I love everything during my stay at The Kinson, staff are friendly and helpful, the room was a surprise, it has a great view of St Kilda Rd, and I can see part of Albert Park and Philip Bay, which I didn’t expect. The room is clean and well maintained. The area is safe, and I feel comfortable walking on the streets at 10:30pm on Friday and Saturday nights.

The gentleman in reception at check-in was very friendly. Room was clean and beds were comfy. For a Saturday night, the hotel was quiet so that was great. Secure on site parking cost was also reasonable. Was better than what we were expecting and would definitely recommend and stay again.
