Like where it is easy to walk to multiple attractions or use public transport Hotel has been modernised yet retain sufficient elements of its old charm Only had breakfast there which was good. Enjoyed the in-house bar, wine bar Quite rooms though on the smaller size Very easy parking with walkthrough to the hotel

Absolutely fabulous night thank you.
Megan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I really enjoyed the property, the staff was accommodating on all levels. The only thing stopping this facility from being all five stars was no pool or spa. A big spa even, would be very good.
Cameron, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room was great. The staff friendly. Service on par. The food at the Prince Hotel is not good. There are plenty of great places to eat in & around St Kilda.
Deborah, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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).
Ross, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

At the heart of St Kilda, short walk to the pier and park. However, the room itself is dated, mattress is rather uncomfortable (too soft), and bathroom doors are messily organised
Eddie, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing and friendly staff, place was clean and comfortable, I recommended anyone to stay. Was really close walk to the palais theatre which is why I booked. And cannot make a negative comment against this hotel. The food and drinks were great. Will definitely be back again :) thank you to lovely staff for making me feel very welcomed and safe.

its a great spot except the street people. not that safe after dark, the melbourne govt needs to do something about it .
Brett, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

My room was simple and lovely with beautiful considerate touches. Such a comfortable bed, lovely products to use in the bathroom and all the extras. Iron and ironing board, dressing gown, etc. I will definitely be back. Thank you.
Jill, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
Fiona, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

I have often stayed at the Prince and very much enjoyed it. This time I had a slight problem with my room and the staff, not only not offering any compensation, were dismissive, suggesting I ask for a room without this problem (provision of basic equipment) next time. What makes them think there will be a next time!
Susan, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The toilet flooded our bathroom and when we asked to be moved to another room this was denied. Initially they were not going to mop and clean our bathroom until the next day, after several discussions with managment they decided to clean the bathroom. Would not recommend.
2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
