Right next to the last free tram stop. Kitchen looked a bit small but I had no problems cooking. I was kindly put in a female 6 bed dorm when I had booked a 12 mixed bed so this was greatly appreciated. I also liked that they had desk space for working with comfortable chairs and plugs

No alcohol allowed, have to give any in at reception to store. Being on the 3rd floor with no lift. I also wasn't too keen on mixed gender showers, maybe if the doors were higher

Historic building that my great grandmother trained in to become a Salvation Army officer late 1890s. Trams nearby. Lovely gardens close by. Thank you for clearing out space in fridges/shelves by regular discarding items of vacated guests. This is seldom done in other hostels. Great staff, best I've met past 2mths travelling WA & Vic. Great lounge with Netflix. Appreciate the no alcohol regulation; keeps the place clean, safe, quiet, & friendly . Thanks for allowing a 60yo single female stay!

No grocery store close by.....maybe you could have some long life milk available for sale? Only one toilet on ground floor....

The location is perfect for visitors! There are free tram stops at the corner, easy access to a range of large grocery stores by either walking or taking the trams, and it's right next to the CBD so it's a quick tram ride or walk to many tourist sites and restaurants. The kitchen is incredibly well equipped with lots of complimentary spices and free leftover ingredients. The building has tall ceilings, good ventilation in the rooms and the shared facilities (kitchen, bathrooms, dining space) are well sized so that you never feel cramped or have to queue. Everything is fairly clean and well organized with labelled bags and boxes for guests to store their dry and refrigerated foods. I stayed for 9 days and would have been comfortable staying longer. Everyone is super friendly and respectful - highly recommend!

The internet can be a bit spotty and slow, particularly if you're on an upper floor. The bunk bed curtains are way too short to provide any privacy so most guests have to hang up clothes/towels to supplement them. You need to bring your own lock for the lockers in the dorm room. Because the building is on a main road across from a hospital, there are lots of loud traffic and regular sirens at night.

I stayed here for 3 weeks and it was my best hostel experience. I made a lot of friends here. The facility is well-maintained (relative to other hostels) and they have a few events. Best location— so close to the city yet also close to some scenic Melbourne gems.

Wifi is very finicky… Not great for someone wanting to safe on data or requiring strong internet. A little noisy from traffic outside, easy solution is earplugs which are provided. The upper showers are also sometimes cold so pick a good time. These downsides were bearable due to the superb location and service.

Great location Nice TV room

We had some issues with our flights so had to book another hotel for one night, but they said they would check us in from 8am the next day. We arrived at 8.18am and had to wait outside for one of the other hostel guests to let us in. Then we had to wait another 15 minutes inside for anyone to show up and check us in, despite me messaging them on booking .com as soon as we’d arrived. Wi-fi didn’t work on ground floor room The beds were extremely squeaky, so it would wake you up when people moved during the night

Great location, easy access with the tram and still within free tram zone. Friendly staff. Well-thought, well-organised, clean facilities. The bunk bed’s mattress was comfy, actually felt more comfy than the private room’s although the bunk bed was wobbly. Privacy curtains, pouches, and individual lamp at the bunk bed were cute and thoughtful.

Stairs were the killer, especially with the room upgrade. I had to carry my luggage to the third floor, brought it down to reception the next day for room changing and came back up to the third floor. Bathroom wasn’t in convenient distance, mixed bathroom was all the way across the hall. The female bathroom was on the second floor. The bunk bed was wobbly.

Location and cleanliness were excellent. Communication with the hostel was straightforward and they worked to accommodate my initial late check-in. It’s not a party palace - which is why I booked it.

The bunks are wobbly and squeal terribly with any sort of movement. For some reason they’re not bolted to the walls. It’s cold in winter and, to judge by the lack of air conditioning, stuffy in summer. Receptionist at check-in was a bit peculiar, though I can’t fault his efficiency.

We had a private room with shared bathrooms, the room was small with a few hangers and a well-sized Bed. We felt very comfortable and welcome in the hostel. The kitchen was very well equipped, it even had a contact-grill! The garden was nice aswell. The Staff was very welcoming! We were allowed to use the facilities all day, after check-out! There was a regular cleaning schedule. The location is awesome, right next to Fitzroy quarter und very central! We walked to the train station. Also it’s inside the free tram zone!

There was one insect in the room and the shower. I guess it is difficult to avoid that, they seemed to try hard (no food in rooms rule etc.). We felt like there could be more preparation-space in the kitchen, you kept standing in each others way. The window kept no noise out and the property is located at a big street. There could be a few touch ups, the paint comes off the walls here and there and I didn’t like that there was a mat in the downstairs shared toilet, I felt it seemed a little unhygienic.

The room is spacious and although it’s a mixed room but they only arrange same genders in the room which I feel so great. They also provide hair dryer in the bathroom. The food storage area is big and have ample space for everyone. They also work desk area for people to work/ make concalls.

The water heater broke down and the water is luke warm for showering in winter. However I have approached reception and they told me to use the bathroom on the top floor which has better hot water supply.

The staff goes above and beyond. Andrew, the night manager, is an absolute legend. He helped me take my luggage up two flights of stairs. The beds are very comfortable, and they have curtains, providing some privacy even in the dorm rooms. The kitchen is very clean, and there is plenty of room to store your food.

No lift, and some guests can be very inconsiderate. The staff does its best, but some people just don't clean up after themselves. And, the WiFi can be a bit spotty.
