Clarendon Hotel Melbourne

The location was good, and the bathroom looked modern and nice. The room was quite large and clean, but it felt oddly bare, with just a bed and a vanity table that seemed randomly picked out. There wasn’t even a bedside lamp. Cups and cutlery in the wardrobe were an odd touch too. The hotel seems like it’s seen better days, and I think you could spend your money better elsewhere.

We’ll definitely come back. The location is handy, with cafes, a supermarket and South Melbourne market close by. There’s a nice pub downstairs and a cool bar upstairs, which is a great bonus. Our room was clean and had everything we needed, and the split system kept us warm on a chilly winter night. Keyless entry was simple, and our host was easy to communicate with. Great value for money.

Once we found reception, the assistance, room and location were all faultless. It was initially hard to locate because the accommodation and hotel are separate entities.

Denis was such a delight to deal with, easy to talk to and exemplary in his customer service, honestly more like what you’d expect at a 5 star hotel. Thanks so much for helping with our mid-March booking and agreeing to store our luggage before and after checkout. We really appreciate it.
