overall a good hostel. good location, clean bathrooms and bedroom downside: not enough space in the kitchen, especially for storing our groceries, and the pots and pans were in very poor condition. and the room I was in wasn't very bright.

Good location, but that's pretty much it. Very poor facilities. It's a pretty small hostel with crowded common areas. No lifts, so you'll have to carry your heavy luggage yourself upstairs. Almost no space in the kitchen for storage. Guests are allowed to vape inside for some reason? Doors are flimsy, and you need an app to open them, which sometimes doesn't work. No sockets next to the beds to charge devices. Wouldn't recommend, not worth your money.

Just 2 showers per male/female for a whole floor seems too little, but still I didn't see anyone shower when I went. Mattresses were good, the room itself falls apart, just like the lockers. Fine basic breakfast to get you started. Kind reception people. Its cheap and that's what you get. Nothing much to complain about for this kind of money. There is a big table in the lobby, great for meeting people, playing games and having drinks up to 4am if you like to. Sweet noisy, bring earplugs.

Very good value for money, I loved that the mattresses were long enough to fit me. Nice free breakfast, cool and respectful people and friendly staff! Will come again when I'm back in Melbs.

This hostel it great! Amazing all over, staff are fantastic and always so helpful. The location is insane and right in the middle of the city, 4 minutes away from the main train station to the airport.

Aucune ambiance dans cet hostel. Les salles de bains sont très propres. La chambre est correcte, les seuls points négatifs sont que les lits n’ont pas de prise vers chaque lit et qu’il y a pas de rideau.

Really good location, close to transport links and in the free tram zone. Staff are really good probably the best we have experienced so far. Modern clean bathrooms, the free breakfast in the morning is a really nice touch and a good way to start the day.

No se si es la mejor opción en cuanto a l calidad precio, estuve en un cuarto de 4 camas y las camas no cuentan con cortinas por lo cual lo poco de privacidad que sueles encontrar en un hostel aquí no lo vas a encontrar. Fuera de eso el personal muy amable y servicial y la ubicación muy buena

Overall a good hostel for my first ever hostel/travelling experience. The location is very central with plenty of tram access and walking distances from things to do. The rooms are quite basic but always tidy and the bathrooms were cleaned every morning with good showers. It wasn’t the most social feeling, I personally found there to be a lot of people who come and go just for one night or full termers who form their own groups but otherwise can’t fault it.
