“Clocktower Apartment Hotel's Lygon Street address plants you squarely in Melbourne's vibrant culinary heart. I think its biggest draw is the apartment-style setup with laundry and kitchen-perfect for families or longer stays. While some may find the decor a bit dated, the generous space and dog-friendly policy offer real comforts, making it a practical choice for those who prioritize location and convenience.”
