What guests think

Many praise the St Kilda location near the beach, trams and eateries, and appreciate convenient on-site parking. Common downsides include late-night noise from the street or nearby venues, thin walls, variable room sizes or views, and patchy Wi‑Fi in some areas. Best for travellers who value location and atmosphere over absolute quiet.

Just an amazing place to stay, the perfect location to enjoy the relaxed vibe of St Kilda and a team stop right outside to get into Melbourne city in 20 mins. Fab food and drink on site, free parking on site, fabulous staff and really good value. The rooms aren’t fancy but perfectly formed and very comfortable. We will be back…..

Lidt slidt hotel. Ok beliggenhed. Værelset dejligt - vi havde to værelser til 3 mennesker, hvilket er perfekt. Desværre kunne man ikke få frisk luft - da vinduerne ikke kunne åbnes. Blev ikke informeret ved check ind, at man kun kunne bestille 1 kaffe eller 1 juice til morgenmaden. I al fairness skal det nævnes, at vi lavet en aftale. God bar!

Once you've figured out the very confusing layout of this hotel, you begin to appreciate it. Having free onsite parking is a major plus. The WiFi Internet is reliable and reasonably fast (for Australia).

The bed was very comfortable, and the shower was excellent. The location was convenient. Unfortunately, the room itself was disappointing — the blinds were broken, the curtains had come off their railings, and the walls were not clean. It was also extremely noisy throughout the night, with people yelling and swearing on the street, making it difficult to sleep.

Super friendly and helpful staff and in a great location - close to restaurants, bars, trams and the beach. Hotel and room design is fab, bed really comfy and room spotless. Only downside was internal building work going on - hammering and drilling started at 8.30am. Not sure how long it's going on for, or whether it affected all rooms (maybe call and check if you're thinking of booking). Def woke us up earlier than we were planning. Wifi also unreliable.

The room was smallish but reasonably comfortable. It would have been much better if the storage had been adequate. The 2-sectioned wardrobe had one usable section. The other section had the fridge and beverage items. Access to the car park was rather convoluted and involved navigating stairs. There are plenty of eating options around, and the St Kilda pier was closeby.

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.

While the hotel was comfortable and the bed was great, the room was extremely noisy mostly from people being rowdy on the street below. Also, the curtains were strange and didn’t fully cover the windows. The hotel needs to work on making the rooms more soundproof. I wouldn’t stay here again just based on the noise.

What a wonderful stay we had. The staff went above all expectations for our stay. We had an issue with our shower and we prompted staff to let them know. Whilst we were out the staff made contact with us and we returned to the reception were we were told they apologised as we needed to change rooms. Here we were both thinking we would need to return to our room to repack our belongings to switch rooms. To our surprise the staff had already reset up our new room and all of belongings were moved and placed in order. Amazing service x

Location is good and easily accessible.

Stayed at the Prince Of Wales because of a Band the Wife and I were seeing at the venue. Very convenient for us because we just had to walk through the Bar area and out the Front. The Room was very clean, and the Bed was comfortable. Shower was really good as well. Perfect location for shopping as we just caught the tram out the front to go into the city, and also there was plenty of café’s and restaurants nearby. Just a short walk to St Kilda beach as well. Wife and I had Breakfast at the Prince Of Wales on the Sunday and it was one of the best Breakfasts we have had in a long time, the food was so fresh and delicious and the coffee was on point as well. Will definitely be coming back 😃
