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.

The reception manager was excellent. The shower was tough to get into as a bigger person. Internet and parking systems need to be updated. Needs refurbishing. Great location.

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.

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.

Perfect location close to city and nice large appartment. Cleaning and condition was not the best. Friendly staff, but not easy to get small things like changed lightbulbs fixed. For a 4 night stay, 2 dishwasher tablets were provided, and short opening hours of reception made it unptactical to get more. Big + that they have parking garage!

The apartments are dated and there was blood on the carpets. The amenities were also incredibly outdated and we were not given any towels for the shower so between 3 of us we had to use face washers. The staff were lovely on the phone prior to the stay, but we checked in after hours so did not have a chance to speak face to face or get towels. The area was nice and had lots of dining options and the hotel was just off a busy street so was able to be quiet. That being said we didn’t sleep very well because of the rain falling on the windowsill extremely loud, again, probably not the apartments fault though. All in all I probably wouldn’t stay here again due to how run down the place was and not even having towels.

The apartment had all the amenities described on their website. The chap on reception was nice and very helpful. Public transport was a 2 block walk, which is fine if you don't mind the walk. Plenty of nearby cafes and restaurants etc to choose from. **However, the cleanliness in some of the rooms left a lot to be desired. The vinyl floors were not clean, the skirting boards in the toilet looked like they had not been wiped for a few weeks and there was a large clump of hair sitting in the shower. The water from the taps was cloudy and off colour, which did not look great. (This was an older style apartment, so maybe it was just from the pipes in the building). Also, the mattresses were very hard. I am not sure that I would stay here again. I just think this motel needs to invest in a much more competent cleaning service.

The apartment needs a complete spring clean. On entering there was a smell of stale cigarette smoke, carpet needs a wash, soap scum in shower, grouting in bottom of shower filthy, curtains need washing, stove hotplates need cleaning, streaks on kitchen cupboards, dishwasher, oven door and windows/mirrors, dust on top of air conditioner, to name a few things.
