My friend checked in the hostel on 9May with booking prepaid. 2 nights later I went to Reception to extend the room for her. That awful receptionist Laurance questioned why didnt my friend hasn't came to check in and with no any ID resigtration in the system. I explained to him that my friend did check in and already staying... More

I stayed at this hostel for 5 nights in March - in a 4 bed female room. First the positive things - the location is good and I met some great people whilst staying there. Additionally I liked that there was free breakfast (toast and cereal). The bathrooms on my floor were (generally) quite clean and there were plenty of... More

When I first got there and got to the room they gave me I though to myself there is no way I will stay in this room for a week, if they don't have anything better than that to offer me, I am leaving and will find another place to stay for the week. The room was disgusting but clearly... More

i enjoyed here because of the people i met. the 4 bed dorms are tiny, 3 bed dorms are larger (doesn't make sense i no!!) showers/toilets are old could do with a refurb, they need to be cleaned a few times a day not just at 6am! very noisy, lots of young people around - price reflects this as its...

I stayed in this hostel for one night with a couple of friends. The only good things about it are the location and the 24hr reception. They gave us one sheet and a pillowcase, but we had to use dirty, stained, gross doonas. The floor was so sticky I had to pull on my foot to take a step. The... More

I stayed in a female only 4-bed dorm, for 6 nights and thought it was fine. The room was clean when we arrived and we were given clean sheets & pillow case. The bathrooms on our level were as expected and I noted they were cleaned every morning. Great shower!!! My friend and I only cooked once while we were... More

This place is a dump If you Google this place and see the photo that comes up of one of the dorms, be warned that this place looks NOTHING like that. It's completely false. We got to reception and the two guys sat behind the desk looked as us as if to say "Yeah... what do you want?" They weren't... More

I think staying here, you need to be realistic about the fact that it is a backpackers. I've only stayed in the private rooms here and never a share room, so I've found that it has not been too bad. The pros of the place are really that it's cheap accommodation in the Melbourne CBD and that it is a... More

Mould on windows, sheets on bed stained. People running around at all times screaming and waking everyone up with no sign of security or staff in general. Smoking in room... More

I have actually stayed here on 2 separate occasions. The first was when I arrived in the country November 2011. Was very excited until I got there. The rooms were so small and covered in other people's crap that we couldn't even fit our suitcases in. Decided in a fit of panic to upgrade to a private double. Small and... More
