Hotel Claremont

Melbourne


In an 1886 heritage building, Claremont offers good value on an exclusive strip. Popular with travelling student groups, it's not exactly a party atmosphere, and the 75 rooms are simple and small, but clean and comfortable, with wooden floorboards and shared bathrooms. There's a guest laundry and 24-hour reception. It's steps from Chapel St and South Yarra station. Rates include breakfast.
