Great little hotel within walking distance of Lygon Street, Melbourne Central and Vic Markets. Had a morning appointment and the hotel let me leave my car in their carpark until my appointment was finished at no extra charge. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

The hotel's name is unique, as its "essence" was totally more from what l had to leave to be able to stay there at extremely short notice🙏🙏

In a nice area in Carlton, quiet and very walkable down Swanston to the main CBD area. Close to Queen Victoria market as well, tram right outside. Staff were friendly and helpful, car park was secure, underground.

Great location for my trip. Pleasant staff who were very helpful. Had an appointment a short walk away and they let me leave my car in the hotel carpark after checkout until I returned. Very grateful for that. Short walk to Lygon Street for dining. Would definitely stay here again.

Essence Carlton was a great place to stay. Staff were great. Room was well presented and clean and it was diligently serviced daily. Bed and pillows were very comfortable. TV and remote worked well. AC was ready to use and worked well cooling from17-23C. Sure the room was small but we expected that. The tram stop was conveniently located 50m down the road. Room 341 was quiet with a window which opened to a grassed area. Great value for money hotel.

Great spot, friendly staff and perfect location. Walking distance to Lygon St, and just easy! Thanks for connecting us with this gem! Best suited if you just need a comfy bed for the night. The rooms are small but comfortable, and there are lots of options around for entertainment and dining.
