We stayed here for two nights at the end of a four week trip to Australia. It cost $90 pn. Owner Tony was very friendly and helpful. We were able to check in early no problem. Alltough we had paid for the cheapest room (five rooms shared 2 bathrooms), Tony gave us a much better en suite room at no extra cost. Hotel is an old private hospital with very high ceilings and wide staircases. You can park free in a little court yard at the rear, or if that is full there is steert parking. They don't do food but there are 4 decent cafes and a MacDonalds right outside. The location, at the junction of St kilda Road and Toorak Road West is good with trams to the city right outside. We were more than satisfied.

It's all said in the title. We stayed here for one night when we first arrived in Melbourne. It's a short tram ride away from Federation Square (and is even walkable); we were welcomed warmly and upgraded rooms because there was a better one vacant; the room was very clean (the ensuite bathroom was modern and spotless).

A little pricey, but in line with other Melbourne hotels.

Stayed here for 3 nights at the end of Jan 2011, room was very small but clean, shared bathroom but I paid less for that option so no worries there. Bathroom was clean and never occupied when I wanted it.
Staff pleasant enough.
Location is great as tram stop is right out the front and only about 5 stops to the city or maybe 8 or 9 to St Kilda heading in the other direction.
If all you're after is a bed for the night, you can't go wrong here.

We chose to stay at the Albert Park Manor mainly because it was conveniently located close to relatives in South Yarra. And at A$125 for a deluxe room it was very reasonably priced. However I wouldn't describe as a boutique hotel but more of a guest house as there are no restaurant or breakfast facilities. It was built as a hospital and has that utilitarian feel. It is on a main road and unfortunately we had a room on the front which despite the double glazing was noisy at night. However on the plus side the manager is very helpful, there is free parking and it is conveniently located - walking distance to the wonderful botantical gardens, a short tram ride to the main shopping district and good cafes nearby for meals. If you want to stay in this area and need just a bed, then I would recommend it but do ask for a room at the back away from the road.
