We stayed at the Clarion 2 weekends in a row. The room was perfect (Yarra View with balcony). Location was excellent, walking distance to so many things/attractions. Facilities were ample, bed was so comfortable, WiFi available, spacious room. And we were lucky enough to have the gorgeous Elvie check us in both times. 😊

Wonderful hotel with the most friendly and helpful staff. Always feels lovely and clean. The only downside would be that the tvs aren’t smart, so can’t stream or cast to, but that’s only minor & just something to be aware of. Highly recommend and we have stayed there multiple times

The location is perfect, watching the trains and enjoying the city lights in Southbank was wonderful at night, I found the sound of the trains to be relaxing but if you feel it would disturb your sleep ask for a room facing away from the river. The staff could not have been more helpful.

We had a Dockside view. 9th floor. Trains were a bit noisey so if you have trouble sleeping with a noise pick the other side of the hotel. We don't so it was nice to look out at the Dockside restaurants at night and see the buzz.
