Hotel Claremont Guesthouse (Melbourne, Australia)

With a location across the road from the tram, and close by to the South Yarra train station, guests felt this was the ideal location, especially for those who did not have their own vehicles with them. You can get to just about anywhere in the city from here.

With a combination of excellent customer service and a great room price, many guests felt this budget hotel was fantastic value for money. The staff are well trained to provide a good service, and will ensure you enjoy a hassle-free holiday.

Even though the bathrooms are down at the bottom of the hallway, and all the visitors on one particular floor share the facility, almost all guests found them to be spotlessly clean, fresh and mould-free.

The dorm rooms are a bit of a tight fit, and if they are full at the time, you had better hope you do not suffer from claustrophobia. Guests complained that there was no chance at all of unpacking their suitcases as there was nowhere to pack their clothes.

The accommodation is located above a number of busy shops, and along a well-used street. Guests found the noise level, particularly at night, to be disturbing to their sleep, and would have preferred a room facing the other direction.

You might struggle to find a good spot to park your car, especially during the week and at busy times. Try to find a good space later in the day just before dark when the streets are a little quieter.
