The Hamptons Apartments - St Kilda

The location was very good. Tram stop was directly next to The Hamptons. The apartment had everything we needed. The bed was a little on the small side and was soft so not good if you are use to a firm mattress. Views from our spacious balcony was good. Water pressure in shower and the hand held shower head was okay but not great. The Hamptons greeting and customer service was excellent. Yes, I’d recommend if you would like to stay outside Melbourne CBD

I have stayed at The Hamptons St Kilda on 4 occassions now. The apartments are nicely furnished, quality finishes throughout with a fully fitted kitchen with all the utensils to cook up a storm! Well proportioned bathroom. Bedrooms with a wardrobe and plenty of storage. Beds are very confortable and bedding/sheets are crisp and clean

First unit we utilized the 2-bed, 2 bath unit. It was top notch! If you are looking at booking, it is the unit with no balcony. However, you do have a nice, sunny living area, with wrap-around windows. It also had double layer shades to only block sun, or block sun and light. We had plenty of hot water for showers with three gals enjoying a travel-for-wedding vacation. One notation, if you are going to a wedding, don't be an ***** like me, and assume St. Kilda Townhall (across the street) is the same as Melbourne town hall. If your wedding is at Melbourne townhall, you have a 20 minute uber ride to tackle. Being from the Rocky Mountain region in the US, I enjoyed the sounds from the tram moving by the apartment. It was novel. You may want to consider this if you are a light sleeper though (only in 2bed/2 bath. The other unit we rented was on the rear alley side of the building, so no trolley noise there). The unit was exceptionally clean. Next, we stayed in the unit displayed as 2 bed/1 bath. Upon move in, we found there was actually a tiny powder room in the hallway with a toilet. So there were two toilets, one shower. The balcony was massive, with a 6 person table, and entire living space with outdoor sofas. If you are there in the summer, this unit would be amazing! It was still slightly chilly in mid November, so we did not utilize it much. But it was all clean and in nice repair. One of the bedrooms has a walk-in closet, as well as a door to the huge terrace. A few things to point out about both units overall: They provided a generous amount of starter coffee, tea, dish detergent, washing machine detergent (at least enough for 2 loads on both). There was a tidy ironing board, iron, air drying clothes rack, vacuum, and hair dryer. We realised you must leave the closet open when using the tumbler, as it vents the moisture back into the apartments, not outside. We came back to water everywhere, not realising it would blow the moist air back into the closet. Just leave the closet doors open, and it will not create condensation dripping on the floor. I would recommend the property get spatulas for making pancakes and eggs. They did have a corkscrew, that was nice! There is only one wall style mitsubishi heater in the apartments. so if you are there in the winter, you may want to buy/pack blankets, as the heater does not do much for the bedrooms. even the living space was a bit chilly on cold days. That said, in November, I thought the bedding was very cozy and warm. Just glad I brought a blanket for the sofa. Location was awesome! Dominoes pizza is next door & open late (and has gluten free pizza). Loads of cool vintage shops on Carlisle Street, about a 5 minute walk away. There are also multiple big supermarkets on Carlisle. Plenty of nice bars, Asian restaurants, & coffee shops too. Uber costed about 15-20 USD in November 2022 to get to Downtown Melbs. Walking to the bay and fun park on the water took about 20 minutes.
