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.

Good hotel with limited service

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.

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.
