My partner booked this for our 9th Anniversary and I have to say I was disappointed. We were obviously looking for a romantic break but the plywood furniture and grey carpets didn't exactly get us in the mood for love! I have to say that the views and the location were very good, so if you were going on a... more

From the moment I arrived I found that this hotel exceeded my expectations. Reception was speedy and friendly. The bright, smiling, receptionist also presented me with a voucher for a free beverage - much appreciated and quite unexpected. The suite was extremely well equipped for this class of hotel and included a full kitchen, comfortable and well-furnished living area. The... more

Stayed in a Yarra view studio for 3 nights. Average cost was about $145 per night. I think for that price I'd say it's reasonable but not outstanding. Have had better value previously at Oaks apartments in Melb, but on this occasion they were not price competitive, and in any case I was interested in trying somewhere. The Clarion pluses:... more

We originally selected this hotel because of the raving reviews. The "convenient" location is great, if you do not intend on sleeping. Without ear plugs, it was impossible to rest. We were woken every day by early trains....profoundly frustrating! more

Excellent ! Well kept and clean. Great view across the Yarra River for the one bed room suite. Could be noisy as trains run across the track by the river. Strategically located at Melbourne CBD. 3 blocks away there is a Coles Express Supermarket which opens 24 hours. Car park not provided but at a rate of AUD 20.00 per... more
