Landing Pads Brunswick in Melbourne provides adults-only accommodation with a garden, a shared lounge and a terrace. Located around 3 km from Melbourne Zoo, the hostel with free WiFi is also 5.3 km away from Melbourne Museum. The accommodation offers evening entertainment and a shared kitchen.

I loved this hostel. I personally think it was one of the best I have been. The staff was superb. Starting at check-in when Virgine showed me around nicely. Also the other staff (Redd and Ezra) are amazing people who make you feel welcome the moment you enter the hostel. Moreover, the living room and the backyard is a big hangout spot to meet new crowds and build friendships, with for me as a solo traveler is one of the most important things. I enjoyed the stay so much that I extended twice. Thank you so much!
