We enjoyed our stay at Clarion Suites Gateway. We were a group of 5. The staff were extremely helpful and quick to deal with a couple of minor issues. We were upgraded to a penthouse suite which was very much appreciated. They accommodated the bed layout we needed and the bedrooms are large and comfortable. The apartment was spacious and had fabulous views across the river. We would recommend this property, which is ideally located, close by to main Melbourne attractions and public transport.

We stayed here for the location, the room having a small kitchen with dishwasher and washing machine. The hotel is needing some renovation, the shower was in the bath and water went everywhere, the soap dispensers were empty in the shower and it seemed they did not have replacements. Having said that the room was a good size, looked out on the river towards Crown. It had parking which we needed. It’s also a little noisy from the trams and trains running in the road where the room looked out on.
