This is our second stay at the Cosmopolitan St Kilda. Both times we have been in a family room. First we were in room 301 and this time 304. Although 301 is a fair bit bigger, I would prefer 304 as it is much quieter. That is the only reason. I hate being in a hotel that is so noisy... More

This hotel was a wonderful suprise. The hotel was wonderful and the price was reasonable. The best part of the stay was the wonderful customer service provided by Ben Higgins. He ensured our the stay was great and gave great information on local activities and places to eat. I would highly suggest this hotel.

This is a nice neat hotel with great service. I booked a petite room, which I knew would be small, but the bed was more like a king single than a double. Very clean though and great location with plenty of great cafes and bars at your doorstep.

Perfect location close to cafe strip and st kilda jetty . The room had everything necessary to make our stay a pleasant one . Having free parking and wifi was a bonus for the price. Our late arrival at night was no problem with extremely helpful staff. As we are planning several trips to Melbourne we will definitely be back

Excellent location. Good online sale price. Clean. Small double bit pokey. Good if your needing a decent hotel but not spending too much time there. Staff friendly. Great cafes just metres away. Tram stop just outside. Metro is 500m away. Power outlet is right above bedside drawer so had to charge phone in bathroom. Overall nothing special but surely adequate.
