“Carlton Lygon Lodge sits squarely on its namesake street, immersed in Melbourne's celebrated culinary scene and a quick walk to the University; the location is truly a standout. I think the apartment-style rooms with kitchenettes give guests more space and independence than you typically find at this price point. It's a solid choice for anyone seeking a central, no-fuss stay in a lively part of town.”
