The room was acceptable, the position was great with easy access to Buses and Trams (a short walk across the Piazza) in Lygon street, additionally 24 hour convenience with 711 across the road.
The Carlton Lygon lodge team were always approachable and attentive.

Clean room, plenty of space. Kitchenette was handy. Trams nearby and they run very frequently. Supermarket down the road and the hotel is surrounded by eating places. The Afghan restaurant nearly next door was excellent.

Very convenient location in the centre of Lygon Street. Rooms were spotless. Linen crisp although showing its age. Very quiet overnight considering the location. Good air-conditioning in the middle of a heatwave.
