Super clean, super nice hostel. Almost distracts from the rats eating all my granola bars

overall a pretty good hostel, kitchen is good, everything is clean, bed wasn't too bad. I've seen reviews about having lots of long term residents but I still found everyone to be really social and friendly. Only negative was it can get slightly noisy as it's in the CBD especially on weekends but honestly I had earplugs in and majority of the time it never bothered me. Good pub downstairs too. I've stayed in a few in Melbourne and Exford is differently one of the best especially for the price.

The common room area is full of huge cokroaches and mice. I also saw a mouse in my room (i've posted a video this on my google review). The hostel has no room to store your bags, so if you need to leave them anywhere you just have to leave them unsecured in the common room. The hostel is very noisy at night due to the pub downstairs. It also has no air-con, so gets really hot on warm days. There's no elevator, so I had to drag my luggage up and down 4 flights of stairs. And the wifi is terrible.

Sociable hostel in a good location but the kitchen, lounge and laundry room being in the basement while the room was on the 3rd floor with no lift was annoying. No AC in the room which meant sometimes having to sleep with the window open which was directly above a loud smoking area

If you want a bar, this is the perfect hostel for you. But the internet sucks, the beds suck, there is no air conditioning, the water temperature is perfect for 5 seconds and then you get scalded if someone in another bathroom turns the water off. The location is good, close to a tram station but besides that? Only stay here if you want to stay at somewhere where there’s a bar right bellow you. If you’re looking for anything else, do not stay here.

Unsere erste Begegnung in unserem Zimmer war mit einer Kakerlake. Und das beschreibt unseren Aufenthalt in dem Hostel ganz gut. Die gesamte Unterkunft ist brüchig. Überall sind Löcher in den Wänden und an der Decke, der Putz blättert ab und die generelle Sauberkeit lässt zu wünschen übrig. In der Küche ist kein einziges Fach für Lebensmittel frei und der Bereich zum essen ist relativ klein. Dennoch gibt es viele Kochplatten und einen sehr großen Kühlraum. Die Lage ist nahezu perfekt.

The Exford was fantastic is most every way. After a long day of travel, my partner and I were initially a little intimidated by the noise of Melbourne CBD and the Exford Bar. However, the staff was very helpful in getting us set up and as soon as we went upstairs to the hostel area we could hear essentially nothing. All the facilities were very clean, although the kitchen and restrooms were closed at somewhat inconvenient times. We had an awesome experience at the Exford Hotel.

楼下就是酒吧,到凌晨都会很吵,但是我有戴耳塞习惯所以还好。位置超级好,而且很便宜。卫生不好,淋浴设施也不好。没有电梯。没有什么公共区域。过渡一两天还是可以的。

The location is amazing and the old building looks cool but the common room is in the basement where there are no windows and it has a weird chemical smell and you have to walk like six stairs to your room.

Had a nice time there, noisy at night because of the bar but except that it’s valuable for the price !

Bed was small and the longterm stays definitely made the room musty. Overall an okay place, not for the price though.
