Clean and fresh smelling rooms but staff are not that great. Was greeted with a funny attitude when I went down to the lobby to ask for a simple pen. The staff act like I am doing them a favour by staying at their hotel! However will continue to stay at The Kinson because rooms are beautiful and well priced.

I love everything during my stay at The Kinson, staff are friendly and helpful, the room was a surprise, it has a great view of St Kilda Rd, and I can see part of Albert Park and Philip Bay, which I didn’t expect. The room is clean and well maintained. The area is safe, and I feel comfortable walking on the streets at 10:30pm on Friday and Saturday nights.

The gentleman in reception at check-in was very friendly. Room was clean and beds were comfy. For a Saturday night, the hotel was quiet so that was great. Secure on site parking cost was also reasonable. Was better than what we were expecting and would definitely recommend and stay again.
