St Kilda: hotel con bar

We stayed here quite a while back when visiting Melbourne and thought we would try it again. We enjoyed the location and the nearby cafes and supermarket but this time we were very disappointed on so many levels. We were charged on our credit card instead of the usual holding deposit. We did not want the charge of the credit card fee and the guy at reception did not advise us that we could avoid this by using EFTPOS. The kitchen bench and cooktop were dirty with white residue when we walked in. We were advised prior to arriving that due to Covid, the room would not be serviced which we understood. However, upon returning to the room after a day out at 6pm, on the 2nd day of our arrival, we noticed our front door was ajar and not closed properly. Apparently, housekeeping came and left clean towels, but the dirty towels not taken. One bed was made and the others not. We were very angry that our room was left open which was a security risk. We complained to numerous people at reception and asked for compensation at this breach. We were refunded our parking for the duration we were there. We were very fortunate that nothing was stolen, Also, when turning on the exhaust fan in the kitchen, all this white stuff fell out all over the food we were preparing on the cooktop. Disgusting! The remote in the bedroom aircon did not work and staff did not try to get another - just said 'sometimes they get mixed up”. The button to press to turn on was too high up to reach. The shower was difficult to get a decent temperature of water - either boiling hot or cold! The WiFi was disconnected after 2 days and when we called and asked why, they replied that we were checking out. We advised that we only checked in the previous day!!! It seems they had used a password for a previous customer and not changed or extended it. The parking on site is $10 a day but if you have a car parked opposite you, it's a little tricky to get out. Driving out of the gate, there is a steep dip and it scratches the bottom of the front of the car. I would not recommend this place and next time we visit Melbourne, we will look elsewhere.

家人們，誰懂啊~ 墨大學生開學了還在找房子，實在沒轍了，最後一分鐘訂了這家酒店，500人民幣一晚真的很合適，陽台夜景真的特別好，St Kilda富人區散個步就可到海邊，真的超值。前台Eric真的特別友好，強烈推薦。 不要去city住Ibis budget之類的，不僅啥都是壞的，而且真的各種黑女印度裔前台，對白人“Hey!!!! How are you~~!!!”對中國人”你等一下”😅，也可能是我誤會了吧，反正懂得都懂吧😅

Booked this because the price was reasonable. Studio Apartment is misleading as it's a tiny room with a TV, carqvan fridge and microwave. The ironing board was useful as a dining table. Good sized bathroom, terrible water pressure, bed was okay and the room wasn't serviced, not that it really mattered. We were warned about the construction works but couldn't use the tiny courtyard as it had been pulled to pieces and the sliding door was taped up and covered with grotty, torn plastic. Thought we'd have a sleep in as checkout is 10.30 but was woken early by someone banging and crashing around the sliding doors with a broom cleaning. The day before someone was dragging and peeling the plastic off the sliding door, and other guests using the shared entrance can be noisy. Check in was very good, helpful receptionist who made our room a priority for preparation as we were getting in earlier than check-in times but a $100 securiry deposit for the room was taken off my credit card. 5 seconds to take it but apparently takes 5 business days to release it. Still waiting 8 business days later. Bonus is Aldi downstairs, a short work from trams etc. They'll book taxis for you which is very useful. There are rooms for the budget conscious but don't expect anything special. I'd probably pay more for a better room if I were to stay again but this fitted the budget at the time.
