Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Wasn't sure what to expect as the price wasn’t it was Grand Final weekend. The room was neat, the shared bathroom was tidy, for how close it in the CBD it was quiet and I felt save and comfortable. Management was excellent, allowed me to leave my bag there while ai explored the city after check out. It was an easy and fun trip. 7 11 around the corner and Kabab shop right across the road. I recommend this highly amd I will book again.

Wayy overpriced and underwhelming. This 2 bit chit hole is an apparent with locks on bedroom doors. It was not clean or safe. Save your money go elsewhere. A few more dollars will see you comfortable in your own kitchen, bathroom, living area. Total rip off!

This is a lovely hostel in Melbourne CBD. I stayed in an en-suite room and it was everything I needed. The location is super convenient. I took the airport bus into the city and it drops off just a few blocks away. The owner was on holiday but was still able to return my deposit without any issue. I would stay here again.

Overpriced hostel with bad facilities

Four rooms in one apartment. Old, only one towel for 5 days (had to buy some), no tv, no window, no cleaning, noisy. Way overpriced at $235/night. It's not worth more than no service shared facility hostel accom at about $100/night.

The room and toilet are smelly, I find it unsafe to stay there because the division in every room is not that reliable. I can even hear the two couples having s*x in the other room and the whole place seems to vibrate!

Cheap option for a single night in the city. Staff was terrible and spent the whole time on the phone while checking in. As facilities are shared they can get dirty quickly, when I checked in bathroom was clean but after another guest used it there was water and mess everywhere. Not the hotels fault but something for guests to be aware of
