Was what we needed for our stay. Bit of a walk to the tram but nothing insurmountable. Rooms were in a nice condition and had plenty of space for the four of us. Great spot on Lygon street for all your cafe and restaurant needs.

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.

We hired 3 rooms. Great location, but: Two rooms were good in terms of facilities and cleanliness, however the third room that we had for two nights, had a great deal of mold in the shower. The vinyl couch had tears that covered 20% of the seat. One bed was nice the other queen size bed was terribly hard. We were quoted $ 18 for carparking, on exit we were charged $ 30 for each car. There was no one to speak to as there is no staff on the weekend. Will not go back here.

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.
