My stay at the Hotel Claremont Guest House was decent overall. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, which added to the overall experience. However, I found the decor to be quite dated, and the shared bathrooms weren’t really my thing. The location near transport was convenient, but the room was smaller than I expected.

My stay at Hotel Claremont Guest House had its ups and downs. The location was fantastic, being close to South Yarra station, and the building has a charming vintage vibe. However, I did find the noise levels were disruptive, especially from the nearby street and the floor above. While the price was quite reasonable, the included breakfast was a significant letdown, falling short of expectations.
