Loved the ‘stay’… however I’m tired of these establishments taking a ‘security deposit’ now it’s $150..
Pros:

The property was in an excellent location ..so close to the National Theatre for our concert 🎶 that night. Easy walk to Acland Street ‘the heart’ of St Kilda.

Home away from home!
Pros:

Everything about the Cosmopolitan Hotel is great. The staff were very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We lost an item, and the staff kindly rang us when they found it. Very impressed with the cleanliness and spacious room.
We keep coming back to this Hotel as it's close to all amenities with Acland Street having many Cafès, supermarket and other amazing shops, plus the tram is conveniently nearby and only takes 15 minutes to the CBD.

Cons:

There's nothing that I didn't like. 😀
