The Prince Hotel

I stayed here for a week in total. Great location near the beach and tram stops. Modern interior. The price difference between the boutique and deluxe room can be small but the difference is huge. Service can make or break a place, and Patty was so welcoming and accommodating and cool - she made my stay.

Really great experience, only a 700m walk from Acland street as well. They also gave us a discount for the late-night booking, which was a pleasant surprise. We called up a few minutes and booked our room, which was the final room remaining! The attendant was polite, efficient, and just an all-round a great guy. The room itself was small, but as expected, very clean and a well-stocked minibar and safe. Highly recommended

We didn't stay here thus visit but we did last visit. This time we visited the public bar for beers on a hot Saturday. It wasn't too busy and the bar staff were friendly. The menu is great with vegetarian options. When we stayed the rooms were soooo nice. Really spacious and clean and quiet. Position is A1 for resteraunts, bars and cafes.

Took my family there for a impromptu meal and they were able to accommodate all 9 of us. The service was exceptional from the staff, the food was great and we didn have to wait overly long, even for the picky members of my family. If we're ever back in the area again we'd definitely come back. I'd definitely recommend you stop here.

4 of us had meals before a gig upstairs. Staff were great, my meal, a burger, small but OK & reasonably priced. My wife’s meal, the Caesar salad, smaller but nice & reasonably priced too. A steak was ordered, tiny with a tiny bowl of chips & NOTHING ELSE. Really disappointing, especially for the price you pay these days for steaks. Last meal was a small bowl of slop. They called it pasta, a couple bits of pasta in soup more likely. Go for the music, eat elsewhere.

Great location, great room and awesome service. Front desk helps/gives you as much information as possible to help with your visiting stay and tour. Best sleep I ever had, the bed is so comfy that I was undisturbed by my partnerys snoring. Pillows was 👌🏻 so so good! It was to work getaway/birthday stay, Didn't eat in the hotel but stayed in and enjoy mini bar offerings and Netflix. The stay was really relaxing and romantic.

I had a great stay at the Prince. Perfect location, very clean and comfortable rooms and the hotel itself is beautiful. Patty at the front desk is an angel and went above and beyond to accommodate my ever changing travel schedules. Will definitely be back next time I'm in Melbourne!

Me and my friend went to an event here last weekend to see comeback kid unfortunately I had a had bad experience not because of the venue but personal reasons I went to security and asked for help I think the number he was wearing was 017 because of this person my night ended safely he was very understanding and respectful towards the emotions I had and called on his radio for a female staff member and stayed with me until she arrived. Both were very kind and understanding and honestly despite my personal experience I was having made my night feel better knowing they were looking out for us I would definitely recommend this place it is amazing and staff are so friendly please if anyone knows who this security guard was please pass a very heartfelt thank you he honestly was the best.

Booked a queen bed and received a full. Did not honor booking and did not advise at point of check In hat lesser room was provided. Location is noisy, rooms are very dated and property overall is overrated and at best 3.5 stars. Relies on its location for its reputation! Definitely not 5 star.

Wow! Haven eaten here for a while. The cuisine now is middle eastern flavoured. The dishes were so tasty, not too rich and wow, they have really stepped it up. The service, great. The drinks fantastic. Atmosphere great. We cervice, lamb and prawn skewers, tasty mushrooms and more. The roast chicken was fantastic. All deserts super. We ended up eating there twice in the same day. Just great.

Here for work, I was a bit hesitant booking the Prince knowing it's also home to the Price of Wales pub and also traveling with my boss, I thought this could be a disaster BUT I'm pleased to be wrong - what a brilliant hotel!! The hotel is stylish but small, and most of all quiet! My room was super elegant but minimal. Being a frequent traveller for work, I am now a collector Of bathroom accessories which were a decent brand (Malin + Goetzi). The bed - holy crap, the kind I got out of finally, 1 hour past my alarm, I did not want to move from the bed - so good! Only giving it 4 because the rooms do need a lick of paint, they aren't the newest but the marks on walls could very easily be glossed over by many a traveller. And did I mention, the normal check out time is 11am! Where on earth does that happen without having to pay a fee?! Cheers! Really good wifi connection in room and an even better one in their restaurant where I'm currently having breakfast which is included in the room. I chose a homemade crumpet with Parisan butter and leatherwood honey, so good. Yay and would SO recommend!

I am staying at The Prince for the 5th time, it is as wonderful as always, exceptional service, chic surroundings, incredible breakfast included in the rate at Circa and a Dutch woman working at front desk whose energy and enthusiasm typify this great city. I could never stay anywhere else in Melbourne.

I've only ever been to Prince of Wales on a Monday for gay night. Usually a great time. Cheap beer, indie guys, Drag Queen arm wrestling, and dancing on tables in the dark with lasers shining in your eye. A good place to get pissed out of your mind and do things you'll regret and laugh about the next day.

Prince of Wales Hotel in St Kilda is one of the last dive bars around. It's dodgy enough to feel edgy and yet you're not scared you will be bashed if you win at pool. Everyone's really friendly in there and don't be surprised if an old codger asks you to play with him.... pool I mean. They have $2.50 pots on a Monday night and the room next door is gay night and has a drag show. Upstairs is The Bandroom which have all sorts of live gigs on there. Friday and Saturdays can be a little young for me, but great clubbing if that's what you're in to. There's something for everyone at The Prince and it's on Fitzroy street so there are plenty of options for a cracking night out.

I loved this hotel. It is small, stylish and in a great location. The internet service is flawless, the room was quiet, the hotel was clean, and the price is reasonable. The breakfast served in the morning was much better than most hotels. The location is very close to many restaurants. My only difficulty was getting cabs in the mornings.
