6/10 Good

I used to always stay at this hotel a few years ago and always loved it bc of its location and its retro shabby chic vibe. Since, however, it’s only gotten shabby and kind of gross and run down. Now the vibe is halfway house, with dirty and mouldy bathrooms, really old mattresses that make you itchy and just dusty and old items. The TV wasn’t a a smart one and only offered local channels, etc. The owners should update the rooms and at least buy newer furniture. The only saving grace is the staff, they are lovely and helpful. The front desk staff and handy person were the best part of my stay there.

Location of hotel in St Kilda was excellent. The Tolarno itself has an arty boutique feel. It looks a bit tired in places but if you can past that I would stay again. 2 mins walk to great Irish bar - Fifth Province. You need to go there.

6/10 Good

The room was very tired and had bad paintwork, patch up jobs everywhere. Bathroom ceiling was covered in mould, grout in shower mouldy. Dust all over ceiling fan and aircon looked dusty too, was spitting water on me the first night. Bed was comfortable and sheets were clean thank god. Floor in common areas looked un-vacuumed despite vacuum cleaner sitting out for most of day.

Love that the business has a history of Australian art, having connection to Mirka Mora, art gallery director and well known art collector. So good to see ongoing paintings of all sizes and contemporary styles in the rooms and hallways. Stephen at the front desk was very helpful and knowledgeable - a delightful person.
