The Melbourne vibe is captured here, as it is so close to great icons, cafes and events! I however would not want to check in/out at a peak time.

Hostel was ok, stayed two nights over the weekend, the whole time i was there the Bathrooms where not cleaned and very gross, as where toliets. I got given a towel with a stain on it as well with my bed sheet. We got a room which was right under near the outdoor area and the first night there was noise until 5:30am didn't get any sleep. the location ewas good, the rooms where big and as where the lockers to fit all your things in but apart from that i wouly not stay there again. it's just a party hostel.

Nice place to stay, near tram stop but not too long a (pleasant) walk to the city. Beds comfortable but very noisy when you or your room mates turn over in the night! Also weirdly short duvets?! I don't know if that was just me but my feet were sticking out the end and it got pretty cold at night... :-(

Good location, being a short walk from Southbank and the Southern Cross station. The building is very secure (CCTV/ need your door pass to operate the lift etc) . The room are nice and big also. Only minor annoyances were the lockers only taking very small (i.e luggage) size padlocks and the toilets/showers on my floor being closed the entire week for decorating. Though I never saw/heard any workmen.
