Cosmopolitan Hotel Melbourne

Super friendly and helpful staff. Room has everything you need, and was very clean. My only complaint was that the walls were pretty thin. You can hear those in the room next to you pretty easily. I especially liked that they have a free movie rental policy. As one of the days I was there it rained all day, and this gave me something to do.

Super charming, ultra-​convenient location in the bohemian St. Kilda hood. I, fortunately, no longer have an admin booking my business trips, and was looking for a hotel by the beach, sorrrrt of close to my meetings… It’s a 10-​minute walk to the beach, and right next to busy Acland Street, which is lined with heaps of bars, shops, and restaurants covering every vibe you could want.
At the hotel itself you can borrow movies from the lobby for free, the front desk staff are exceptionally friendly, and the best part: a beer and wine fridge at the front desk.
My only complaint is that it’s across from a backpacker lodge, and the boys hanging outside are fond of cat calls. But really, I’m not complaining — it fluffed my ego on the way to meetings.

Looks really nice when you pull up to the front an the staff are really nice but once you leave the lobby it feels like a sketchy motel. At least my room does. I had to walk out a side door around to the back where my ground floor room door is just open to the public which never feels as safe to me. There were two people on chairs outside their room chatting which was just weird. What the heck are they doing hanging out in a hotel parking lot?
The room is clean and comfortable but it is VERY loud. Traffic noise and music/​talking/​yelling from a nearby bar or party won’t make it easy to sleep tonight.
Sometimes even great service doesn’t cut it when it sounds like there’s a freeway and disco across the road. I suppose it was cheap though.

We had a delightful stay at the Cosmopolitan. We were in the executive studio and had a great kitchen and ensure. The staff were excellent and so helpful. We had the best stay here! Great location, very close to the beach and Fitzroy st. Definitely recommend staying here!

Haven’t actually stayed here yet but many work colleagues have. Cosmopolitan is another hotel from the ‘8 hotels’ family. It has a really nice modern look with staff members all adorned in 8 Hotels uniform which is an elegant black. Being a more botique hotel, the stay is comfortable with many facilities but don’t expect 5 stars. Location is awesome, I highly recommend your cross the road for dinner at Radio Mexico and you have the whole main Fitzroy strip around the corner from you.

Very friendly staff, great location, and clean rooms. For the price, it far exceed our expectations!
Our room was larger than expected, with a desk and mini fridge. The bed was very comfortable. Nice shower. Not spotless, but clean. Climate control worked like a charm. Front desk staff was extremely helpful and friendly, and truly are available ²⁴⁄₇.

The petite rooms are pretty tiny with no chairs or desk, but there is a fridge and you get a double bed. Good for travelling solo as you end up spending little time in the room anyway. Not sure if you can or want to stay in the petite room as a couple.

Cosmopolitan Hotel is part of the 8 Hotels collection, of which there are 15 hotels world wide. Ummm, the maths doesn’t really add up does it? Luckily they do hospitality better then arithmetic and the St. Kilda location is no exception.
This boutique budget hotel is located one street back from Acland street and the esplanade, and here lies both the reason for staying here and the reason to not. The location cannot be beaten in St Kilda. Your minutes away restaurant, bars, shops, transport and the beach. This is fantastic obviously! The trouble is if your allocated a front facing room, it may get a bit loud at night, all night (mostly due to the popular backpackers across the road.)
The hotel rate includes parking which is a godsend in St Kilda. The service here was fantastic, the check-​in process was one of the fastest and smoothest I have experienced and upon requesting an Internet cable they had it ready when I popped down to reception, I didn’t even have to ask for it!
The room itself was furnished with chairs that look like art pieces but are actually very uncomfortable to sit in and the bed was soft. The LCD flat screen on the wall was great, as was the large desk area in the Deluxe King. The rooms themselves are standard. great value to a budget hotel but missing polish for a boutique offering. The bathroom wasn’t memorable, although I was let down by the lack of bathtub. For some reason I like to have the option of a bath while in a hotel, though rarely use it!
The included Continental breakfast was standard hotel fare but in a great café/​bar area which improved the experience.

Great affordable accommodation option right in the heart of St Kilda, public transport at your doorstep as well as complimentary parking need I say more.
The Cosmopolitan Hotel has a range of rooms available ranging from smaller cosy rooms for single travellers, or perhaps those a bit of a budget, to apartments complete with kitchen and lounge facilities, climate control and of course a fully stocked mini bar.
I found the rooms to be adequate but nothing overly flashy, staff are very friendly and no the area well, so can advise guests on activities and sights to see. The Cosmopolitan Hotel is conveniently located within walking distance to St Kilda beach, Luna Park, The Palais Theatre and Albert Park. It is also only a short trip to the MCG, Rod Laver Arena and Melbourne’s iconic shopping trip Chapel Street. The Cosmonaut is a nice hotel good for budget travellers.
