weekend.
