“Lovely historic property”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

The Charslfield hotel is a lovely historic property - but beyond that, it was really convenient. Every day the concierge provided us with our transit passes, and we were able to hop on the trams that passed the door every 2 minutes and took us to all parts of the city.

“Old World Charm”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2012

An old style mansion turned into an up market hotel located on St Kilda Road about 15 minutes by tram from Federation Square and Flinders Street. The moment you walk in the door you realise you have stepped into something elegant with old world charm. The restaurant serves great food in a charming ambience and the staff were very helpful and pleasant. There is a comfortable lounge and reading room with computer and internet access, a billiards room and large meeting room for corporate use. For those seniors with reduced mobility we suggest a ground floor room is requested as there is no elevator to the first floor and bags have to be carried up stairs. Also our bathroom in the junior suite was long and narrow with reduced space between the edge of the washbasin, toilet and opposite wall which movement somewhat restrictive. However our stay was very pleasant and we would visit again.

Room Tip: There is some road noise from passing trams but not sufficient to be a major problem. If this will b...

“Nice place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012

We stayed here on our wedding night, and loved it. It's a very charming house, and the people working there seemed nice. They gave us a bottle of sparkling wine for free when we told them it was our wedding night, and we really appreciated the gesture. We would have loved to have stayed longer and explored the house a bit more, perhaps trying the pool table, but unfortunately we didn't have the time.

“Authentic, bit expensive, but good deals around”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 January 2012

Like the feel of this hotel at St. Kildard. It looks like a mansion. The cheaper rooms are a tad small, bit outdated, but breath some athmosphere. It is a clean place. Nice for a weekend with breakfast and a bit of romance. I havent seen the bigger rooms. I thought the room was a bit expensive, but I have seen great deals and if you grab the deal you will have calue for money.

“Above expectations all round”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Unique hotel with so many great touches, included! Shoe shining area, large billiard table, beautiful grounds. Service was great, little chocolates by the bed. A pleasant and affordable change from the modern box rooms that are so plentifully available in Melbourne. So peaceful and not a big hotel-easy access to city OR st kilda/chapel st. Will stay here again for sure - 2 nights next time.
