Hotel
Essence Hotel Carlton
609 Swanston Street, Carlton, 3053 Melbourne, Australia – Great location - show map
super clean hotel - rooms small but fine for a 1 or 2 night stay.

10 minutes walk to Chinatown and Melbourne university .

Very clean with modern facilities. Very friendly, helpful staff.

The hotel location is very excellent! Staff is very helpful!

Super comfy bed. Great central location with tram stop in walking distance.

Bed was super comfortable. Room was very quiet. Perfect location.

Excellent value and location was ideal from city. We were going to a show at the State Theatre and shopping, traveling to and from Melbourne by train. The proximity to Lygon St was an added bonus.

As a tourist from other country, we needed internet connection. The wifi was working perfectly fine.

The staff couldn’t have been more helpful made us feel very welcome .

The location is very convenient and close to Chinatown.
