Customer review

26 August 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: I liked the location of the hostel. The staff were helpful & friendly. There are a lot of long term guests there who are also very friendly. The lounge was lovely and warm with the open fire. The free pancakes and breakfasts were really good. The kitchen needs a few more pots and pans and forks. Would reccommend this hostel. Enjoyed my stay here. Cheaper to book through hostelbookers than direct which I thought was strange but they did honour the lower price when I added on extra nights.

Wendy Ardern

09 February 2009 Wendy would recommend this property

Liked: We stayed in the B&B. Loved our room on the ground floor opening onto courtyard. Kitchen facilities and the dining/lounge area well furnished. Breakfast was provided on first come first served basis - fresh bread and various spreads. Very close to the parts of Melbourne we wished to explore. Down side was parking, so we rapidly got rid of our hire car.

Jennifer Mofflin

04 December 2008 Jennifer would recommend this property

Liked: It was in a great location and the other backpackers were respectful of each other and pretty quiet. It does need some maintenance work done - e.g. Victoria is in a serious drought (their words) but there was a significant leak in our bathroom, I think from the heater, not the shower. The kitchen is small for the number of people.

Disliked: Jennifer left no negative feedback.
