톨라르노 호텔

예약할때는 시설에 간이주방이 있다고 해서 갔는데, 가보니 간이 주방이 없어서 호텔스닷컴에 연락해서 설명 하였습니다. 호텔 방을 옮길지 몰라서 방에서 한참 대기하고 있었는데, 호텔스닷컴에서 리워드 프로그램 고객에 따라 업그레이드가 가능하다고 하여서 추가비용을 내고 방을 스튜디오룸으로 옮겼는데 아주 크고, 주방도 잘 되어있고 좋았습니다. 거기서 우리는 오랫만에 요리도 해먹고 즐거운 시간 보냈습니다. 한가지 아쉬운건 커튼이 너무 작고 거기서 강한 빛이 세어나오는데 제가 잠잘때 눈에 빛이 들어와서 잠을 잘 못잤습니다. 호텔위치 및 커튼을 좀 수정하면 아주 좋을것 같습니다. 전반적으로 깨끗하고 카운터분은 정말 젠틀하시고 마치 영국 고급호텔에 체크인 하는듯한 느낌을 받았습니다. 참, 주차장은 근처에서 10불만 주면 24시간 in/out 가능해서 좋았습니다.

Only one mug one glass and utensils for one person.

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.

Being surrounded by artwork. High ceilings in old building. Easy parking. Tram. Friendly and helpful staff.

Tolarno iS iconic in Melbourne. I remember it as an art gallery in the 1980s, when it was the scene of incredibly diverse exhibitions, managed by George Mora, the son of gallery founders, George and Mirka Mora. Mirka is renowned for her painting illustration work, with its distinctive patterning. Tolarno is a brilliant hotel conversion. Art is everywhere, distinctive recognisable art of diverse media and style. In some areas it is as if pieces of gallery have been hewn from the old walls and repurposed to continue its education and entertainment roles here. Tolarno was known for its hearty food, generosity of spirit and hospitality. All of those qualities are on display now, and the staff generate a welcoming vibe even when they are not around. One never feels stranded. The rooms are comfortable and well maintained, with a strong character of homey architecture before the ubiquitous marble, plastic and flat plasterboard of contemporary hostelries. There are no lifts and rooms are on various levels, making the place inaccessible to many, but its lack in this area probably contributes to its incredible affordability. You are right in the midst of Fitzroy Street here and on the quieter side of the street. I heartily recommend Hotel Tolarno.

The staff at Tolarno's are very pleasant, helpful and accommodating. The hotel is quirky and has been a part of the neighbourhood for decades. It is full of artwork and the downstairs restaurant - currently closed for renovations - will be a welcome re-addition when it eventually reopens. The property is within walking distance to the beach, eateries, venues. The tram stop is literally outside the door and a tram journey into Melb CBD takes approximately 15 minutes. The property, given its age, is not perfect, but is a local landmark and should be preserved as is.

I am a returning guest to Tolarno's, a quirky building that has been a feature of St Kilda for decades. The staff at Tolarno's are splendid people, polite, accommodating and helpful. I will happily return again. Thank you.

The staff at tolarnos are friendly and helpful. They are the property's best asset. The property is old but iconic. It has its quirks. The rooms are well resourced however with fridge, microwave, toaster, kettle, tv. The shower is clean and with ample hot water. The property is walking distance to the beach and tourist attractions.

Grungy and sketchy. Not at all what I expected. A dingly old style hotel behind 2 closed down bar/resturants. Room had a bit of a kitchen, then another one in the room with a bed.

proximity to eating houses

Loved the artwork and staying so close to the beach. The room was a fabulous array of colours and excellent amenities. Lovely friendly staff and easy tram access to the city.

I always love staying here for the convenience and atmosphere

The balcony was great and location was central to restaurants.

We loved how close it was to the tram stop & also to St Kilda beach. Easy walking distance Thank you for having us

Massive 2 bed apartment. huge and comfy couch. Friendly staff. Great location. Quiet room location, back off the Main Street.

Comfortable room with all you need for an overnighter, location was great for the tram to Acland St

Needs a refit of nearly all appliances despite appearing near new (TV, fridge, Fans in room and in bathroom- didnt use the microwave but the jug worked), a chair so there is somewhere to sit other than on the bed and somewhere to put electronic appliances handy to this. Some peeling paint on ceilings points to water leaks in places. Hot water availability was also uncertain. I stayed 4 nights and no room service at all despite kitchenette encouraging own food preparation and only one very small garbage bin (and no bowl to eat cereal etc if you could find out where to buy it). Had to ask for a fresh hand towel. The existing front cafe / bar and restaurant are no longer operating and no information about nearby Metro's to get your own or alternate cafe's restaurants. New day manager trying hard to help but a proper audit is essential to establish what needs to be done. Very sad to see such an iconic cultural place going to ruin. I had also booked and paid for 4 nights in advance through Wotif but when a charge came through that a payment was going to an unknown company in the US despite the notice that there were no foreign currency charges, I responded to a scam warning from my bank and as a result my credit card was cancelled at considerable inconvenience to myself. I subsequently found out from the hotel that Exepedia owned Wotif and were responsible in the US (under a different name) for the transaction-too late.

Good location. Nothing flash about he rooms but staff were helpful.

For the most part the room was clean and well presented. However, there were several long, black hairs on the bed and bedside table and the bath tub had a film of dust indicating it had neither been used or wiped down for an extended period. Finally, there was no soap apart from a very small tube of body wash. One small bar soap would have been sufficient.
