Pros:

The staff are super friendly and couldn't be more helpful. They even kindly gave us a free room upgrade and free drinks vouchers for it being my birthday. The room service and breakfast were both served very quickly and efficiently and we're of really high quality. The room was modern and so spacious, it was a very comfortable suite to stay in and we also really enjoyed the balconies. The hotel was quiet and we enjoyed a really good night's sleep. The location is also perfect for exploring St Kilda and the surrounds with extremely convenient access to tram stops outside.

Cons:

Nothing

Great location, very reasonable price and the beds were like sleeping on a cloud!
Pros:

Location is great. Beds are so comfortable and my room had lots of natural light. Plus I was able to get an early check in and car park is only $10 per night.

Cons:

My room was next to the lift so there was a little extra noise from that.
