Top St. Kilda East Hotel Reviews

The Victoria Hotel Melbourne

8/10 Good

"Good room at a great location for a good price with a useful bar fridge. Needed some minor maintenance though - eg. the bed had a slump in it and needed turning around, the shower head leaked at the wall, squirting water into your face. And why do hotels put the shampoo etc dispensers behind the shower where it’s hard to reach, when there’s plenty of room at the other end? One of life’s little mysteries."

Grand Hyatt Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"I usually stay elsewhere but their price was 3 times as high for the period I needed so I decided to try something new. I was presently surprised. A beautifully appointed hotel, starting to age a little in places, but is well maintained and very clean. Staff were lovely and location is fantastic. I think I've found my new regular stay."

10/10 Excellent

"We LOVED our stay here! Mother daughter in town for the marathon. Lots of room, comfy beds, lots of space and enjoyed the best selection of room service from the restaurant at a decent price. Lunch in the restaurant equally good in a brilliant location. Staff were amazing and late checkout was no problem. I always love on site parking, no complaints from us we’ll definitely stay again, thank you!"
