    The bed itself in the shared dormitory was good and clean, and especially appreciate the curtains which allow for decent privacy in the shared room. The bathrooms were ok, but did seem quite worn out.

    The dorm I stayed in was long and narrow, with only one window at the very end, so it was not easy to have air circulating inside. I was lucky to be on one of the beds just next to the window, so I could feel the fresh air coming in. The toilets were clean and quite big, however, the girls' toilet on my floor had multiple showers (3 or 4), but only two WC, so it was easy to find them both busy in peak hours.

    Very cozy stay in a pod-bunk bed that gives privacy to each customer even in shared rooms. Good organization of space also for the locker and the shelf near the bed (which had a light for reading and plugs for recharging mobile phones and other electronic devices).Privacy is granted by a curtain that can close the bed and separate it from the rest of the room. Cozy atmosphere also in the shared common area, kitchen/studio area.

    Good location and nice room, but expect a lot of noise

    Walls are extremely thin all the way around. Expect lot of of noise from the street (trams, trains and party people), from the neighboring rooms, and from the pipes from above which goes through the room making it possible to hear every time someone flushes the toilet. They do provide free earplugs but of low quality.

    Nice room, good size. Clean, spacious kitchen and common area. Guest to bathroom ratio was good. Location is good, in walking distance to most sightseeing points, and close to the tram?

    price

    We had a private ensuite room. For the price we could have got a pretty swanky hotel. I overlooked that as Booking.com had a price "1 room, 2 people" but then the price ended up being per person. I shan't do that again.

    My room which was one of the private ones had a really weird funky smell im guessing from like an old building. The worst is the sound that the doors do eberytime any one opens one door the automatic locking system just slaps them really hard.

    Amazing location next to Central and city tram

    It is very good in terms of location and also has good rooms with windows, there is a kitchen with all facilities. Add breakfast for the stay because it is reasonable in terms of price

    It is quite expensive for a hostel. We also didn't get the rubbish bin cleaned for the first 4 days and had to ask for it to be done. Turns out they just hadn't given us a door handle sign but then forgot to give us one after we asked.

    I thought the location and staff were nice.

    No aircon in the dorm rooms, which normally wouldn't be a problem in Melbourne, but happened to be there on the week of pure sun, which made for uncomfortable sleeping!

    Centrally located and good sized dorm rooms, beds were super comfy, with curtains making it private which on some days when solo travelling is nice. Staff make an effort with social events to get people talking!

    Only 2 ladies toilets on the floor and 1 was clogged most of the time I was there, some of the shower doors didn't lock but luckily there wasn't a queue most of the time. The kitchen fridges were jam packed and the electricity stopped working one of the days. The communal area by the kitchen gets really noisy at night with people playing music so hard to talk/work. The lockers in the bed are annoying, you keep bumping off them and also the lock is fiddly so just didn't use it at all

    Beds are comfy, nice features like lights and curtains. Good group chat and fun events on all the time. Staff were friendly and helpful. Good facilities with a cinema room, bar in the basement but you don't hear it upstairs. Location was really good to see everything in the city and not too far from the skybus

    There was some noise and music going on until quite late (past midnight) that i could hear from my room. It didn’t bother me too much, but wouldn’t have been ideal if i had needed to get an early night.

    Amazing location!! Lots to do within walking distance. The hostel also organised lots of group activities every day so it’s perfect if you’re looking to meet people. Beds also had curtains which blocked out the light really effectively :)

    Pretty loud in the evening from Bar downstairs and street next to it. The kitchen was never really clean, too little space in the fridges, bathrooms are outdated and dirty and have no windows, the staff people was always in the kitchen occupying the space and being lou

    The Location is awesome, staff at reception was really nice, nice laundry room but also quite expensive (7.5 a load)

    The locker inside of the bed space was in an awkward position and was difficult to open. Made the bed feel a little cramped as you would sometimes hit your knee on it

    Great location, loads of activities planned, private showers/toilets, nice kitchen and work space. Met some great people, staff were friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean and was given a towel for $6 which was nice.
