"- Hotel advertises FREE coffee for 5 star Google reviews - Hotel denies this is offered on Google review (photo below proves otherwise) - Multiple failures in accommodation standards, maintenance, fire safety, security, and staff conduct. Requesting senior management contact. Trip.com messages, Emails and calls to Hotel have failed to date. - Attempted to contact Front Office and Hotel Management 5+ times during stay, at checkout, and after departure. No meaningful response received. - Booked Deluxe One Room Apartment with Sofa Bed for three people. On arrival, sofa bed was not made. Linen and pillows had to be requested from reception and waited for. - Sofa bed linen provided was visibly stained (multiple fluid marks) and torn but smelled clean. No mattress topper provided; timber supports (2" wide in centre of sofa bed) protruded, making it unfit for use and causing discomfort and physical pain. - Bathroom issues: towel rail repeatedly detached from wall (reported, no action taken. since found to be a common fault reviewed by other guests on various platforms including. TA). Floor tiles beneath were chipped/cracked with sharp edges, posing injury risk. - Smoke alarm (Model 3786M5) showed solid Red + Green lights throughout stay (per manual indicates inoperable/disconnected/faulty unit). Reported multiple times; no inspection completed after promises made. - Finally advised maintenance unavailable until after public holiday; no room change offered. - Car park pedestrian access door (adjacent to garage door in back alleyway) inoperative entire stay until day of check-out; magnetic lock non-functional, leaving access unsecured. - Prior to arrival, secure parking was confirmed available by phone - due to transporting of high-value stock for event. - During stay, non-guests were observed moving freely through parking levels, one with a pushbike on upper levels beyond bike locker floor. - Booking extension: Receptionist "Sushi" advised 10:00am reception rule but confirmed 1:00pm acceptable if extension completed and key reprogrammed same day. Extension completed via Trip.com at reception. - 1:00pm next day, Sushi denied prior arrangement, became confrontational and belligerent, referenced “200–300 guests dealt with per day”, demanded both bookings be presented so as to treat them individually and not as an extension as advised day prior, stated we should have checked out and re-checked into same room. - CCTV screenshot image of me observed on reception screen during Sunday interaction with Sushi; I took a photo of the same (below), screen content then closed by Sushi. I couldn't have been nicer given the circumstances and wasn't hostile back. Key handover included key being pushed across counter jammed between monitor, glass wall and POS machine after reprocessing by Sushi. - Night staff confirmed audio/video recording exists in reception (recommended for review) when discussing earlier confrontation. - Room 3919 is not fit for safe habitation and should be withdrawn form service immediately"
Carlton Lygon Lodge - Close to Melbourne Uni ★★★
"Nice and affordable place"
Best Western Plus Travel Inn Hotel ★★★★
"Would recommend this hotel - good value and friendly staff."
Crowne Plaza MELBOURNE CARLTON by IHG ★★★★
"The hotel is newly renovated and the rooms are clean and tidy. It's located right next to the University of Melbourne campus, with a tram stop directly outside. It's a quick 5-minute tram ride to Chinatown and the city center, or a pleasant 20-minute walk."
Zagame's House ★★★★★
"A very satisfying stay"
Melbourne Studio Apartments Hotel @ 138 Elgin Carlton ★★
"It was random selection which turned out to be the best one. Best location in carlton. 3-4 mins drive to cbd and other good spots. If you are a foodie you must book this place, as you step out of the hotel and you have access to every cafe and food spots."
Clocktower Apartment Hotel ★★★
"We had a booking in May 2025 for a Saturday night. Arrived after reception had closed, so picked up the keys from next door (Best Western I think it was). Got up to room and it had not been cleaned from previous people. When I rang the after hours number, was told there was nothing they could do, and they would refund the money. Not helpful when it was 6pm on a Saturday night. And to top it all off we had to pay to get out of the carpark- which I was told I would be refunded for, but that has not happened."
