Clean and fresh smelling rooms but staff are not that great. Was greeted with a funny attitude when I went down to the lobby to ask for a simple pen. The staff act like I am doing them a favour by staying at their hotel! However will continue to stay at The Kinson because rooms are beautiful and well priced.

Disappointed in the room Junior Suite Balcony; it was dark, no natural light, felt small and confide compared to the Studio Deluxe Balcony room which feels big and has windows and so much natural light, how can the junior suite balcony be more expensive but less appealing and nice then the studio deluxe?

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.
