Lady Kaye's great time in the Land Down Under”
Most of the very good rating accomo within CBD costs 1200+ php up without the taxes and fees pa but this hostel that I got really nailed it! 900ish php only! Value for money it is. The bed is soft,linens smell clean and for some reason, it gave me the lemme stay in my bed vibes! On my day 2, after I got back from my tour, I slept at 7pm AEST time, next thing I knew, it was already 4am the next day. Haha! I really dozed it off 💤 💤 💤 with flying colors. Ecstatic! And may I add, their comforter is ftw! Its really thin but the feels of it gave me the warmth that I really need for an 8-10 deg at chilly night it is! Hamayzing! Parang thermal blanket ang peg nya. O enough na, baka sabihin nio sponsored nila accomo ko. No its not. Its from my own pocket dear! No money, no honey. Hahaha! (good to know: this United Backpackers Hotel is in the heart of Melbourne CBD -Central Business District) its right in front of the Flinders St Station which is 1 station away from Southern Cross Station

G'Day - thanks so much for leaving us a review! Guest sheets are changed any time they want, they just need to bring their dirty sheets down to reception so the housekeeping team know to re-make your bed. We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us!
Definitely a YES”
This was probably one of the BEST hostels that I have stayed at. The location was perfect to center of Melbourne, close to the tram, & across from the station. From Skybus location, I was driven to the hostel for free. The staff members were kind & extremely helpful. The place was clean too! I stayed in room 106. The doors slam shut....LOUD. I slept by the door, so I was woken up a lot with the constant people going in & out. Even the bathroom doors slam shut. Staff members should stress to new guests the importance of other guests having different reasons for being in Melbourne so RESPECT should be considered. Some people were living in the hostel for weeks so they were loud. I had no problem telling them to hush up as I was a tourist who was up at 6am. Otherwise, great hostel & I would recommend others to stay :D

We paid a good price for a double room in this hostel and got the amazing double room with ensuite! I will say this is one of the cleanest hostel I was staying with this affordable price Hopefully the price is still the same after this covid situation over, if yes, I will definitely stay here again and again everytime I visit melbourne

Central Location”
This Hostel greatest advantage is its location. It's at the center of most Melbourne tourist attraction. Near flinders station and degraves st., everything is walkable and within the free tram zone. The room with double bed we got provides enough space for 2 persons with large luggages. The room and surroundings are clean, most specially the bathroom even shared. The pantry is clean as well and has free toast breakfast. The staffs are great and polite too. Definitely worth the stay!

Hey Althea. Thankyou so much for the glowing review :D
Last minute overnight stay”
stayed here with a friend for an event. Wouldn't usually stay in backpackers accommodation however all affordable hotels were booked. I would highly recommend this style accommodation to anyone especially groups/couples of friends who need a night in Melbourne and just a bed to seep in. Beds and rooms were clean, safe and comfortable. I so wish I had of discovered how clean and comfortable this style accommodation was years ago, it would've made many more visits to the city with mates affordable! Shared bathrooms are clean and large with plenty of bench/mirror space for getting ready etc.

What a cool place!”
I was in Melbourne for business and needed somewhere cheap to stay given how pricey some of the accommodation in Melbourne is. Given they have a bar, I had drinks with clients there and my clients loved that it was somewhere different, and a bit more down to earth. Top spot!

Nice review Stephen, Hopefully we see you again soon!
Affordable price and good stay! ”
If you are travelling to Melbourne and looking for a good and affordable accommodation, this is the one. It's located bedside flinder Street Station. I've booked for 5nights female dorm with adjoining bathroom and i really enjoy staying here. Eventhough is abit noisy at night, but it doesn't bother me much. Only cons is that free wifi that they provided is basically not working. But, you can connect to MCM guest wifi.

Reasonable price and comfortable stay”
Truly enjoyed my stay here with free pancakes for breakfast ('though you have to prepare your own coffee)! Recommended especially to those who are planning to explore the heart of Melbourne city or needing a nights stay in Melbourne. Transportation is not a problem with it being really near the tram stop and situated right across from the Flinders Train Station. Will definitely be my choice of stay the next time I stop by Melbourne. :)

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED”
If you're a solo traveler, I highly recommend this place. Its very convenient and very close to everything. It's located in the heart of Melbourne's CBD. Just in front of the hostel, you can find Flinders Station, also trams, restaurants, and convenience store. It is also very close to St. Paul's Cathedral, 15 mins walk to Eureka Skydeck and 20 to 30 mins walk to Fitzroy Gardens. If you love to walk, then I highly recommend this place. Rooms are clean too. Whenever I travel, I always make sure that rooms are clean as well as the toilets. I had a goodnight sleep for 3 nights in this backpacker accommodation.

Best backpacker hostel ever! ”
This could probably the best backpacker hostel in Australia. Centrally located, you can view Flinder street train station from the kitchen. I walked the whole city area without taking free tram. There’re plenty of supermarkets around, kitchen is big enough to prepare meals or do my work there. I stayed in female dorm, 4 pax with spacious room, ensuite toilet. The room is very clean, mattress is comfy, there’s AC in room also. I enjoyed my stay here, even staying more than going out to the street. Definitely recommended.

Convenient and great location”
I liked staying there. It‘s a bit pricy - but I guess that‘s Melbourne during the French Open. The bar downstairs is nice and the staff very helpful. They don‘t try to sell you stuff all the time (although you do have to pay for everything: WiFi, adapter, lock...).

Good vibes and brilliant location ”
The location is unbeatable - in the very heart of the city, with all the major attractions, public transportantion, restaurants and cafes just around the corner. The hostel has a very positive vibe, various activities and events take place daily. Friendly staff, good wifi and comfortable beds. Good value for money in CBD.
