Thoroughly enjoying my current stay here! Clean facilities, ensuite bathrooms in every room and the rooms generally feel pretty spacious. Lots of social events running throughout the week so there's always plenty to do! (Party bingo, beer pong and trivia to name a few!). Free breakfast every morning is definitely a highlight - shout-out to Dominique for making delicious pancakes! 🥞 All of the staff are really friendly and chatty- Ronnie from reception is always super lovely and chatty whenever I walk past and made me feel incredibly welcome whilst checking in! ☺️ Definitely worth a stay here whether you're looking to stay short or long term ♥️

All hostels in Melbourne

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

Location was good. Close to tram line. Lots of cafes near by. I only had one interaction with staff on check in and she was friendly. There was aircon and a fan in the room which helped with comfort levels on the really hot night I was there. Size of the room was good. Seems like quite a good place for backpackers and people wanting to meet new people as there are ample spaces to interact with others (at the pool table, the lounge area, the tables scattered around the hostel).

Best hostel I’ve ever stayed in. Modern, clean, comfortable and new. They’ve been very clever in using technology (Bluetooth locks opened with an app on your phone). Great location near the Queen Victoria Markets and within the free tram zone.

Great location . Comfortable double private room. I choose this backpackers for my 18 year old daughter who was travelling alone based on previous reviews that said it was ideal for solo travellers. She was able to meet people easily and said that both the staff and the quests were super friendly and she felt very safe. The party atmosphere helped 😃
