The bad It’s run on a shoestring, I stayed 3 days and had to ask for a top of shower gel. Nobody cleaned my room in that time. The light globes were cheap ones that had a wierd flicker to them which was super annoying, and the bed was really soft (I know some ppl like that) the blinds in the room didn’t work properly so I felt a bit exposed in the bathroom to the neighbouring apartments, no onsite parking, glass doors in the entrance grubby and fingerprints (I know they’re hard to keep clean but if it’s glass it should be clean), ghostly vibe The good Art and decor is fantastic, great location there on Fitzroy st, good price, ghostly vibe (might be your jam who knows)

Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. I'm sorry to hear that your recent stay at the hotel was not up to your expectations. It sounds like there were some cleanliness and maintenance issues and some discomfort with the bed and lighting. Understandably, these factors would detract from your overall experience. On the positive side, the hotel's art and decor seem to have made a strong impression, and its location on Fitzroy St. was convenient for you. Look forward to welcoming you back next time you're in St Kilda.

I'm sorry to hear that the linen was not changed daily. As mentioned in the Welcome letter, we only service rooms upon request. Regarding the lack of milk for tea and coffee, I understand how frustrating it can be when you lack the necessary amenities. Did you bring this to the attention of the hotel staff during your stay? Please, for next time, let us know, and we can provide additional items you require.

Good rooms in a great location, Rooms were clean and well appointed. Didn't realise there was no lift facilities which was a bit of a challenge traveling with an 8 month old and all of the associated stuff. Comfortable bed and great pillows.

Thank you for sharing your feedback! I'm glad to hear that you found the rooms to be clean and well-equipped during your stay. It's great to know that the bed and pillows were comfortable, too. I imagine not having a lift would have been challenging, especially while travelling with an 8-month-old. However, I hope that the excellent location made up for it!
