Essence Hotel Carlton

Clean and convenient location. Very small rooms.

Great location, trams right outside, very close to amenities and city centre

Reception staff were friendly and no trouble to stow my luggage as I arrived early and room wasn’t ready. Twin bedroom, clean and tidy, great shower. However, the air conditioning wasn’t working and reception had left for the night so room was quite cold, otherwise for the one night stay was very convenient location.

Perfect for both short and long stays. Location is perfect, in between the busy city centre and the cultural hub of Carlton, with many ice cream spots and cafes nearby. Free tram zone is a 5-minute walk away, and Aldi is right around the corner. The room is spacious and clean, and room cleaning service is offered every day. The kitchen and big common area makes it perfect for longer stays when you may feel like cooking. The large fridge also allows you to store multiple days of groceries and snacks conveniently. There is a pool table free for use. Gym is also free and includes most of the basic equipments needed. Receptionists are incredibly helpful and friendly. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely come back.
