42 Fitzroy Street, 3182 Melbourne, Australia –

Lock in a great price for Tolarno Hotel – rated 8.5 by recent guests!

to get started.

Bed was comfy, paintings and furnishings were fantastic, staff were great!

Mel, Australia

The location is great - St Kilda and the beach on your doorstep and so are several trams that can take you to the center or other interesting parts of the city. The bathroom was spacious though and the bed super comfortable!

Rian, Netherlands

The location was very convenient, near the beach, tram and Airbus to the airport. Bella at the front desk was fantastic and helped me out with an issue I had with the first room. The beds and pillows were comfortable enough.

Shannon, United States of America

Fantastic location close to groceries, food and St. Kilda Beach and Pier. Excellent, helpful staff. Very clean.

Sanderella, United States of America

Only the location!!!!! The staff were friendly enough, OLD funky building with lots of beautiful art. TRAM right out in front to take you into Melbourne......we only ate at Topolino’s Italian restaurant across the street which was very good and the Irish Pub (Fifth Province) which was excellent. If you book a room here, make sure it is very top floor!!!!!! Back rooms would be dark, but maybe quieter.......

Peggy, Canada

The room was great. Staff were friendly. The decor of the hotel was beautiful.

Mrs, United States of America

Great location short walk to beach, bars & restaurants. Fantastic artwork on display throughout hotel. Good transport links to city & airport. Friendly & helpful staff. Comfortable bed.

Room may have been the smallest hotel room I've ever stayed in.

Common areas badly need to be refreshed, Room was adequate for the price, though the hairdryer was falling apart and there was a spider in the shower. To reach the reception you walk along a corridor with what look like closed restaurants/cafes on each side. Maybe because we stayed on a Monday and Tuesday. Not a great welcoming look though. Area is very run down with people sleeping on the pavement across the street.
Smiling and helpful receptionist. Very convenient to a couple of good restaurants.
