We absolutely loved our stay at The Prince. The service was great, location was convenient and the bed was very comfortable. The only issue was noise at times, but it was a Sat night and to be expected.

Lovely property with a great position in St Kilda - walkable to the beach and the hotel has some excellent dining options. The walls in the room are incredibly thin though which is is annoying if you have people in the rooms next to you.

I really enjoyed the property, the staff was accommodating on all levels. The only thing stopping this facility from being all five stars was no pool or spa. A big spa even, would be very good.

Was a whistling/buzzing sound on our floor that wouldn't go away. Night Manager was most helpful but couldn't isolate or fix the noise. Gave us some earplugs which helped. Seemed to be a faulty bearing in A/C or similar, I'm sure it's been fixed by now.
