Business Hotels in Carlton

"Great location. Right in the heart of the city. If you like to walk it takes 15-20 minutes to get to everything in the city. Staff are very helpful and polite. Access to washing machine and dryer for 5 dollars. Also gym has decent cardio equipment and cable machine plus free weights. Rooms are cleaned everyday. Will definitely recommend."

"Facilities: General, but there are no disposable slippers, disposable razors, and shower gel in the room. There was only one bar of soap, shampoo, conditioner and body lotion in the bathroom."

"The room is clean and tidy. I especially like the tree outside the window, the breeze, the sunshine, and the mottled light and shadow. It is very close to the city center and Chinatown, about 8 minutes walk away. The hotel staff is warm and polite. I was a little reluctant to check out - a little bit of You can check out anytime, but your heart can never leave. I am not too interested in taking pictures, so I don’t have any pictures. The scene is only in my heart and in my mind. If you don’t like barefoot, remember to bring a pair of slippers, because there are no slippers in the room."

"We stayed in Room 1003 at Arrow on Swanston as a family of three—two adults and a child—for a short visit to Melbourne. The location was the strongest advantage, offering direct access to Swanston Street’s tram network and nearby restaurants and a short walk to our daughter’s student accommodation at Scape Swanston. The room itself was compact but functional, with a well-equipped kitchenette suitable for preparing simple meals. Although the space was limited, it was clean on arrival and the bed was reasonably comfortable. Housekeeping, however, was only scheduled once every four days, and we had to make repeated requests to have the room cleaned. Towels and toiletries were not replenished automatically and had to be collected in person from the reception. Elevator service was also a drawback—there are only two passenger lifts, which were often slow to arrive, and on multiple occasions, garbage bins were transported in the same lift as guests, making for an unpleasant experience. The sofa bed provided for our child was adequate for a short stay but may not be suitable for longer durations. Heating worked well, which was appreciated during colder evenings, and the kitchenette offered basic but useful amenities. Reception staff were generally polite and helpful when approached. That said, the room and some common areas appeared dated and would benefit from refurbishment. Overall, while the property felt slightly overpriced given the service and maintenance levels, it was convenient and met our basic needs for a short family stay."
