Upon arriving in Melbourne after 3 months in Asia, we decided to try and find a place to stay that was not full of partying young people. And also with a private room, to be able to relax when we arrived. We were very lucky with the Claremont guesthouse. We got a twin room for a very reasonable rate. It... More

Stayed in a lot of hostels and fancy hotels and this place is in a league of their own. Very clean, warm and friendly. Stayed in double room for 2 nights bathroom close by and all to ourselves. They even had fresh bread and sultana bran for brekky. I could live there.

Highly recommended basic accommodation. Staff very friendly and efficient. Convenient location. Nice old refurbished building. Continental breakfast and wifi and newspapers a real bonus. Stayed twice, smaller rooms a bit cosy but okay for the price. Shared facilities as clean as one could expect. Have stayed twice, will do so again. Parking arrangements convenient and quite cheap for the location.

Even though the room was tiny and I had to climb to bed every night, but hotel was very clean, OK location with free wifi. even though the bathrooms were shared but they where very clean every time I have entered. Breakfast was good as well,... More

Breakfast was very simple but adequate. Stayed 2 nights and will go back again next time we are in... More

My Backpacking days have passed, but am still budget conscious and also looking for a safe and comfortable place to stay. Claremont was a good place to stay in South Yarra. The location is excellent - tram stop outside and also the train station minutes away . Train into the city run every 5 minutes or so and take around... More

I stayed there for about ten nights as my friend and I just moved to Melbourne and needed to stay here until we each find somewhere to live in. If you're looking for somewhere cheap to stay, then this will be the right hostel for you. However if you're not traveling alone, and if you are in need to go... More

Toilets and bathroom disgusting not cleaned regularly, some so bad you can not possibly use. Wi-Fi terrible!! not free in room.. Noisy.. Impossible to park vehicle with out paying ridiculous amounts of money.. kitchen very very basic... and to top it all off we were sitting down to eat in the "GUEST" area and were asked to vacate the area...
