Toilet run out of toilet paper in the evening. There two occasions staff debit from my account at reception after I requested to pay at the counter with cash had to request a refund

    Very noisy all the time, nothing was cleaned regularly, by the end of our stay the bathroom would have been cleaned 10 days prior if I believe the board that said who cleaned last.

    Great location and friendly staff.

    You will be assigned bunk beds and not be able to choose freely. The free voucher for the downstairs bar said you could use it after 5pm, but when you went over in the evening, the waiter said you had to use it before 7pm. It didn't say this when it was given to me

    Tall girl with short hair waitress is very nice, packages can be stored here.

    Just one hanger in the toilet, maybe you should have more. And the bed E does not have a locker, which is so inconvenient

    Clean, the beddings and pillows are so white and clean, no stain or dirtiness. Each room has a toilet, and the toilet is clean too

    A surcharge of approximately $5 when booking a bed. Red wine overcharged by $2 more than advertised during happy hour when asking for the house wine. A smell of a toilet when in kitchen level 3. One other person in room 320 always coughing earl and late hours of the night.

    Room close to the kitchen. Gym access.

    Everything was a bit dirty in my opinion. For example, in the kitchen, there were many flies because I think someone forgot their food there or so and some people did not properly wash the pots after using them so there was, for example, still a layer of dried rice in them. Also our room and the bathroom had a weird smell for some reason which was still there the next day. The shower curtain was quite dirty and already had holes. It would've also been nice to have a bin in the bathroom. And the locker room for the baggage storage had a really strong bad smell to it, it seemed like it hadn't been cleaned for a long time.

    Big lounge, very social atmosphere and free welcome drink. Very central location and super friendly staff! We could also store our luggage for free before checking in and after checking out which was great. There was also a big kitchen and eating area. Our room had a window and AC. Also, every bed had its own charging sockets and a light.

    I have never waited for check-in for so long. I don't know what the capacity is, but that little reception is not going to cover that amount of people. We are talking about more than 45 minutes of waiting time in the queue. Also, it was quite funny always see people waiting for an elevator in queues. It's also a bit of a party hostel so get ready for that.

    It's a huge hostel, you can meet a lot of new people and the kitchens are quite spacious also, great location in the north edge of Melbourne CBD.

    Little untidy. But I guess that happens when you share rooms with others.

    Location was great. Great atmosphere.
