Reviews
The staff of the hostel is great. The hostel itself is alright, but not for the price they ask. The weekly rate is 329 and when it's during busy holiday's or special events it can go up to 364 per week. These are both prices for a 12 bed dorm which are not backpacker friendly at all! It's way too expensive for what you get.Rooms: 4/5
The key card system is awful and needs replacing, your card will stop working multiple times leaving you locked out of your room and the toilets until reception fix it. The lifts and toilets are also pretty poor. To balance it out it a bit all the staff I dealt with were very friendly and helpful.
Do not stay here. 1 star is too high to describe my experience. I booked a room here for the Christmas/New Year Holidays for the 22nd of December and paid for a week. Because of the craziness involved in the Christmas Rush I could not get a train from Sydney until the next day and forgot to change the booking. I showed up and was told that I never had a booking. After some panic, I confirmed the reservation in my email. Turns out, when I didn't arrive for check in they made no attempt to contact me and simply gave my reservation to somebody else - Effectively leaving me stranded in a strange state if it wasn't for the fact that I had contacts here. Too add insult to injury, they straight up lied to me when I arrived at the reception. On the phone they told me that my money was refunded but I am yet to confirm this. In reading these other reviews however, it seems I may have dodged a bullet.
Pretty good place, clean and well maintained. Only downer is there isn't any hostel events for meeting others but there are movie rooms, pool tables etc. Met some cool people here still. Central location.Rooms: 5/5
Stayed here and paid for a full week. A few days in I was chatting to people in the hostel that apparently didn’t stay there and it’s against their policy to associate with people that aren’t from the hostel when your in the hostel. Unreasonably reception staff said I had to leave and wouldn’t refund me the days I booked. I was $200 dollars out of pocket, be very careful about staying here, they are robbing from backpackers! Also room keys never work for the rooms. All in all poor business ethics and not an enjoyable experience.
Huge hostel sleeps 500 on a prime location. Was so much better than expected! Nice ambiance, friendly and clean. Bit noisy, but they are upfront about this!Rooms: 5/5
Amazing location in Melbourne CBD, only a very short walk to two major train stations. Hostel was clean and had all facilities you could need!Rooms: 5/5
Comfortable hostel with friendly and helpful staff. Very safe and comes with linen and towels. Choose a high room to avoid street noise though it is bearable. Lost a star because only half the toilets and showers were working and would be easy work for a plumber to come and fix.
Overall good place to stay, rooms were quite quiet able to hear the trains/traffic, bring earplugs if light sleeper!. Common areas were always full of people though! Huge common fridge and cooking equipment to use, free coffee/tea all day. Able to store luggage before/after check in/check out which was great. Toilet pipe burst one day so had to use restroom on another floor, but no biggie. Location makes up for everything though! Walkability: Within short distance of tram stop in free tram zone, smack in CBD so walkable anywhere actually
Really nice backpackers. Nice staff, busy in a good way, good roommate : I hope the female shower works more properly but I'm already satisfied more than enough.
