If you are after the cheapest room in Melbourne City, then this is the hostel for you. The single room was basic, but fine for the price. Very convenient with a tram outside on Elizabeth St. The kitchen, toilets and bathrooms were filthy, so wear shoes inside these areas.

Natasha

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
While I knew this was a very cheap option, my stay would have been a lot better if the place wasn’t filled with cigarette smoke - the smell of cigarettes and weed was so strong in the room it woke me up, I’m an ex smoker myself so don’t have an issue with smoke, but it was so strong and there weren’t any windows to open to air it out - plus there was a guy in one of the rooms just shouting all night. Appreciate it’s a cheap option, which the room reflects that but the smoke was too much

No air conditioning, no wifi, unsafe environment. Linen and towels are very old and smelly. The building is old and broken. The staffs are all very unprofessional and poor English. Only good thing about the place is walking distance to tram and queen Victoria market.

a nightmare

Please read google reviews and don't make the same mistake that i did. Booked for two weeks, the place was a living nightmare full of dangerous people. I tried to get a refund, but i wasn't able to because of the hostel's policy.

Disliked: Amenities
I wasn't feeling safe all the time. My room was ok, carpet might need deep cleaning. Toilets weren't cleaned daily, I think only once during my stay (4days). Beddings were hung on the corridors, where they got quite bad smell. No air conditioner, only a fan, I was a bit hot. Fridge was a great bonus! Remember to ask for cutlery and a bowl from the desk.

For God’s sakes read online reviews before booking, this was a mistake I made. IT IS NOT WORTH IT even if you’re pinching pennies, immediately left after one night and moved to a different hostel, and BE WARNED, NO AIRCONDTIONING or even a fan so it was hotter than hell during my stay. The window was open so you could hear all of the traffic and shouting outside.
