What guests think

Across recent stays at Adara - The Art of Hotels, guests highlight a convenient St Kilda location near trams and Aldi, self-contained apartments with kitchens and laundry, friendly staff, and rooms ranging from spacious and quiet to compact and basic.

Several guests found onsite parking useful, though spaces are tight for larger vehicles and the lifts can be tricky. Cleanliness and maintenance are mixed, with reports of stained or soiled furnishings, dirty ovens, worn fittings, and noisy older air conditioners, while others describe clean, tidy stays. Studios can be very small and some mattresses uncomfortable or joined, and a few stays were disturbed by neighbours, delivery trucks, sensor lights, or construction; others enjoyed quiet, spacious apartments. Expect a practical apartment-style base with variable condition and comfort.

Great location. Room/facilities are in a fairly poor state of repair. Very noisy air conditioner, barely functional door handle and a smelly dishwasher. Other than that good place to stay. Washer and dryer worked and was clean. Full size Fridge freezer. Water pressure was ok.

We has to stay in Adara due to our bathroom rénovation and close to work. Great location, you have everything needed in the room, dishwasher, laundry, drayer, fridge. The only down was the pressure of the shower and the expensive cost $20 per Day to Park your car.

The property was as described and a good size. The only problem was that the lift was tricky. One of the lifts worked ok but I became stuck in the other lift and it wouldn’t take me to the basement.

That part of St Kilda is dirty and unkempt. Directly above ALDI , that street was full of food spills and vomit-, disgusting. The street is also extremely noisy. The ALDI truck reverses in late at night 11pm and leaves at 6am. The hotel rooms are filthy and the mattress was completely worn that you could feel the springs coming through.

Studio room was very very small. Construction on site at the time of my stay. Not too noisy but a bit inconvenient. This is the second time I've stayed here due to closeness of this hotel to family but don't think I'll stay again. Worth paying a little extra somewhere else.

Room was incredibly tiny and to get to the room you go through 4 doors from the carpark, half of which is outside so if it is raining you will get wet. It is a bit of a rabbit warren. The construction started earlier than advised. Workers were onsite from 6am and were making noise. The walls are thin so we could here everything next door. The mini fridge sounded like it was going to take off, so loud. The room was a studio. There was about half a metre gap around the bed and that was it. No chair to sit on, barely any space to walk. It was two twin beds shoved together so there was an uncomfortable lump down the middle. There was a sliding door to a 'courtyard' that was also the main entrance way to the next door apartment and looked out on the main thoroughfare so you couldn't have the blinds open without someone looking in at you. I had the blinds open in the morning while I was in a work meeting on my laptop and the workers kept walking past and looking in, very creepy. With the blinds closed it is very claustrophobic. If parking was free, then yeah, $120 a night is ok, still overpriced but ok. Add on another $20 for parking then the stay is way overpriced. We won't be back.

The staff were lovely and helpful. The location was very convenient for where I needed to be. The heater was on, lights on and soft music was playing upon entry of the room, which was just wonderfully welcoming. The bed mattress was too firm for me but I still slept soundly. One downside was water damage and painting bubbling across an entire skirting board in living room wall area. There's a 2-3 cms gap all along where the skirting board and wall should meet. My concern was mould, especially as Im asthmatic. I cant imagine why this has not been fixed. Not a complicated job, unless ofcourse, there's more damage on the floor under carpets. This was suite 111. I took photos but not sure I can upload them here. Overall, a lovely stay 🙂

Definitely NOT 4.5 stars too many problems to list and I have spoken to reception & Hotels.com. Air conditioning unit sounded like an aeroplane in my bedroom, the furniture was all stained, the bathroom wasn’t clean. Well, the TV in the bedroom is missing and I ordered a king size bed that was a queen or double on king size base. No thank you

The bedroom window opened onto the walk way so the sensor light came on every time somebody used the lift and we didn't feel it would be safe to open the window to let in fresh air.

3 nights. Arrival was outside Reception hours so had to provide POI and complete credit card information in an email. Given the data breaches happening every day, i was not happy to do it but did. Phone msgs went unanswered, emails were not acknowledged. Room was cleanish. Furnishings were chipped and battered. Bed comfortable and linen was fine. Overall fairly quiet area. Aldi downstairs, pubs close by, transport routes also convenient. Tip!! Open the sliding mirrored door in the bedroom because if it's closed, anyone walking outside the apartment has a full view of the bed.
