Having stayed at many other novotels I found the size of the room at this hotel to be very disappointing. I booked a 'queen bedroom' but the room was really the size of a single bedroom. The bathroom was so small that the sink could not fit in it and has had to be placed in the bedroom. This can... more

Our experience of this hotel was very positive. The rooms were very clean and contrary to some other reviews were big enough and comfortable; definitley sufficient for sleeping in, showering and getting ready to go out and explore St Kilda and the areas around Melbourne - how much room do you need? The housekeeping staff that we came across were... more

Stayed at the Novotel St Kilda on New Years Eve and wasn't overly impressed. As a regular user of Accor branded hotels, this Novotel felt less like Novotel standard and more like Mecure or Ibis standard. Room was clean, however not that large and very tired looking. Bathroom was tiny. Buffet breakfast was good, usual deal. Great location across the... more

The Novotel in St Kilda is your typical no-nonsense hotel chain that is clean & efficient enough but leaves you with the impression that you just paid $130 for the pleasure of sleeping in a shoebox & my feet are pretty small. It seems crazy to pay for the experience of sleeping in a tiny bedroom, showering in a bathtub... more

We stayed here for 2 nights to visit a friend living nearby. First - the hotel itself. • We had room 212, standard room, carpark view. At $190 a night, I would consider this to be on the expensive side as it looked and felt just like the cheaper ibis chain hotels, only with bigger bathrooms (which was a combined... more

Stayed for one night on business. Room and en suite very small, shower very poor. Check in average, staff appeared disorganised. Towels had a very unpleasant odour. Only the very basic usual toiletries provided. Room appeared a tad grubby and looked low budget. Skip breakfast, food very limited and the coffee is not nice. Had to set own table. Expected... more

If you are visiting Melbourne, St. Kilda is a nice area to stay away from the noise of the city. This Novotel is across the street from the beachfront and St. Kilda Pier. The hotel itself was hard to find. Like other cities in Australia, Melbourne does not believe in street signs (unlike in America), so it was hard to... more

We paid for three nights in a sea faceing spa room and did find this post modernised room a shade small.No double glazing so some street noise. The lobby with Mac computers is very smart but no one offered to help us in with our international weight baggage. The hot water failed untill 11pm the first night. Good breakfast room/restaurant... more

Having had quite a few shocking experiences years back, I usually carefully avoid any properties of the Accor chain. Given that this hotel is so beautifully located, we decided to give it a go. Shocking, how all my bad memories got reconfirmed! We had booked a weekend package in a standard ocean view room which cost us almost 500 bucks... more
