Clean room, bathrooms cleaned regularly throughout the day, basic gym but a nice extra for a hostel, rooftop space has a grey view of the city and a good place to relax.
Very courteous staff and willing to answer all sorts of questions. Cleaning staff do a wonderful job, often cleaning up the mess made by the clients!!
Didn't like people smoking on the kitchen deck.
Rather expensive but seems thats the way of the world right now. Great location.
Was curious about the lack of compostable bins.
All in all I felt safe and taken well care of.

Good fit for purpose accommodation and friendly staff
Great overnight stay and free breaky (Sundays) was a bonus. Lovely staff. The heaters are some what noisy but not enough to keep you up at night and they heated the rooms well. Very convenient location
It is a great place to stay. Clean and Well-equipped. I will stay there again.

Really clean and good rooms. Staff friendly. Good location within walking distance of lots of attractions. On main road so can be noisy at night but doesn’t take away from a great place to stay

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Good kitchen facilities.
Best brekky free on Sunday.
Friendly attentive employees.
Loved this hotel/ hostel. Clean, safe, well kept, convenient area. Everyone was lovely. I would absolutely stay again! It was my first time ever staying in a hostel. Pleasant experience
Great Hostel , very clean rooms , bathrooms and shower, the bathrooms and showers get cleaned 5 times a day which is excellent, my only gripe was the lack of privacy surrounding the beds there are no curtains to give that small bit of privacy which helps
This is one of the best hostels I stayed in Australia. I’d recommend to anyone who comes to Melbourne. The bunk beds were so comfortable and private. The washrooms were so clean. The cinema area was so so amazing. I also loved the Sunday breakfast.
Very convenient location, right next to Chinatown so there is amazing food right around the corner! Facilities were good - kitchen and rooftop shared space to relax and meet new people. We stayed in a single room with private bathroom, very nice, with private balcony. It was really great!
Great operation. Lots of facilities. Lots of bathrooms on each floor, very large kitchen, quite clean. Rooftop area is lovely. I will recommend to friends and family. 🙏
We booked a room with private bathroom and balcony - amazing view of city skyline, extremely convenient location, and super-good facilities - enormous kitchen with everything you need, laundry fantastic. Peaceful rooftop area. Loved it.
Modern, secure and relatively clean property. Nice roof top area and spa, clean and well stocked kitchen. Bath towels included, charging port and light by the bed. All in all great property and would stay again, especially for the price point. Dorm room floor cleaning could happen more often in my opinion and the wifi wasnt always the greatest, but those were the only cons
Overall stay was fine. Nothing was over the top amazing, but also everything met my expectations. Rooms and bathrooms were clean. Wifi was slow at times. Barely used any other facilities or participated in any events, just used it as a place to sleep. Was a little loud on Friday night, but expected since it was the weekend.
