We stayed at the Clarion Suites for four days on holiday with our 4-month old baby. We were upgraded to a riverview room - definitely recommend it! There is a mini "fire show" visible across the river at the casino every hour at night which is lots of fun to see from your room. The rooms are quite spacious. The... more

We stayed at this hotel after the positive reviews on Trip Advisor. On arrival, we paid extra to upgrade to a river view room, as the ordinary rooms are disappointing. The view over the river and Southbank is good- right opposite the Crown complex- but the railway track is right in front, quite ugly and noisy. The room was spacious... more

The suite was on 17th floor facing the Yarra River. The view was excellent. Every hour in evening to mid-night, there is a fire-ball show across Yarra river which we enjoyed... more

I travel a lot and have stayed at many different Hotels. I have stayed at the Gateway over 80 times for both business and pleasure and have always enjoyed the experience. more

We stayed in a One bedroom riverview apartment. Had all the amenities you would expect (fully equip Kitchen, stereo, flat screen Tv, DVD etc..) From 7pm you can... more
