Very Secure, Safe, Friendly and Clean. Kitchens are a bit small but the building is incredibly secure, to enter any floor you need to swipe your room key to gain access, Staff are very knowledgable with local information, jobs and such. They also remember you, I had numerous interviews while at this hostel and everyday when I would come back... More

I love Hostels and stayed in them for most of my 5 weeks on the east coast of OZ. This hostel is shooting for a " boutique hotel" feeling and misses it by a HUGE margin. I stayed three nights but only because it was too time consuming to move for the 2nd & 3rd nights. The lobby was small... More

For 1st timers in Australia and a solo traveller, from airport to yha, one would easily say I've found my home in Melbourne! I was also very fortunate to have friendly roomates. what I didn't like much was they recquire full payment upfront for your x number of stay with them... More

We stayed in a double room without ensuite,which was very clean. Unfortunately the heater worked more often not than it worked,in autumn not really cool (or literally too cool). After the first night and many attempts to solve the problem,we moved in another room,which was far noisier than the first one,though we were told that it wouldn't.After the first heating... More

It's a very small building. The rooms are fine. Although there is a kitchen on each floor they are tiny and only have 4 chairs. I often had to go to another floor. Common rooms have two computers and a couch and TV are again tiny. Staff were resonably helpful considering it's Melbourne. A fair walk to the mall but... More
