The staff at tolarnos are friendly and helpful. They are the property's best asset. The property is old but iconic. It has its quirks. The rooms are well resourced however with fridge, microwave, toaster, kettle, tv. The shower is clean and with ample hot water. The property is walking distance to the beach and tourist attractions.

4/10 Fair

Grungy and sketchy. Not at all what I expected. A dingly old style hotel behind 2 closed down bar/resturants. Room had a bit of a kitchen, then another one in the room with a bed.
Andrew, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Older property which of course could do with updating, but this is to be expected at this fantastic price. Room was HUGE and so comfortable and really, really well appointed. It had absolutely everything we needed. Excellent transport links, will definitely be staying here again!

Had a wedding at encore,perfectly located and made life very easy at night, instead of waiting for a cab, a short stroll home.
Kevin, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good rooms in a great location, Rooms were clean and well appointed. Didn't realise there was no lift facilities which was a bit of a challenge traveling with an 8 month old and all of the associated stuff. Comfortable bed and great pillows.
Nicholas, 2-night trip

So appreciative of the extra help I received with my mobility walker over the weekend.
KL, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Only downfall was the bathroom. Water pressure bad and not enough lights. Overall a pleasant stay.
Anne, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel is very conveniently located - a minute walk to tram stops travelling to the CBD and just a few mins walk to the beach. Also got upgraded to a much larger room free of charge, friendly service and easy check-in/out process. Great room with decent amenities/beautiful artworks displayed throughout the corridor. My relatives who stayed there were impressed and would definitely be coming back next time they’re in Melbourne!
Neera, 5-night trip

4/10 Fair

this is only a 2-3 star rating hotel, very shabby and smells of smoke in the corridors. The window blinds are filthy and smell musty. The carpet is old and shabby. The whole hotel needs a makeover.
Alison, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The security 8/10, the facilities 8/10 old squeeky but clean and maintained building, modern & interesting decor at entrance & reception with compact but functional & modern rooms, Staff/Service excellent 10/10, Parking 8/10 is around 100 meters from hotel, if raining take umbrella, but relatively inexpensive.
Ivan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good overall, no cleaning of the room though. Would go back
Taylor, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

I couldn't hear the trams outside from my room so that was good. Rooms are as pictured in their advertising. 'T' is a nice bloke. Price is good for what you get 😊
Simon, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

For the most part the room was clean and well presented. However, there were several long, black hairs on the bed and bedside table and the bath tub had a film of dust indicating it had neither been used or wiped down for an extended period. Finally, there was no soap apart from a very small tube of body wash. One small bar soap would have been sufficient.
Andrew, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Staff was not responsive too my problem in the room, no heat, hallway was filthy and keycard didn't work in hallway, on the last night the Asian front desk guy actually walk me up to my room and fix the problem.
Richard, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Despite booking months ahead, I was given a lesser basement room. Peeling paint, grubby carpet, non working ceiling fan, little natural light from tiny widows at pavement level. Reception unable to make changes. At least clean sheets, comfortable bed. Not recommended.
