Excellent hostel overall. Kind and professional (volunteer) staff. Ideally located between CBD and Fitzroy/Collingwood. Gorgeous and spacious mansion. Clean, comfortable, great courtyard, nice kitchen common room, the tv room… everything is right I’d go back whenever back to Melbourne

Hostel was oke. Dichtbij de tram en centrum. Het was een oud gebouw en de kamers heel klein en benauwd. Weinig plek om je spullen fijn op te bergen. Beneden was een plek waar je chill kon relaxen. Keuken was wat aan de kleine kant maar prima te doen

The dorm had no air conditioning. It was the worst night of my trip in Australia because of the heat in the room. There were two fans, one of which didn’t work. The lights didn’t work either. There were belongings everywhere, impossible to store your things properly, there’s just no space. The kitchen is tiny: 8 stovetops for the entire hostel… 3 showers and 2 toilets for the whole floor. Nothing was right. I don’t understand how this hostel managed to get more than 9 stars on Hostelwo...

Great hostel in an ideal location. The kitchen is really well facilitated. The rooms were very messy with people leaving their things all over the place but that’s not the hostel’s fault.

One of the nicer hostels I’ve stayed in. There are a lot of long-term or older people so it’s not the best for solo backpackers, however I chose this for some quiet nights and it was perfect. The bathrooms and kitchen are clean and the staff are lovely.

Lovely hostel, great staff, really clean. A lot of long-term people staying which meant it was chilled out and not noisy at night - perfect if you want to sleep but perhaps not if you need a social environment as a backpacker.

Good location just out of the CBD. Lots of long term stays, but everyone was always making conversation and saying hi. Staff were really friendly, especially Ashley! Kitchen a bit on the small side, but good fridge space and common areas. Social events that aren’t focused on partying. Bunk beds a bit rickety and quite a few bed curtains seem to be missing - also a bit annoying to have to open the bottom curtain to climb up/down the ladder. But beds otherwise comfy and you get 2 pillows!

Okay-ish place to stay at, especially since the Location is Great to explore the City. But besides that the staff seemed rude and was quiet condescending towards me, the atmosphere wasnt great either and there is very little communal space to Hang out.

Absolutely loved staying at The Mansion, not sure how it would be in summer when is busier but I felt so welcomed by the awesome human at reception and the building is beautiful, spacious and full of character. There is a lot of focus on respect for others so I was able to sleep really well and also work in the dedicated desks area. the kitchen is nice although at times small but everything is well organised. bathroom were clean but I it always depends on the guest. Very central and easy!

Best hostel so far in Australia- been here 8 weeks and done NT, WA, the red centre, QLD. Just perfect and hoping remaining places in Sydney and Tassie as good.

How is this thing here available to rent? this has been an awful experience. I only stayed one night and had to go somewhere else to spend the rest of my trip. The rooms were dirty and the facilities were too small for the huge amount of people staying there. The kitchen is like literally for 5 people, so sometimes you dont even have space to have a coffee. The staff leaves AFTER 6.30 PM!!! YES!!! so everyone, literally, everyone can be invited and enter the place after that.

Friendly staff, quiet dorms, and the location was very convenient to trendy neighborhoods for cafes, shopping, and nightlife. The social atmosphere was very odd. Most of the guests were on their working holiday visa when I was there and they used the hostel for long term stay. Very cliquey and introverted crowd, sometimes standoffish. I would recommend this hostel if you just want a quiet place to work and sleep. There are better options out there if you’re on holiday and looking to make frien...

Hostel was great. Reception staff are a standout, the most caring and helpful i think out of any hostel I have stayed at. Hostel itself is clean and perfectly located both if you wanna head into the cbd or a garage party in fitzroy. Only negatives would be that it isnt the most social/party hostel if that is what you are looking for, but that is clearly advertised both here and on arrival!
