"We booked a studio room, but quickly realized that not all studios here are created equal. We got the smallest studio as we consulted the floor plan. We didn’t ask for another room as we arrived after midnight, totally tired, after a long flight delay. The amenities were not as described here as well. There was no stove, thus no cooking utensils. We could only warm things up using the microwave. The location is near Queen Victoria Market, but 2 stops outside the free tram zone, so you have to pay or walk. Cleaning is only every 3 nights."

★★ 7.3 (24 reviews)

"The Elgin Carlton Studios was small but perfect for a single or a couple for a few nights. Well located near to many restaurants with an enjoyable walk through parks to zoo precinct and easy tram return. Hot water wasn’t available but I’m sure the helpful team at the studios jumped onto that."

Clocktower Apartment Hotel

📍 Shop 27, 255 Drummond St, Carlton
★★★ 6.9 (31 reviews)

"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."

The Eminence Apartments by CLLIX ★★★★
"The place is situated in a quiet side of cbd . Everything is walkable. Beside Melbourne is a nice place to stroll. Its also near Queen Victoria Market. About 8-10 minutes. I usually do the walking than riding a tram. The Eminence is a nice service apartment. You have a complete utility you can use. Stove, oven, ref. , TV, washer and dryer. Cookware . Microwave, its nice , clean and safe hotel that I will surely comeback to stay."
