Flinders Backpackers Melbourne

Reviewing as a solo traveller. I stayed there for a week in a 4 beds females room. Pros -reasonable price. -great location. its in like the central of the city. close to trams, flinders train station, woolworth, coles, etc. -friendly and helpful staffs. -no bedbugs. what a relief. i was super scared there were gonna be. -my room was small but the bed and smell were quite ok. didn’t smell bad inside. comfy and wasn’t cold during nights. the cleaners would come clean the room on every mondays. Cons -slow lifts. -free wifi is sometimes slow around common areas. -always hear ppl talking loudly in french and spanish when they played pool. -a bit messy kitchen bc ppl are always cooking their whatever white ppls food. idk. -thin walls. you will always hear someone closing doors or talking in the hallway or outside of the building on friday nights. -free hair dyer is only on 11th floor bathroom, i had to go upstairs every morning. annoying. -a little hard to control water temperature when showering. it got too cold or too hot, no in between. -white girls use bathrooms and toilets like SUPER gross. i have no other words. they didn’t flush. there’s a chance lucky you will see poopie floating like ~peacefully~. they threw toilet papers on the floor after using. some didn’t care to fold their sanitary pads. also didn’t care to sweep hair into drains after showering. Best and cleanest time to take a shower is around 9.00 am bc the cleaners would come clean the bathrooms around that time on every single days which was nice, otherwise i wouldn’t be able to stay. No free breakfasts but i’m ok with that. Best thing was that i had nice and friendly roommates that were always quiet and respectful to each other. its like heaven for an introvert. I had a pleasant stay bc of them although it was just a week. Amy, Brooke, Alex, whatever ur all doing, i wish you the best of luck. -Kat

Too much noise from their bar until now, 4pm, they don't control the time and still play very loud music. They don't care the quality of guests' sleep. Even any hotel in other cities, their Friday and Saturday night's events always finish about 2am. Very bad. Their beds are not clean, I can feel the bed bugs bite my wife and me. Their toilets can't flush. Not well at all.
