    Everything was good.

    It’s very clean and well looked after compared to a lot of other hostels. Their seemed to be a lot being added as well which looked exciting. I wish I could’ve stayed longer and talked to people.

    Everything about the hostel was pretty good. , comfy beds, pretty clean showers for the fact that it's a hostel. And the hangout area was great for meeting new people. Staff was lovely, especially Lara and Emily! So helpful and always in for a great chat.

    The rooms were quite dark, and I really struggled with the placement of the locker within the confines of my bed space above the bed (came away with a pretty bruised left knee from rolling over and hitting it frequently in the night!). Could have done with some more kitchen fridge space.

    The beds were super comfy, and I was very grateful for the privacy curtain and amount of plugs. The bathroom and kitchen were sufficiently spacious and very clean and everyone was lovely. The location was perfect and really well connected.

    An incredibly reasonable stay for a value rate, not much to complain about.

    During my stay in Portland, OR USA there was an incredible hostile that had beautiful wooden bunks, shared space/bathrooms. One of the things that made them so incredible was their automation and regulated rules. At X time, the lights would automatically dim then turn off (maybe around 10-11pm). This was done in order to promote a healthy "bed time" for all people in the shared space. I have to admit, this aspect would have made my experience and I'm sure many others more comfortable. We have a young couple that would be drunkenly noisy for several days in a row with the lights on around 11pm. Another small suggestion - Recommend that people apply FRAGRANCES within the restroom. People applying fragrances in a relatively small shared common space at 11pm before they go out for the night disturbs the entire smell of the room for about 30min. Makes it difficult to sleep or relax, in my opinion that is.

    Location and Value are def. the main selling point in my eyes. Shared bathrooms/showers are tough thing to manage from the business's point of view. With this in mind, I think they have done a good job at keeping it decent. The rooms, beds, and storage are fine. The reception was good, the staff was pleasant.

    The fridge is too crowded. I can't even put my lunch box in. Also, the public area in my room is full of stuff. And, I don't like the storage box, when I rolled over, I have kicked it several times.

    The location is great. I can go around Melbourne easily. The staff are friendly. I also like the public working space. And, the bathroom is clean and comfortable.

    Kitchen and shared areas are a bit too tight for the amount of rooms and are often extremely busy and loud. Shared rooms are a bit too expensive.

    The beds in shared rooms are really private with nice curtains, own plug and light and storage that can be locked. More storage is also offered under the bed. The bathrooms are clean and comfortable too. The kitchen is well equiped with space to eat and an area specifically dedicated to work. There are also "meeting pods" in that area which are a really nice idea. The location is also great, right in front of the metro station and close to all the shops and cafes

    I saw a few mice in the kitchen and the living area which is connected. I feel like it’s an infestation. Hopefully the establishment is doing something to take care of this issue. Even though there is still mice I still find the common areas to be clean… I, myself do not cook but I keep a few things in the fridge and for the facility I personally believe that two big fridges is not nearly enough at all as there are many people stocking up multiple bags with food in there.

    The mattress is super comfortable. The location is convenient. Everything is clean. The staff always tries to accommodate you in what you need. Rachel has been a big help since I have arrived here (already one month); she has been very kind and accommodating. She never hesitated to help me in any requested I had, which I truly appreciate:). The cleaning staff makes sure to leave the bathroom and all the common areas super super clean. If you extend your stay and you want your sheets to be changed, the staff at the reception helps you with that. Literally every single staff is amazingly friendly and helpful.

    I didn’t realise there was no TV for the kids, nor a fridge for keeping our drinks cool, or for milk for cuppa (and of course no kettle as a communal kitchen). This isn’t really family friendly, as with a sleeping child, I couldn’t leave the room to go to a communal kitchen and get a cuppa, nor could I go to room with tv.

    Location top notch as we needed the tram to John Cain Arena and it was literally just outside the hotel! Room was spacious and clean.

    Fridge space in the kitchen is slightly lacking - can be a mission to get food back back in!

    I have loved staying at Selina CBD whilst l work in the city and look for a more permanent home. The team are so friendly and very helpful (shout out to Rachel and Annica for being absolute gems)! The rooms are kept clean and are very safe. Communal areas are perfect for relaxing, working or FaceTiming family/friends. Kitchen has everything you could need!
