Work for value ”

Good location , Next to southern cross station and convenient to use free tram to CBN also St Kilda beach Walk around 5 min to crown casino 10 min to DFO outlet. Overall the hotel is good only not enough bath room to use .

Fantastic establishment with helpful staffs. ”

i was travelling with my mum, got a private room with twin bed (bunk bed), and she arrived 1 day earlier. Staffs are friendly and lively bunch of awesome people. No lift, shared common shower room/ toilet, shared kitchen. Highly recommended for travellers.

Very good”

The bed I had was dusty and the pillow case or duvet wasn't changed. However, the location are good as it nearby the train and tram station, and 7-11 are just beside the hostel. Walking distance to a few attractions spot which is nice. But the room I had was smelly and the window was not able to open, and no hair dryer provided as well.

Happy!”

Positive; - spacious dorms - helpful staff (i wasn't happy with my room at check-in, but both the girl & guy at reception were extremely helpful and considerate and now i am happy) - good location - free pancakes / rice / pasta / tea - kitchen is cleaned a few times during the day, even during dinner time when lazy backpackers don't clean their own stuff - lots of bathrooms Improvement points; - rooms are rediculously hot without a/c and limited amount of fans - lots of noise from trains, earplugs will do though - wifi is very... australian haha Thanks!

When the staff go above and beyond ”

The property itself isn’t flash but the staff make up for whatever the place lacks in appearance. Shout out to Stu, the queen of hospitality, you are the best, thanks for being a huge help. Rooms are spacious, kitchen area is good for solo travellers to meet people, plus the little bar attached to the hostel is good fun.

Ideal location, great staff ”

Great location, ideal for getting around, close to everything. Free pancakes in the morning, easy checkout! Stayed here for a couple weeks while adjusting to Melbourne and the staff were super helpful and patient with my constant extending- STUUUU is an absolute legend! I would not have stayed here as long if it weren’t for him constantly helping out and making me feel at home xx

Never again”

You can find so much more value for your money; they are doing updates to this place but still, it’s crap compared to other ones in similar location and price range.

Just love this place. ”

Just like a big family but very well organised. Big kitchen with all the cooking equipments, thanks for the free pancakes every morning. Lots of toilets and shower rooms. Close to the free tram stand, very easy to go to central to train station to the parks. I just love this place. Only a bit noisy from the road.

Good location, but poor in hygine”

Location is great, close to Southern Cross Station. Definitely good for those who are in transit. High ceiling. Public shower facilities are fine. No lift at the hostel, need to carry bagged up to third floor. Hygiene for bedsheet is not desired. Number of Power socket is not enough in room for three persons. Though with WiFi password, cannot connect to internet. Though we stayed at 3/F, can still heat the noise from bar at G/F.

Above average”

If I were to come back, location would be the reason. It's really convenient as it is located nearby the free tram zone (Southern Cross Station & Flinders St/ Spencer St). The shower water can be improved as the hot water supply wasn't consistent, you will be shivering shower at night.

Having more other better choices around this price ”

The hotel location was closer to Route 36 free tram service. Unfortunately, our twin room was too noisy for the train in every certain moment. It was very bad for us. But you liked parties and could enjoy.

Worst ”

No elevator as it mentioned before I decided to book this hostel Old building structure made by woods ! You can feel uncertain when you walk up the staircase and the room condition is worst all are old and never developed Always heard noisy outside

Bed sheet was not clean”

They didn't change bed sheet, I asked the girl at reception to change it, she pretended didn't understand. I have to talk to another tall young male receptionist, he was very helpful and came to change it quickly. Breakfast Pancake needed to queue in line to wait for one guy to cook and it was really slow. Not good.

Strategic place to stay”

Must keep up the cleanliness. Overall the staff so helpful.

Satisfied ”

Looks old but everything is actually good. Nice reception with a smooth check in. Acceptable room. Fully equipped kitchen with a lot of free food. Free breakfast. We had pancakes. Big luggage store. Kind staffs letting us to use the kitchen after check out even though it may not be a big deal.

Love it here!”

At a very convenient location. Close to everything and has Wi-Fi in the morning. But the guy over the counter downstairs (where you get the Wi-Fi password) where really rude to my boyfriend when he tried to ask for the password. He was being racist, saying "We don't give Wi-Fi passwords to Asians!" Not a very friendly place for Asians but other than that everything was perfect.

Had a great sleep after 8 hours flight”

I arrived Melbourne at night after 8 hours plus flight. Had a great sleep as the mattress is not a substandard mattress. Thank you! The location of this backpackers hostel is quite centrally located. I had a city walk in Melbourne in the next morning and it was easy to walk around and reach everywhere in the city.

amenities!”

we can get a towel, shampoo and conditioner. I was glad using two pillows per one bed. I guess, it is nice especially for ladies.

Good location, average ventilation ”

The room and bathroom are clean and the hostel is in good location. The staffs are friendly. The rooms are a bit old and the bathroom is shared with both males and females. It will be a concern for certain people. Also the room ventilation is not good enough that we had to open the windows instead. The fan in the room is not working. No free wifi in rooms which is very inconvenient.

Really bad place”

Me and my group of friends had a really bad experience at this hostel. It's really dirty, has lot of mices at the kitchen and the rooms! They throw out food bags without even asking, they have really bad treatment at the reception. We wouldn't recommend this place at all.
