The 24-hour front desk assists with tours, tickets, and luggage storage. Facilities include laundry, dry cleaning, and wheelchair access. Free luggage storage is available for early check-ins and late departures. Guests under 18 must stay in private ensuite rooms.

“Here's my take: this place nails the location, smack in the CBD with transport at its doorstep. It's got a social vibe, which is a draw for younger travelers, but the private rooms offer a welcome retreat. For a budget-friendly Melbourne visit with a pulse, it seems a solid choice.”

happy stay at central spot

great locationevening activitiesfriendly staff
this location is so great because its opposite the station and close to shops. i liked they have evening activities to do, so easy to meet people. the staff is friendly, and they are helpful for everything that you need.
The kitchen needed more care with cleanliness. Some equipment was broken.
Dining
8/10
a big dining space is on the first floor, and its good to cook and meet others. there are some booths to work there, and its next to a cinema room if you want to chill out.
Facilities

there is luggage storage in the basement and paid laundry is available, very practical. the bar had events almost every day, i think.
Location
10/10
the hostel its just across from the station, so transport is easy to many places. tram stops are nearby, and its simple to access many shops. the area is great for exploring by walking or using the free trams.
Rooms
8/10
the shared room was good, and the bed was comfy. a locker is built in, i think it takes up a lot of space. the room got cleaned every day and was always orderly.
