We have just finished a very nice stay at the Clocktower. Having stayed many times for business this was my first visit with the family. Rooms were basic and showing their age but quite tidy. The main bedroom lacked a TV as shown in images online, the dryer was out of order and the kitchen a little under stocked, missing things like a frying pan. There was also a very odd toilet seat cover Velcro attached to the toilet seat. The staff were very attentive and made some great suggestions for local restaurants. Overall the negatives were all quite minor and the stay was very pleasant for my family and I. The location is amazing and very central. We’d be keen to stay again.

This hotel is old and pretty run down. Our room wasn't very clean, and the carpet had a big rip in it. It needs some upgrading and cleaning, but it is convenient. It's located right next to Lygon Street, it's a short walk to University of Melbourne, and there's lots of nearby shopping.

The place can get a little noisy from the nearby rooms, especially in the morning. There was a spider web in the bathroom and the lights were not cleaned for a while. However it is very close to Lygon St and the check in was quick and easy. The apartment was quite large, but the TV was small.

Perfect location close to city and nice large appartment. Cleaning and condition was not the best. Friendly staff, but not easy to get small things like changed lightbulbs fixed. For a 4 night stay, 2 dishwasher tablets were provided, and short opening hours of reception made it unptactical to get more. Big + that they have parking garage!
