The Clarendon Hotel

Great hotel with comfortable bed & in an excellent location, close to many dining options. Walking distance to Crown & South Melbourne Market

For a short and affordable stay the Clarendon was perfect. It’s proximity to the South Melbourne cafes, shopping and markets, and the city makes it ideal for anyone wanting to be out of the busy CBD. The tram to the city is across the road and takes about 10 minutes. It was mostly very quiet but there was neighborhood music one night - fortunately our ear plugs cancelled most of the noise out.

The building has a bar on the ground floor and the rooftop, not unexpected. However I am told the hotel business is separate to the bars. Result- kept awake due to loud music WHICH CONTINUED AFTER THE BARS CLOSED. Basically the bar staff couldn't be bothered turning off the sound system when they closed for the night, so the hotel customers were kept awake all night by doof doof.

Great suite - massive super comfy bed - huge TV. Really nice 👌

第一印象として外観が可愛いホテルです。マーケット、スーパーにも近く、交通の便も良かったです。また、メルボルン旅行の際には泊まりたい。

The room was great, clean and spacious with a good shower. Air conditioning was not very effective. Reception is only manned for short periods and there is a telephone number to contact. Unfortunately, not having an Australian phone this was not possible. They did not have WhatsApp to contact them on WiFi. Rooms are only services on request and so we had to physically see someone to ask for this. I feel that rooms should be refreshed daily unless clients request this not to happen. I do not expect sheets and towels to be changed daily but I also do not book a hotel to make my own bed and clean the bathroom. I do that everyday ant home. Also, there was nothing to say that on Monday and Tuesday the restaurant is closed. This was a slight problem for us as that is when we stayed. There was also not a lot close by that was open but we managed. Overall, I would stay here again but not on a Monday or Tuesday.

Loved the old building. Huge rooms. Convenient to shops, restaurants and trams. Only 4 tram stops to Southern Cross station. Highly recommend.

The room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable.

Room was great. Remodelled bathrooms and comfortable/spacious living room. Service desk wasn't always attended but staff was on call and replied/answered quickly. Close to city centre and great dining options within walking distance.

Close to the cafes and market. Parking is difficult though.

Great location, clean room and clear instructions on how to check in

The room was spacious, complimentary water and right on Clarendon St. All in all, a pleasant stay and will be happy to stay there again.

Central to the main part of the city Loved the restaurant as well

👎

Short walk to South Melbourne market, 5 or 6 takeaway options within 5 minute walk (some dine in) and team stop just outside. Easy check in and room was clean, large, comfortable with decent bed and a Smart TV with your usual streaming services pre installed.

Location good

Very tidy room and super comfy beds. Would happily come back.

Great location in South Melbourne! Responsive service though not on-site. Comfy bed & clean linen. However, they really should seek out other smaller single use amenities (shampoo, conditioner etc) or more permanent alternatives so they don't feel the need to reuse them or not replace them (mine were used). The towels were also not the best, however were sufficient. Carpets need a deep clean, and some areas need additional dusting, however I have a high standard in the regard. For the price paid, it was a good stay.

I didn’t like arriving at 3:30pm only to find an unclean room! Even after the room was made up, it didn’t smell clean. 😔 I did enjoy the sky bar with it’s views & Jhai’s amazing cocktail creations.🍹

Really nice new rooms and amenities.
