Hotel Novotel Melbourne St Kilda (Melbourne, Australia)

The hotel is situated right near St. Kilda Beach in one of Melbourne's most popular neighbourhoods. Palais Theatre and Luna Park can be reached in five minutes on foot while the trendy cafes, restaurants and shops of Fitzroy Street are a ten-minute walk away from the hotel.

The employees at the property know their stuff when it comes to taking care of you. Guests say the staff are extremely friendly and also do everything possible to accommodate your need or requests when at the hotel.

A number of rooms at the hotel have views that look over Port Phillip Bay. Visitors rave about the views of the water saying they are spectacular and offer something a bit unique.

Some guests point out that the rooms are fairly basic and don't really look all that impressive. In addition to this, it was also noted that the accommodations tend to be a bit small and lacking in in-room amenities.

There is on-site parking at the property but using it comes with an additional charge each day. A number of visitors state that the parking fee is probably a little too much and add that there aren't really any alternatives to use if you have a car with you.

Several travellers comment that the entire property is looking a little dated and that a refresh could be used. The decor in the accommodations and common areas is not particularly vibrant and some signs of wear are evident according to a handful of guests.
