Novotel St. Kilda. Mel

Recommendation:  by Gordon White
 
Suitable for: Leisure, Singles, Couples

The room was exceptionally small, uncomfortably so. This was a problem as we had a large suitcase each, plus hand luggage, as we were touring Australia for 6 weeks from the UK, and there was little room to move. The bathroom was very tired, cracked tiles.

The hot breakfast was overcooked and overpriced, but the location made for easy access to many alternative eating places.

On the plus side, the seaviews were brilliant, the staff were cheerful and polite.

Under the above question "what kind of stay do you think this Hotel is good for?" 'short' should be an option!

The service from staff at the hotel was excellent. All staff were extremely helpful with travel tips, booking day tours and transport assistance. We didn't spend much time in our room, was perfect for what we needed.

staff were great, but after staying at the westin for a couple of days first, i'd have rather paid the little extra a room cost there next time upgraded room was nice, but, the room we should have got was not worth the money!!!!, size is based on the room paid for, the one we received was fantastic!!!!

Service in the bar downstairs was not good neither were the cocktails. The rest was great. Our first room was tiny but front desk were very accommodating and changed our room which was great.

In room service was allways delayed and required a reminder phone call, or on some occasions never responded. EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING. We did however complain to reception on 3 occasions. Air conditioning failure. Poor in house maintainence of hydraulic, electrical and mechanical services. I mannage a small maintainence co. in Sydney. and have a simple yet affective maintainence program that troubleshoots all services for industrial, commercial, residential and retail. Your in house TV/VIDEO/DVD reception not satisfactory and your hot and cold water delivery to bathing facillities needs complete overhaul.
