excellent choice”

I must say I love this place! When I first arrived, was being served by two amazing male staffs and they were so polite and warm. The place looks well-furbished, and the bathroom was cleaned everyday. I manage to meet really nice fellow travellers in the room. They have a bar downstairs that serve good alcohol and music. Happening and fun events everyday ready for you. Their location are superb too! It is very near to the iconic railway station , so don't be afraid; you will never get lost here. It is also few distance away to all the trams in most directions. The backpackers is also strategically located beside one of the famous gelatos and several eateries. If Im gonna be here again, this will definitely be my first choice of stay :) Thanks for the wonderful stay.

A mouse ate my bread! I also hated that I had to leave aaaall of my food in the kitchen since mice where everywhere. That's not the hostel's fault though... Bathrooms were clean and nice but outside of the room... Wifi, kitchen, breakfast and beds were nice. People at the room were cool too nice travellers there.

UNITED Backpackers”

Loved the location - right by Flinders St station and amongst an awesome strip of cafes/restaurants. Was very clean and comfortable. Staff were very friendly and helpful and it was good value for money for just the one night stay. Only downside were that the walls seemed thin - I'm a light sleeper and was woken up whenever the other doors slammed shut. Overall, it's a very groovy and centrally located property and would recommend if you are after something simple and has value for money.
