Hotel Claremont Guest House

“It was a nice place to stay and close to the areas I needed to go to”

“Liked the location and cafes being very close.”

“Excellent budget accommodation that suited our every need. Lots of character.”

“Arrived 1. 30am Boxing Day 2020. Was met by a very friendly and helpful concierge/jack-of-all-trades. This place is a real gem - well over 100yrs old and magnificently decked out reflecting its glory days of many, many decades ago. Obviously each room has had many good refurbishments and the rooms are comfortable. The beds are always ultra comfy. If other guests are a bit loud, yes - it can be heard several rooms away, but staff will attend and courteously remind any noisy people to lower such noise. The bathrooms are clean to a fault and I feel that they must be attended to many times per day. Breakfast in the dining hall is worth every cent ($7). Tea/coffee/hot chocolate is free at any time. The location couldn't be better - one block from South Yarra Station (just a few stops from Central Melbourne by train and very frequent trams right past the door!). This place is not 5-star - in my opinion, it is better - it is an experience, as well as being true value for money. If I can, when visiting Melbourne from other States, I look forward to staying at this wonderful establishment.”

“Friendly reception and no enforcement of ridiculous and unnecessary rules to control a non-existent virus. I was sad to see so few people in the hotel at this time of year, thanks to the disastrous lock down. Melbourne has the appearance of returning to something more normal, but beneath the surface there is a lot of damage and hurt to recover from.”
