Lift was not working, so we needed to lug luggage up 3 floors. Entire bathroom get wet when showering, as the shower curtain is quite short. The 3 coat hangers provided were very dirty. The kitchenette wall was very dirty. The carpet was stained. The front desk staff (Ryan) was very helpful and friendly.

Spotlessly clean, great staff. Quiet room and large bathroom. Comfortable bed, although pillows are flat and had to ask for a better one (provided). No toaster though and only serviced every three days which isn’t so good when you’re showering twice a day in summer. 10/10 to Fia, and all staff, we loved our stay!

Close to everything…city, lake, Sth Melb, Albert Park etc.


If there was a feedback form in the room, we’d have left most privately but still giving 5 stars.

The room was spacious and comfortable . The staff were friendly and helpful. The location is great only 7 minutes walk from the new ANZAC Metro Tunnel station.

One thing to be aware of is the car park. There is an extremely steep driveway into the car park. Also the car park is not designed to accomodate large wide SUV's.

The aircon kept turning off and didn’t cool the room it stayed at 33. One side of the bed was uncomfortable and was sinking in. No phone to call reception. The shower started dripping after four hours after four hours after use. Ironing board had a stain and the iron had sticky stuff on it. Breakfast wasn’t offered or supplied. No bottle water supplied. We couldn’t use the lift or the car park without a team member.

The gentlemen on reception was welcoming and helpful. The room was spacious, spotlessly clean and tidy and well resourced. I stayed on the 4th floor and there was no traffic noise. I have reviewed some of the other comments made by past guests and must admit that my experience was the total opposite of some of the negative feedback I sighted. The facility appeared to be very well run and professional. I was extremely happy with the stay and will most definitely be a returning guest.

We had a stranger enter our room and look through all of our things and move things around, eat our food and sleep in our bed. Clearly this hotel doesn’t value security of its guests as it allowed someone else to get a hold of the same keycard. Also the clientele seemed to be rowdy and potentially intoxicated and we are now finding out that they house drug addicts from a nearby hospital. Disgusting. Awaiting a full refund

Only down fall was I got an email a few days prior asking if needed parking I said yes and then was told on arrival that the car park is full as there is only 15 car spots so had to leave our car out on the road as there wasn’t anywhere with available spots close to us at that time. It was free parking but with cars getting stolen daily you get abit worried. And cleaning trying to come into the room before it was even check out time. Overall was a really good stay and will book again.

The property is close to transport and was easy to navigate to and from via car and public transport. The room was a little larger than I expected, which was a pleasant surprise, though not serviced throughout the stay, so this should be considered when booking. I am sure servicing, or basic cleaning, could be requested if needed. On-site parking was a bonus, though parking stations nearby are a little cheaper; however, the convenience outweighs the price difference. Overall, I found the property great value.

Clean well appointed room that was quiet though on a main road. Booking, reception, and departure hassle free. Secure parking available at a reasonable cost. Pet allowed. Secure elevator. Get two keys as one is needed for power.

Charles RAHIM loved the Clarion Apartments in South Yarra. I think the management was Chinese and the level of service was efficient, prompt, easy going and professional all at the sane time. Check in took me less than two minutes and it was done with a smile from the owners or manager im not sure but I was impressed. Its great to see great custoner service from a serviced apartment that is managed by well choosen staff. This will be where I will be staying from now on. The price was less than other places too.

The fridge didn't work so a bar fridge was provided. But no communication that it wasn't working and there was a random bar fridge in the living room. There was no initial dishwashing tablet provided to get you started. The room was really nice but just attention to detail would have been better. But it was clean.

Reception staff were lovely and had to work with challenging circumstances. Maintenance very much needed on the rooms - everything from no hot water for a night, lights not working, hair dryer not working, door not closing properly, unable to find clean blankets, terrible smell in reception ….. list goes on…..the place itself could be fine- just needs maintenance to keep it working help the staff to have the tools they need.

We stayed there for 3 nights and everyone was super nice. It is right next to Albert Park and close enough to the city to go with the trams.
Room was clean, and the shower has been the best one I’ve had in years!

Great customer service but poor cleanliness

We had to ask a room change before we even put our bags done.
Our room had a terrible smell(could’ve been a bad air freshener or someone had just relieved themselves before our arrival)
There seems to be a bad smell/stench present in the hallway and lobby.probably poor ventilation or air conditioning.
The staff were great.

This property is well located to transport and all the city offers. There are some great restaurants within walking distance along with south melb market a short trip. The hotel was clean, lovely balconies and were able to provide for a group booking of 5 rooms. We only stayed one night but I wouldn't hesitate to stay for an extended period. Service was great too. Not one issue. Thank you for a lovely stay 4 stars..

My visit was for work training purposes, and my apartment was a delight to come back to of an evening, as I could sit and look out my window towards the city and sunset, reflecting on my day.

The Staff Manni, and Ryan were very welcoming and always helpful.
I only had one opportunity to meet with Kayla on the last day of my stay (as Kayla was my first phone contact) and found her extremely accommodating.
Thank you to all the staff at Clarion Apartments South Melbourne for making my first trip to Melbourne a memorable and pleasant stay.

The room was clean to the point i felt it was safe to wear my bare feet. ALL of the receptionists were very attentive and not “meh, make it quick i cbf with u people” vibes. Thanks for making my stay better by being great and also good jobs to the housekeepers. I rate it 9/10 ..the other one percent is cos u gotta pay 30 bucks per washing load if im correct.. but each to their own

This is really clean and comfortable accommodation. Really good value for money.
The only detractor is the traffic noise from Kings way. There is little that can be done about this and having said this, it was not loud enough to interrupt sleep. The room was spotless and really well presented.

Honest review, there was no slippers in the room unlike what is presented as part of the amenities and they didn’t keep up with the daily breakfast to go. Also not very sound proof, I can still hear noises outside. Otherwise nice and clean room.

Incompetent reception

Reception had a big trouble finding my reservation. Room was clean and tidy. But the aircon was turning off periodically. I complained the same to the reception but to no avail. No one came to attend my request even though they told me to they would send someone.
In the name of breakfast they handed few snacks items in the afternoon.

We booked a couple of nights in a one bedroom suite. It was perfectly clean, spacious and well appointed. Bathroom / shower very good, strong & consistent water flow. Good kitchenette which we didn’t use, full size fridge & freezer. Only complaint, if you like, was the same as I have with most hotels or motels, the matress on the bed was too firm for my liking.

The property was neat and tidy inside. Not much appeal when you arrive at reception. The room was quite spacious and the bathroom was large.

I stayed three nights. One of the nights doors kept opening and banging shut repeatedly in some part of the building. I don’t know what was going on!

There was no room safe which would have been useful.

Reception staff were helpful.

I’m aware that there’s a complimentary breakfast included in our booking.This is my second time I stayed here and this time I’m with my friend who’ll take an exam nearby.When we arrived I’ve noticed that we don’t have the complimentary breakfast which is in a box supposedly.We informed the lady receptionist (evening) and she told us it should be there.So, I checked again but still I haven’t found anything and went down again to confirm.We can see from her face that she’s upset, we don’t understand why she’s being upset where in the first place they are the one who forgot to put the comlimentary breakfast.She just gave one, and I told her we are 2 staying on the room.As receptionist, she should not give some attitude to the guest.I hope she’ll be more approachable and personable for her to be fit in her position.There’s no phone inside the room so if there’s any concern we still need to go down and talk to the receptionist.Please don’t tolerate this kind of attitude.

I cannot speak more highly of the front desk safe when i had interaction with them. However, the apartment, on arrival was a little disappointing. There was only 1 x towel in the bathroom and no bath mat. The breakfast boxes were not supplied for my 2 night stay. The sofa was the most uncomfortable that i've ever sat on and it would deter me from staying more than 1 or 2 night. The bed was very comfortable, but i was surprised that there wasn't an additional blanket or pillow in the cupboards.

Bed was uncomfortable, especially the pillows. Toilet buttons had to be held down for many seconds in order to flush properly. Hot water in the shower was inconsistent; sometimes hot, sometimes mildly warm. On the Sat night there were loud, angry drunk people making a lot of noise in the corridor of my floor. The staff were friendly and the room itself was stylish and looked good. South Melbourne area itself is good, a short tram ride takes you into the city.
