The hostel in beautiful and very well located with walking distance from the city center but also just around the corner from brunswick street - a very vibrant and exciting street for you people. The hostel was very clean, the staff always friendly and helpful. The kitchen is a bit small but it made getting to know each other easier... More

I really liked The Nunnery - it was a beautiful old building in an awesome location in the trendy and popular Fitzroy area. Really close to all the shops, restaurants and bars on Brunswick Street. Stayed in a big dorm for one night - it was fine, nothing out of the ordinary to report about it. Bathrooms were a bit... More

I really enjoyed my stay here, so much so, that when I moved to another hostel, I returned to visit as I missed it (and some people!) It is very friendly and accommodating staff. I arrived horrifically tired ( I couldn't remember my PIN for my credit card!) so the guy at the desk whisked thru the check in process... More

We stayed in the Guesthouse part of the Nunnery for 5 nights. It was cheaper than any central hotel we could find & provided a good breakfast service. The rooms were clean, warm & had nice character features. Upstairs rooms seemed to have access to more bathrooms. I had no problems with the kitchen as other people had commented on.... More

This hostel is great! I loved it here! Its walking distance from downtown and located in cute neighbourhood. Staff goes beyond to help you out! Make sure you book in time so you can enjoy this lovely accomodation!

Stayed in a four person dorm (we'd emailed several times to check we'd all be able to all bunk in the same room, so were a bit surprised when we arrived and the staff said 'we're not fully booked tonight so might be able to get you all in together) for two nights at the Nunnery. Although it seem quite... More

The Nunnery could be a great hostel. It's located walking distance from Melbourne CBD but not in it. It's also walking distance from the Fitzroy's night life. The builiding is impressive - wide staircases, vintage furniture. The nuns must have liked it there... We stayed for 2 nights in a double room, and here's where things started to deteriorate. The...

Seeing the Nunnery online I thought that it may be slightly more religious than it was, expecting to find Christians and bibles and people praying before meals, not quite so but not far off. I am pleased that I spent just a couple more dollars per night to stay at the Nunnery instead of going to a slightly cheaper, dirtier,... More

A quieter, less raucous experience than most backpacker places. I spent one night in the Guest House (the more grown-up part of the Nunnery), in a single room, which was perfectly acceptable - basic, but clean and comfortable. It's not luxurious, and there were queues for the toilets/showers in the morning, but the price is fair, and the location is... More
