    It is one of the worst places were I have stayed. It is a good place to make friends but the dont't give give you any bed sheets, the stuff (vacuums, washing machines...) are broken down many times. The cooking stuff is always dirty and the common areas are disgusting. The profesional cleaner goes only once per week. In a very first moment I sent an email to the manager because the quality is very low taking into account their price but the worst thing is that I had to leave the accomodation one day earlier because they made a mistake and I had to pay a hotel when I had to pay for the room in a first moment. They didn't recognize their mistake and they were quite very rude at that moment.

    Very clean and quiet hostel. The Melbourne Central location is super convenient, with the Victoria Market only a 2 minute walk away. The Manager is friendly and helpful. The kitchen is mostly clean and you have your own designated cupboard and fridge space. The price is reasonable at approx $144 per week. At time of writing I have a 4 person dorm room to myself and have only seen 3 other guests over the past 3 days.

    It is right in the heart of the city. Walking distance from Queen Victoria market. The evening view from the balcony is amazing. The best place to sit and chill.

    Staff asked what time we’d be arriving at the property and we informed them with plenty of notice the time which was well within reception hours. The staff member was not there and we had to wait for them to return. Very dirty. Our shared bathroom was cleaned once in our 6 night stay. It was quite frankly filthy. The shower was also tiny and not much room to wash. The room was advertised as a double or twin room and we requested a double 4 months before arrival at the point of booking. The day before our arrival we were told they do not have any double rooms on site - not sure why this was advertised. The bedroom was very hot - no aircon and we were provided a fan that was absolutely useless. The pillows were depleted and lumpy. We actually dreaded coming back to the accommodation each night and stayed out for as long as we could. This is student accommodation so filled with young people who are noisy in the evenings and inconsiderate when cleaning up after themselves in the kitchen. Having said this, there was no anti-bacterial spray available to clean up after yourself which added to the issue. There is also a kindergarten situated right next door which was noisy every morning. The students also had a bad sense of personal hygiene and in all communal areas there was a foul smell of body odour which was not pleasant. You are provided with one knife, fork, spoon, plate and bowl per person and a small locker/space in the fridge for the duration of your stay. The wifi was terrible. Very slow when working but intermittent most of the time. I find it hard to believe students manage to do their work using this. This place has also not paid our 100AUD deposit back and it’s been 3 weeks of chasing!! Receptionists are not getting back to me. Do not trust this place.

    Place is a station away from Victoria market. It’s super convenient getting to the city with the free tram. Place was clean and everyone is very considerate. The shared shower for room 103/105 has some issues with the heater so expect to wait quite a bit for the hot water. Enjoyed the stay there!

    Made a reservation on February 28th which was confirmed by e-mail. A month after, I was suddenly informed that the reservation could not be confirmed after all. Had to book much more expensive accommodation as a whole month had passed.

    Rooms were clean, but no elevators and had to carry luggage up the stairs.

    The place gave me a really comfortable rest and made my stay worth it. The people in it are so friendly, from staffs to other guests. The price is perfect as well, doesn't burn a hole in my wallet. Highly recommended for all.

    This was perfect for what we needed it was so clean from the moment we got there and the duration of the stay (3 days) The guy that runs after hours is 10/10 amazing, helped us with anything and everything we needed and if he couldn't help he seemed to find a way, it eliminated all the little stresses in between. For a cheap stay this one really surprised me and I'm glad I booked here 🤗😎

    I would have given a higher rating however, our key deposit was not refunded to us and it’s been 4-1/2 mos since our stay last May19-24, 2023. $100.00 is no small amount, just refund our money asap
