Great location, quiet place for a short stay and the facilities were good and adequate. The ambience of the hotel included lots of portraits and artwork which felt like an small art museum. Hotel were very close to the beach and restaurants e.g pizza huts, dominos etc. Would stay here again!

Check in was easy. Lady was very informative. Location perfect for where we need to be. Very comfortable room and very quiet. No complaints at all.

Colleen Australia

Our room was comfortable, great value for money, and the two staff I interacted with were incredibly helpful and kind. It's in an excellent spot in St Kilda and the art and history of the place made it a really worthwhile experience. Will be staying again!

The Tolarno is a boutique hotel with some great artful throughout. It’s easy to get to/from the airport by Skybus and there’s a tram stop right in front of the hotel that takes you straight to Flinders Station / CBD in about 25-30mins. It’s an easy 10 min walk to St Kilda Pier. Daniel (at the front desk) was always helpful with directions.
