Hotels Near Waterloo Crescent Playground in St Kilda

Excellent place very friendly staff, great location easy to walk to Fitzroy Street. Car park underground spots are a little bit tight for parking. Safe location, easy check in, lovely bottle of wine for hubby's birthday

My husband and I were volunteering at an event in Melbourne for the weekend and decided to stay overnight. Chose the Crest on Barkley as it was near the venue. Looks great from the outside, in a reasonably quiet street with onsite parking. Check in was easy and we then went to our room. Slightly dated, we requested a queen bed and ended up with 2 doubles. The room was quite large, however the bathroom was not clean and needed an update. Hated the pillows (too flat), the bed was comfortable and we got a decent nights sleep. Didn't stay for breakfast, there is a small cafe next door that offers coffee and a variety of take away foods. Overall experience was underwhelming and won't be staying there again.

Selina was one of the first hostels I've ever stayed, though the staff were friendly and welcoming which making me feel comfortable right away. I stayed there for 3 nights in a 4 bed dorm and could have stayed longer since the beds are really comfy and the curtain gives added privacy. So great staff and rooms i would definitely stay again.

My family, who knows~ University students in Mexico are still looking for a house after school starts. There is nothing to do. I booked this hotel at the last minute. The 500 RMB per night is really suitable. The night view from the balcony is really good. St Kilda is a rich area Just a short walk to the beach, really great value. Eric at the front desk is really friendly and highly recommended. Don't go to the city to live in Ibis budget or the like, not only is everything bad, but also all kinds of black female Indian front desks, to white people ”Hey!!!! How are you~~!!!” to Chinese people ”You Wait a minute” 😅, maybe I misunderstood, anyway, I understand everything 😅

Fantastic location right in the heart of St Kilda, so close to Acland st and the beach, etc. Parking is virtually impossible, but you can try. There is a carpark inside, but likely to be shared with the adjoining complexes. Rooms are decent and functional. TV reception in our family room was awful - couldn't even get free-to-air channels to work consistently. Free Wi-Fi. A huge complex with lots of rooms. Loses heaps of stars for the poor customer service at reception. The young guy charged my entire room rate and $150 bond on credit, when I clearly told him that I wanted it on EFTPOS savings to avoid the credit card surcharge. They later said that they can't charge the $150 bond via EFTPOS - almost every luxury hotel we've ever stayed at (Langham, Marriott, Sheraton, etc) are all able (and willing) to charge the bond via EFTPOS. I would've been fine paying the bond via credit, and the room rate via EFTPOS. Small thing, but the guy didn't explain anything on check-in and proceeded to charge me in a way that went against my explicit instructions to him. We would've stayed as the Ridges nearby, had it had better bedding configurations. Unless there's absolutely nothing else available, I'm sure you can find a better place.

My sister and I had the best time at Base St Kilda! It’s an extremely sociable hostel and we met some of our best friends here that we have continued to meet up the east coast! (The bingo is a must do!) While we had some a minor issue with our booking for an excursion with Happy Travels, it was resolved and we are super grateful for the both teams for accomodating and helping us sort it all out! Highly recommend staying here, especially if you’re solo and want to find some friends for life! Thank you Base!

Only stayed one night to work in quite and great for that. Apartment was spacious and had everything you need however it had an odd lay out . A coffee station near kitchen but mire in lounge then a weird desk that was used as a pots and oan cabinet closer to lounge as well . Huge amount of pots and pans but not ione knife. Just nit thought out from perspective if patron. Tga stret its situated on is amazing. The church opposite is special. Infact every building was old and architecturally beautiful.. great place to stay in autumn with the shedding leaves for effect.. it was quiet and was nice but decoecboring, drab, and oddly laud out. I like to feel a warmth and inviting energy when I enter a hotel this was just there to give you twhsy u need to stay away from home for a night in a 1 bedroom apartment in a picturesque street in stkilda....

St. Kilda Beach Hotel + Location is great, jsut a few meters walk to the beach, to convenience stores, restraurants, bars, and tram + Checkin process and checkout are smooth with helpful staff + all the frontdesk people were very helpful the 3 staff who can speak Filipino were also helpful in terms of language barrier even helped us with redeeming AusOpen tickets and getting around, very helpful. + Love the family owned kitchen restaurant just in the hotels vicinity, love the coffee and the breakfast, they have really big portion for small appetite people like us so we decided to split our orders.. still love the small beach town vibe of the resto. + Staff were all friendly and very helpful, from the cleaners to kitchen staff and hotel staff. + Simple design room with view of street and can open window, has airconditioning, beds were soft, a bit smaller pillow but okay, and clean room. - The overall design is a bit outdated as what other comments would say which i agree - the carpet in the lobby has stain, that doesnt look so pleasing for the guests - the elevator is slow and cant seem to find stairs - window cannot fully open just slight open, i understand for safety purposes but maybe a bit more opening would be better, and also dust accumulating through the said window area since its rarely opened. All in all the positive experiences outshines the little minor annoyances and suggestion that we have... Must really commend the staff that helped us, and feel welcomed. And most of all, the area of the city away from the buildings, near the beach, and love the culture, people and everything about Melbourne.

Very good value for money. The hotel is nicely renovated with no waste in space. Sheets are very clean and bed is comfortable. Room is neat and has no smell. The only issue is that it could be very nosey during the weekend because there is a bar in the ground floor. I didn’t experience it because I stayed in weekdays.
