Hotel Claremont Guest House

This is the best hostel I've ever stayed in Australia. The washroom, toilets and kitchen are super clean. The bed is clean and comfortable. It's very quiet at night so you can get a really good sleep. They have extra blankets in the room in case you feel cold. The staff are very nice and cute. They let me check in when I came early at 8 am. It's only a few steps away from South Yarra station. I will definitely stay here again if I travel to Melbourne.

Few steps to south yarra train station, and you also can find Chemistry warehouse at downstairs of this hotel. Looks more like hostel or budget hotels. Anyway its great value for money during weekend stay at Melbourne. Clean, booked and stayed at bunk bed room but need to share bathroom room with others. Overall its a good budget hotel and with lots of dining options around, such as Chinese food, Thai food and 5 mins to Woolworth supermarket. RECOMMEND TO STAY, IF YOU GO FOR A BUDGET OPTION.

Could have done a little "homework" before I booked a room at this hotel. I wasn't aware that lifts were not available so I worried about carrying my luggage up and down the stairs. Having a reddish & swollen foot ankle, I was glad the staff were able to help me with it. Although the single bedroom was small, I slept well at night. The only concern was that I had to use a shared bathroom, which required me to bring out my toiletries along with me. Overall, I was pleased with the hotel service. Thanks guys for making my stay a memorable one! 👍

The location is GREAT. This is like a 5 mins walk from the South Yarra station, really pleasant neighbourhood. Safe. The rooms had no attached bath, I thought it did my mistake when I booked it. So there are 4 shared baths on one floor of maybe 20+ rooms. During Covid occupancy is low so I guess this was ok but I cannot imagine how crowded it might get when travel were per normal. By the night time, the toilets are pretty dirty and usually a clump of hair at the showers. Also note that there is no airconditioning for the rooms. I was there in late Jan and it was really warm. There were 2 fans but it was just circulating warm air, and mind you I come from sunny Singapore so I am used to heat. I was on level 2 so did not dare to sleep with the windows opened because someone really could just climb in, there is no grill nor net. It is a charming old house but I think probably not value for money. I had a single room for myself.

Good for a budget stay and really convenient location right next to the station. I found the single room a bit too small but you get what you pay for - I recommend paying the $85 for a double. Shared bathrooms however constantly cleaned. What really makes the stay though is the Customer Service from the ladies at the front desk. They have a "No problem" attitude even when they are busy and are really accommodating and helpful with guests. They also really care about ensuring each guest has a great stay. I have stayed in many hotels that lack this kind of service and it really was a breath of fresh air. Please be kind to these ladies when you stay here because they really are good people who have also been struggling with covid and still have such an amazing attitude.

Somehow my review was deleted. Too expensive for what deliver. Noise, corridors stink a vomit, too hot at Nov, too many sunlight at 7am. I arrived 3am my pre booking was ignored! Old man said to find somewhere else!

I stayed here just over four years ago. At that time, breakfast was included and my stay was very pleasant all round. This time around, breakfast was not included. A lovely staff member tactfully informed me when I tried to help myself on the first morning. Also, it would have been useful if staff had told me that a fridge, freezer and microwave had been available when I checked in. I also found the morning time restrictions to the so-called "Dining Area" a bit inconvenient with many school groups staying there, as well. Necessary, perhaps, for student safety but still not ideal. Overall, though, a comfortable bed and an especially friendly staff member made my stay "acceptable".
