Stayed here 4 nights in a deluxe room recently. The room was a good size, comfortable for spending some time in. The bed was HUGE! It was a pretty good location, although out of the city. Regular trams running to the city taking about 25-30 minutes. Bathroom was great, big shower with great water pressure. The room wasn't excessively noisy... More

Doesn't miss a beat the cosmopolitan. Staff are great -really friendly and professional. Rooms clean and comfortable. Close to everything at St Kilda great bars and restaurants nearby. Beds very comfortable and I am fussy.Ben the manager is fantastic. We actually find it not noisy at all with clever soundproofing.

Dear AngeDu, Thank you for your review. We are delighted that we were able to find you a room more suited to your requirements so swiftly.

This hotel is positioned right near the beachfront of Luna Park and Acland St. Our room was ready early and we had a 12pm check out.

We had a great overnight stay here. Great location and friendly staff. Bed was comfortable and room was nice. A little bit noisy because of the trams going past but not bad enough to keep us awake. The bathroom could have been a little cleaner but not bad enough to worry about. Would recommend and would stay here again.

Firstly, I live in a very quiet area and find my sleep easily disturbed by noise so always request a quiet room. There is nothing quiet about the location of the Cosmopolitan but it was close to the venue we were going to, provided secure parking and had numerous dining options nearby so was an excellent choice from that perspective....

I stayed at this hotel for 4 nights at the end of May. I found it pleasant enough and very convenient to Acland Street, local supermarkets and transport which ran right past the door, but wasn't keen on the rather thin curtains on the windows which did nothing to insulate the room. Also, I discovered the air-con didn't work. Being... More

Just around the corner from the renowned Acland Street with all the marvellous cake shops, bars and restaurants. My first impression of the room was that it was a little dated, think that was mainly due to the wardrobe and I was not overly keen on the the net curtain on the balcony doors. That aside the bed was huge... More
