My boyfriend and I stayed at this hotel for our anniversary on the 28th of August, which also happened to coincide with us going to see Alice Cooper at the Palais which is right across the street from the Novotel. We had an Executive Queen Spa room which was quite big and featured a desk, lots of cupboard space, a... more

The Novotel is good, solid hotel, but not a fancy one. The rooms are a little smaller than U.S. hotels, but it was still clean and functional. It's a standard hotel, not a luxury resort, and I was fine with that. It's located across from the beach, but you do have to walk down a long path and cross a... more

The hotel is comfortable and clean. Not all the rooms have wonderful views but if you are lucky you'll get a really nice view. The staff weren't so nice when we checked in but were reasonably ok. I would recommend visiting St Kilda for one or two nights on a trip to Melbourne but would strongly suggest spend most of... more

Usually I quite like Novotel's, because they are consistent and generally have all you need. However the one in St Kilda is really disappointing, apart from the location which is good. The lobby is very stark, generally fine - good that they have free internet access. Reception staff are pleasant and efficient. The room we got however was average at... more

I checked into the Novotel after spending a week in the city at a conference. My wife joined me and we had a great weekend, helped considerably by unusually mild weather. The last time I had been at the Novotel St Kilda was two years ago and while the service was good, the hotel was extremely 'tired' and dated. I... more

We found St Kilda a lovely place to stay rather than in Melbourne city, and a very regular tram service stopping right outside hotel made it easy to get into the city. The view from the hotel is lovely and it is convenient to Ackland Street which has some lovely restaurants and great cake shops! The hotel has recently been... more

My wife booked this room as a romantic get-away for my birthday and managed to get a great rate. When she rang the reception staff to see if they could organise a bottle of wine as a birthday surprise for me they were more than happy to do this. We were very pleasantly surprised to be greeted warmly and welcomingly... more

I read a couple of reviews bagging this hotel and just wanted to say that I have stayed here 3 times in the last few months and plan to stay there again this weekend. The main reason is the location - right opposite the beach and nearby to all the wonderful shops, restaurants, bars and people watching of St Kilda... more

I stayed with my young son at this hotel on 7th April 2009. We took advantage of a internet special and for the rate paid, was very pleased with the accomodation. The standard room was a fair size, not overly big but not tiny either. The bathroom had a small bath which was a plus with a young child, however... more
