Really lovely to stay at the Vic— I'd say better to stay here only if you intend to for longer than a week. Felt like as soon as we started to make connections and break into the scene with the long-term residents there, it was time to go! Which was sad...so give yourself some more time here if you can, it's good people! Rad neighborhood, great food and queer scene in Brunswick. Staff here are kind and helpful, such a community scene that we were grateful to enter for a brief time.

We really enjoyed our stay. Chilling vibes, nice staff and many things you can enjoy around the hostel. The Pub underneath is good bonus 👌 🍻

It’s located on the second floor of a bar. The minimum stay is five days, so there isn’t too much turnover, making it more relaxed than hostels in the CBD. The neighborhood of Brunswick has a nice local vibe, and it’s fun to explore. There’s a free BBQ every Sunday. The staff are friendly, and the place feels comfortable — I’ve even extended my stay. バーの2階にあります。最低宿泊は5日なので、人が入れ替わり過ぎることがなく、CBD内のホステル...

It was a great place with a great atmosphere and the best staff. Unfortunately the cleanliness of the kitchen could be better. But overall it is a great place for backpackers and the best staff.

The Vic is class, the staff are great and it’s so well equipped. It’s in a brilliant area and has a very nice community feel to it, can’t recommend enough

The Victoria Hotel in Brunswick has been for me the place to call "home" for my first period in Australia, as I arrived alone in this new Country and I had everything to learn and discover. This place welcomed me and took care of me for a very long time, probably still is. It became fast a safe space full of new friends, like a family of lost wanderer all there to support each other in this crazy Australian adventure :) Every experience is subjective, but still I really hope many many more peopl...

The hostel has a very cozy feel to it, but unfortunately a lot of the guests had been there a long time and were far too comfortable, so the place was very messy, a little clique and they would sleep in common rooms during the day, make lots of noise in the bedroom at night. if youre under 23 and british will be fun, if youre not prepared to live like a student you wont enjoy. Although it was very messy, the bathrooms were clean and the the recepotion staff were very friendly.

Really social Hostel, family vibes, you quickly get to know people. since not too big it never feels super busy and loud either. My mattress tho was probably the worst I've had in all of AUS and the beds aren't the sturdiest either, so prepare for a ride on the top bunk when bottom bunk people move.😂 if it wasn't for the beds I would have given it much higher rating tho.

Best hostel I’ve stayed in so far!! Originally wanted to only stay for 2 weeks but extended for 2 months. The vibes and social life in this hostel can’t be matched. Because of its smaller size it’s basically like a big house share where everyone knows each other. Staff is amazing as well, super welcoming and helpful. The Vic feels like a home away from home

Brilliant hostel! I was very warmly welcomed by Laura en Reggie when i arrived a little earlier than check-in And was just as welcomed by everyone who was staying there! The place felt very homely and comfortable and everyone did their part to keep it that way Will definitely be coming back when i get to Melbourne!

Great vibe! The guests and hosts are all great, it feels like a big house, home away from home! Good for long stays, and short, plus close to everything you need! Tram for going to town, shops, cafes, bars, it's in Brunswick so very chill trendy area! Highly recommend the experience, plus, there's a bar downstairs, free BBQ every Sunday currently, it's great in every way!
