This hostel was disgusting. My friends and I were not expecting luxury but this place was unbearable. On arrival we were told to put all of our belongings into garbage bags because the rooms were about to be exterminated. There are NO WINDOWS throughout the entire building and it is stinking hot. Every backpacker I met there expressed their dislike... More

Good location, average price, awful cleanliness. Kitchen needs more equipment and facilities are very limited. No air conditioning. Staff are alright, except for the little cleaning nazi who seems to spend his time trying to command people about, being as obnoxious and sarcastic as possible and mumbling within earshot that he's "sick of dealing with [--] idiots", i.e. the paying...

Really noisy and absolutely FILTHY. When I asked if I could just stay the one night and cancel the rest due to the disgusting conditions I was told absolutely no chance and that I must be unhappy because I wasn't familiar with hostels. At about 5am and still with no chance of sleep I left and went to King St... More

I have live in Melbourne Connection now for 4 months now, and I love it! I picked it because it was directly across the road from work, and it was cheep. It happens to be smack bang in the centre of town, perfect for seeing Melbourne, everything is on its door and if its not your next to trams and... More

Melbourne Connection Traveller's Hostel is small but quaint and located really close to Southern Cross so I didn't have to carry my bags far. The people staying there are really friendly- I'm travelling on my own and at bigger hostels you don't make friends so easily, but here everyone socialises and includes new people into the group. I met so... More

Looking at other reviews i wonder if they stayed at the same hostel as me!!?? Admittedly some nights are really lively so if you're looking for a quiet nights sleep then this isnt perhaps the hostel for you. But hey, its a travellers hostel, what do you expect?? Because of its small size its really friendly and almost family like... More

i came to australia with next to no money and a job that i had, that turned out to be not a job at all. I had chosen Melbourne connection from the lonely planet guide it said it had a warm and small atmosphere not like the bigger manufacture ones. I was pretty depressed slowly running out of money, if... More

This is the worst hostel I have ever stayed in my life. We were in the room next door to the tv room which was noisy enough but you kind of expect it to be noisy in hostels, what you don't expect are pipes that run through the room which are so loud you can't sleep and can hear the... More

The only good thing about this place is the location close to the city center. Kitchens were small and they were always dirty. Bathrooms, also dirty, with shower and toilet in the same room. Dorms were extremely noisy, impossible to sleep. It was almost a cave with really small windows. It is cheap, but it should be even cheaper for... More
