Ashlyn Wallace thinks…

"I really liked that they had lockers big enough for your suitcases in your rooms that you could lock with a padlock. It was quite clean and had a lovely big kitchen which you could cook and talk with…"

Liked: Good location, friendly staff and nice bar! Rooms were really nice and modern, bonus to have satellite telly when you just want to chill! Bathrooms were always clean as was the kitchen area. Good safety measures in place. Overall a fab stay that has far outshone other hostels in Australia!!

Disliked: Given that we stayed for just under a week would have been nice to have our bin emptied at least once! There were tons of cleaners around all the time so was surprised this never happened.

Liked: Central to the city, clean amenities and good facilities, very big kitchen, 6 bed dorm room was good. Each bed has a locker big enough for a large backpack or suitcase.

Disliked: Did not meet one nice staff member there, all that we talked to were unfriendly and unhelpful. There is little information available to backpackers about what to do in Melbourne, there's the odd brochure here and there. My friend put her bags in my locker as we didn't have much stuff and then left clothes and other personal items on the bed. When the cleaners cleaned the room, they stripped her bed and put new sheets and blankets in the locker and took all of her belongings as they assumed she had checked out because there was nothing in her locker :S. When we went to the front desk to ask where her belongings were they had no Idea where they were and couldn't contact any of the cleaners. They didn't really want to look for it anywhere and did not seem at all the least bit interested in helping her find her belongings. It 24 hrs for them to find her belongings after numerous complaints and phone calls to their house keeping department to find the items the cleaners had taken. Very poor communication between departments and very poor customer service.

Liked: Stayed there for the one night when going to see a concert up the road. The staff were terrific and took time to answer all my questions. The room was terrific for a shared dorm. Was a large room, everything was supplied and there was even a locker beside my bed. Will definitely stay again in the future. Surprised how great everything was for it's price. Recommend it as a first choice for staying in Melbourne on a budget. Also it's great to be in a busy hostel, it's all about the people anyway

Disliked: I could have spent more time there. I literally just went there and slept, but I got what I payed for

Liked: i liked the lay out of the rooms but i had a vent pumping out cold air right next to the bunk so that was pretty unpleasant. good location.

Disliked: wasnt wowed with the staff and i was forced to pay for a bed we dint use even tho i had spoken to someone prior about us not needing it now. thems the breaks but i was VERY VERY unhappy when they tried to cheat me and not give me the room key and they toyed with the idea of putting someon in that room with us even tho they forced me to pay for hte bed. NOT happy about them making double off one bed!! dodgy! wouldnt stay again to b honest.. put me right off.
