Nice facilities, perfect location, best value for money, friendly staff

Neil, Australia

I've stayed in a 4-bed room. The bed was very comfortable, the hostel was quiet, modern and clean. Staff were friendly too. The bonus is that common room is well planned and comfortable, also they have luggage storage room. The location was excellent and price for the bed is decent.

Vilius, Lithuania

The lounge and dining areas were very spacious, and the staff very friendly and helpful.

Carmel, Australia

Excelent ubication, they gave us free breakfast that was unexpected and it was a great surprise.

Alejandra, Mexico

That's the crux of Melbourne. Can't be bad.

Martin, Slovakia

Amazingly quiet at night for being so close to trams, traffic and Flinders St railway station. Courteous, helpful staff. Clean good quality linen and comfortable mattress. Problems fixed immediately e.g. broken bed light, microwave with no turntable. Good security but still theft existing. I liked the hot water urn in the kitchen for cuppas, and good sized sinks for washing up.

Kelly, Australia

Thanks for providing breakfast, clean and tidy backpackers. Enjoyed my stay

Traveller, New Zealand

free brekkie(not sure what they offer cause i didn't go); location awesome, free tram zone outside(literally only takes you 30secs to public transport, 2 mins to Flinders Station and 4mins to Yarra river, also locates next to a police station); facilities good; cleanliness in the room acceptable; bathroom excellent(always super clean and shower works well!); wifi works well on level 6(aka fast enough to make FaceTime calls while others playing games online; you can also get the wifi signal on level 4 but not as fast as upstairs, which is acceptable as the wifi is only for the public areas). STAFF AWESOME! super friendly and helpful, especially the 'morning announcement' guy(super charming, I would totally ask him out next time;D)

Xiaojie, Australia

Localization is perfect as this is walking distance from the main places in Melbourne. We went there to see the game Brazil x Argentina so again , within 15 min walking we have arrived into the MCG stadium .

Adriano, Australia

Greenhouse is always great value for money at a fantastic location. Accommodation is basic but it is mostly clean and comfortable.

눉The beds squeaked whenever we rolled over.the noise in the alleyway didn't stop until 3am. Being in an alleyway it didn't feel very safe getting to the location. Not clearly marked to get to your room we had to wander around looking.
눇Close to the train station. Easy to get around the city. Plenty of public transport. Bathroom was okay. Bit chilly in the room.

눉A bit too warm in the bedrooms. Shower temperature lukewarm both nights. Bin near over-flowing both nights in kitchen. Not enough storage space for food on shelves or in kitchen, and it is midwinter. Several powerpoints not working in dining room. No instructions for lighting gas burners (not easy). Washing machine twice as expensive $6 / 23 mins as anywhere else.
눇Amazingly quiet at night for being so close to trams, traffic and Flinders St railway station. Courteous, helpful staff. Clean good quality linen and comfortable mattress. Problems fixed immediately e.g. broken bed light, microwave with no turntable. Good security but still theft existing.
