If price is your only concern then by all means stay. Expect no amenity. No towels, no toilet paper, loud music being played late at night and noisy guests moving around constantly. At least they could install some sharps bins so loose needles weren’t put in random places

I had a horrible stay. BED BUGS, knife threats, and in rude staff. The check in was rude and I was treated like I was an inconvenience. Later that night my roommate came in and said that some just threatened the front desk with a knife and two cop squadrons were sent in! I was terrified to leave my room. My roommate was smacking in the room and I later found out the cops didn’t arrest the guys who were threatening people with knife’s they just let them stay. Oh and Best of all, I got eaten by BED BUGS.

Liked: Cleanliness

Location is great, but the receptionist wouldn't offer you anything unless you ask: towel, cutlery, plate & cup. My room, with its window facing the fire exit area was noisy on some early mornings because of rubbish trucks picking up rubbish containers, cleaners dumping rubbish bags running up and down the fire exit stairs. I also was awakened by sound of vacuuming and shouting past midnight. Though the kitchen was clean, it had only one kitchen knife and one peeler, sometimes one plate or one bowl, no cups. I believe was bitten by bed bugs, as I have no alternative explanation for the itchy bites I got on the 1st night and was progressively getting more every night.

If you are after the cheapest room in Melbourne City, then this is the hostel for you. The single room was basic, but fine for the price. Very convenient with a tram outside on Elizabeth St. The kitchen, toilets and bathrooms were filthy, so wear shoes inside these areas.

While I knew this was a very cheap option, my stay would have been a lot better if the place wasn’t filled with cigarette smoke - the smell of cigarettes and weed was so strong in the room it woke me up, I’m an ex smoker myself so don’t have an issue with smoke, but it was so strong and there weren’t any windows to open to air it out - plus there was a guy in one of the rooms just shouting all night. Appreciate it’s a cheap option, which the room reflects that but the smoke was too much

22時を過ぎるとオートロックが作動しタッチキーで中に入るそうだが、聞かされていなくしばらく玄関前で立ち往生。部屋に窓がなく、初日は電気をつけたまま宿泊し睡眠不足。朝になると上から光がさすようにはなっているため、電気を消して寝られることが後からわかった。鍵の閉まらないシャワールームは恐怖でしかなく、友人と交代で入るしかなかった。安いから仕方ない。

Me and my friend arrived an hour early before check in and they let us put our bags in this little room in the lobby. My friend felt something was off and when we left to have lunch I read the reviews and regretted doing so as it made me extremely anxious - one review said someone was watching them sleep and all their bags had been rummaged through. After lunch I ran straight back to the hostel which was only 10min before check in now and noticed my bag had been moved and my neck pillow lying on the floor when it had been on the handle of my suitcase. I checked my bags and nothing had been touched thankfully so I thought someone probably moved it to get to a bag behind it. We were able to check in 10min early. Everyone should note THERE IS ONLY STAIRS. 3 floors no elevator. You will have to drag your heavy bags up the stairs, I was on the third floor. Room was small with a fridge, two chairs and a table, a mirror, a fan and a bunk bed. It looks very old but seemed clean enough. There was a leak in the roof that was dripping into one of the chairs and made the room smell musty. Overall, my stay wasn’t bad. Though we had some dodgy neighbours, nobody entered our room, we made sure the door was locked when we left or went to sleep. The toilets are due for a renovation but they are kept clean enough. So don’t let the bad reviews freak you out - as long as you are making sure the door is locked and taking safety measures you’ll be fine

I wasn't feeling safe all the time. My room was ok, carpet might need deep cleaning. Toilets weren't cleaned daily, I think only once during my stay (4days). Beddings were hung on the corridors, where they got quite bad smell. No air conditioner, only a fan, I was a bit hot. Fridge was a great bonus! Remember to ask for cutlery and a bowl from the desk.

Please read google reviews and don't make the same mistake that i did. Booked for two weeks, the place was a living nightmare full of dangerous people. I tried to get a refund, but i wasn't able to because of the hostel's policy.
