a nice hostel for a couple of nights. Very clean and friendly staff
Johanna, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great design of the room, really high quality for the price. Comfy bed, only issue was it was pretty noisy but that’s what you get on a Friday night. A gap filler under the door would help massively. Great location and smooth check in and out - don’t even need to speak to anyone at all.
Jayden, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great queen bed sized accomodation , clean , good sized with all the amenities. Ensuite bathroom was sufficient although the room I stayed in required the handy man to fix the wc paper holder as it couldn't hold the roll eproperly and the vent grills in the bathroom require cleaning they are full of dirt / dust and grime and while these are up high out of eyesight, it reflects poorly on the overall aesthetic I'm sure management are trying to upheld !
Craig, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A great place to stay convenient to city and surrounds - especially Queen Vic market I was pleasantly surprised with my accomodation escaping from the heat , i found myself delighted at the air conditioning , the large tv and the hotel style bed

10/10 Exceptional

Property was very clean, staff very friendly including tais and grace. They was brilliant and awesome. Bed was very comfortable, showers powerful.

8/10 Very good

Great experience!

Nicest hostel I’ve stayed in! Very clean and well managed. Would stay here again. Only downside is that the bathroom doors make a lot of noise when you open them so that would wake me up in the middle of the night since the walls to the hallway are very thin.
Kylee, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

The staff were super friendly and helpful. The premises and rooms were fairly clean and fresh. We got a great discount so the price was great for Melbourne with a family of 4. The atmosphere was friendly and full of excited back packers. The downside was the noise. We barely slept because there was a loud refrigeration type motor that kept switching on and off all night. And there was a man who was yelling somewhere nearby (it felt like underneath our window) all night at random intervals as well. Otherwise it would have been a good cheap accommodation option.
Evelyn, 1-night trip

They went out of their way to help me with a suitable non std accommodation.
Ngaio, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Tiny room, reminded me of a prison cell
Julie, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The toilet was dirty, money for value , poor small room no tea and coffee no fridge, toilet was dirty .
colin, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Bed, room, lounge is comfy. Problem is they didnt have a fan for when the temperature is warm so there's a bit of struggle there. Also its a bit noisy when other rooms shut their door specially at night. Youll hear it all from bed. Otherwise its all not too bad.
