Liked: This is a brand new modern hostel with all the facilities you need and added extras including electric sockets in the lockers. Great location in the centre of Melbourne

Disliked: I think it is over priced for what you get as you have to pay for lots of extras including wifi, deposit for a kitchen set and you are not allowed to bring your own alcohol into the hostel

Liked: Space Hotel is very clean. The lockers in the room are the best that I have seen in Australia thus far. They have power supplies within the locker and they are huge in size. The people are great. They have 5 dollar pizzas available every night. The location isnt in the dead center but it is an easy walk to anywhere you want to go. This place has a good vibe and lots of backpackers in it. I highly recommend it to anyone between the ages of 18-30.

Disliked: Nothing.

Liked: Great location and excellent facilities. Good food in the bar at very reasonable prices. Reception staff were very helpful

Disliked: The bar was lacking character and the staff were not very helpful. The key card system, although is good for security gets annoying when you have to use your key to get to the bathroom

Liked: The hostel is in a pretty good location with access to the city, trams, the train station and some of the funky places to eat and shop on Lygon and Brunswick Streets.

Disliked: The airconditioning system worked well but was too loud. Not really a huge issue as we just stayed a couple of nights, but it could be annoying after a while. Also, there was no free wi-fi.

Liked: There's a very modern feel about Space Hotel. It's close to some fantastic places to eat and is only a short walk to the very centre of Melbourne CBD. Each bed has a lockable cupboard next to it, though the atmosphere is so friendly you don't really feel a need to do so. Space Hotel also offers a large variety of services available to their guests. The rooms are also amazingly quiet.

Disliked: The mattresses are quite solid which can be a bit uncomfortable.

25 January 2012 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The newly refurbished room we were in was excellent. We really appreciated the TV in our room. It was centrally located within Melbourne and within an easy walk to just everything you could want.. Having tables and chairs plus sun loungers on the outside decking was wonderful. This is a particularly good hostel for more mature travellers because sleeping areas are quiet, beds very comfortable and tea/coffee making facilties on each floor are a real bonus.

Disliked: We were really sad that the cleaning staff appeared not to have had sound training and supervision. We could see that, although the place has been very well and expensively refurbished, there are already little spots in bathrooms and bedrooms where cleaning is regularly missed (eg corners of the floor). If not attended to this will lead to a sad state of affairs.

Liked: Very close to the city, easy to walk to major attractions, and trams. Friendly and helpful staff.

Disliked: Beds in rooms were a little close, and could have been coffee and tea facilities in room, instead of having to walk down the hall to get a glass of water or get hot.
