Pretty good, especially loved the events on the schedule like the Pub Crawl!!
Pros:

Bed was nice, so was the kitchen space and the cinema room.

Cons:

Toilets could’ve been a little cleaner but my biggest nitpick is that the lockers above the bed don’t hold open so it’s very difficult to put anything big in. I was on a top bunk so I couldn’t leave stuff on the floor so the locker was the only option but it was very difficult to use since it wouldn’t stay open.

Pros:

close to town, ideal for fed square or mcg, walking distance to everything. bed was firm, but room was clean and had everything we needed. Bathrooms are shared, but once you are in the bathroom you can lock the door and you have toilet, basin and shower to yourself, so no big deal. Multiple bathrooms available so never had to wait.

Good location but bit noisy
Pros:

The staff was very helpful and made our stay better. It’s very close to everything in Melbourne CBD and flinders station.
They make it quite easy to meet new people and try to get us in touch.
Breakfast surprised us, it is in a restaurant next to the hotel, bad was really good.

Cons:

It was old so we could hear a lot of noise from the outside even though we were in the third floor.
It could have been cleaner also.
The bathroom was very small
