Pros:

Really good location, nice sociable atmosphere and a lot of good events going on. The bar downstairs is nice too.

Cons:

It's quite an old building and some things need modernising, like the kitchen. Not too bad just some parts were a bit worn out and old

A clean, modern, and well-located hostel with good facilities, ideal for short stays in Melbourne, though it can feel bu
Pros:

The hostel is modern, clean, and well-maintained with good shared facilities. The common areas are comfortable and suitable for socialising or relaxing. The location is very convenient, with easy access to public transport and the Melbourne CBD, making it a good base for exploring the city.

Cons:

The rooms can feel a bit compact depending on occupancy, and noise levels may vary due to the number of guests. Shared facilities such as the kitchen and bathrooms can also get busy during peak times. It would be convenient if shampoo and conditioner were provided in the bathrooms, although I understand that many backpacker hostels do not typically include these amenities.

Pros:

Everything except pungent odour as soon as I entered the dorm.
Local lighting seemed to be available in the bed, but not on mine. Some explanation would have been good.

Cons:

Smell was disgusting.

Gut ausgestattete Küche und schöne Aufentaltsräume. Überall Plätze zum Sitzen, wenn man etwas Ruhe braucht. Die Zimmer sind recht gross mit Schublade unter dem Bett. Die Betten sind sehr bequem mit Vorhängen. Freundliches Personal 😊
