#1 of 3 hotels in St Kilda by Axel's take. St Kilda is #9 of 9 places to stay in Melbourne. The best hotels in St Kilda, ranked · Where to stay in Melbourne

Axel's take: 8.2/10

A comfortable St Kilda base, but noise and current bar renovations need weighing. a 4-star boutique hotel in St Kilda’s historic pub and live-music complex, scored for what it is.

The Prince is a 4-star boutique hotel within a historic pub and live-music complex, rather than a conventional full-service hotel. It’s a strong pick for a St Kilda weekend: the beach is close, trams make city trips straightforward, and Tripadvisor and Expedia guests repeatedly praise the helpful staff, comfortable beds and clean rooms. There’s character here without needing to book a luxury stay.

The trade-offs are worth taking seriously. Booking.com and Tripadvisor guests report noise from functions, neighbours and plumbing, although plenty also describe quiet stays. Entry-level Boutique rooms are compact at around 14 square metres. Most importantly, the hotel currently says the Public Bar is temporarily closed for updates, with breakfast operating at Little Prince Wine instead. Confirm the renovation schedule before booking; we’d skip it if reliable silence or the full downstairs pub experience is essential.

Best for: couples on a St Kilda weekend; live-music fans; beach and café explorers
Watch out for: Public Bar temporarily closed for renovations; event and neighbouring-room noise; compact entry-level rooms
Location: Walkable beach and café location, with convenient trams into central Melbourne.
Rooms: Comfortable beds; Boutique rooms are approximately 14 square metres, with larger balcony categories available.
Cleanliness: Strong overall guest feedback, with occasional housekeeping criticisms rather than a consistent problem.
Service: Friendly, helpful reception staff are a recurring strength across review sites.
Amenities: Live-music venue and free Wi-Fi; breakfast is currently served at Little Prince Wine while the Public Bar is updated.
Fees and surprises: Parking inclusions differ between listings; confirm your booking’s terms and current renovation disruption directly.
