St Kilda Central Apartments Overview
First Impressions
Walking up to St Kilda Central Apartments on Inkerman Street, you immediately get that “this is going to work” feeling. It’s one of those four-star places that doesn’t try too hard — just solid, well-maintained apartments in a building that clearly knows what it’s doing. The entrance feels professional without being stuffy, and honestly, the fact that there’s parking right on site already puts it ahead of most places in this part of Melbourne.
The Neighborhood Advantage
Here’s what I love about this location — you’re actually in St Kilda, not just near it. Inkerman Street puts you close enough to walk to the beach and the main strip, but far enough back that you’re not dealing with the weekend chaos. The couples who stay here seem to really get it (they rate the location almost 9 out of 10), and I can see why. You’ve got cafes within a block, the tram line is right there, and you can walk to Luna Park if that’s your thing. It’s that sweet spot where you feel like a local rather than a tourist.
The Apartment Experience
These aren’t hotel rooms — they’re proper apartments with everything you actually need. Each apartment comes with a full kitchen, which honestly makes such a difference when you’re staying more than a night or two. I mean, being able to grab groceries from the nearby shops and cook breakfast instead of hunting for overpriced hotel food? That’s real value right there. The spaces feel lived-in rather than sterile, with decent furniture and windows that actually let in light.
What Actually Matters
The building runs smoothly — you know what I mean? Hot water works, Wi-Fi doesn’t drop out, and the room stays clean without feeling like it’s been sanitized to death. The recent guests who rated the location so highly aren’t wrong — this really is one of those spots where everything just clicks. You can walk to Acland Street for dinner, catch a tram into the city center, or just wander down to the foreshore when you need some air. The private parking situation is genuinely helpful too, especially if you’re planning day trips along the coast.
Why Guests Love It
What keeps people coming back is that St Kilda Central Apartments doesn’t oversell itself — it just delivers on what matters. You get space, independence, and a location that actually enhances your Melbourne experience rather than limiting it. The 7.7 rating feels about right — it’s not trying to be the fanciest place in town, but it nails the fundamentals. Whether you’re here for a romantic weekend (those couples clearly know something) or just need a solid base for exploring Melbourne, this place gets the job done without any drama.
Melbourne hotels keep food lovers close to Queen Victoria Market, hidden cocktail dens, and rooftop beer gardens.

Reviews of St Kilda Central Apartments
Madison from New Zealand (8/10)
I recently stayed in a one-bedroom apartment. The location was perfect—right by the tram lines, making it easy to get around the city. There’s also an Aldi nearby, which was super convenient for grabbing groceries.
The apartment itself was spacious and well-equipped, with a nice kitchen that had everything needed for cooking. The balcony was a great bonus, offering a nice spot to relax. Access to the building was easy yet very secure, which added to the overall comfort of the stay. Also, good wifi.
On top of all that, it was well-priced for the location. Overall, a great place, and I would definitely stay again!Susan from New Zealand (7/10)
