Melbourne Hostellit

Plussat: The overall vibe and people made me feel like I was part of something bigger than myself.

Miinukset: Some of the rooms don’t have windows, so the air inside can get a little heavy, but other than that, everything was perfect.

Plussat: Erinomainen sijainti! Henkilökunta oli rentoa ja hostellin alakerrassa on menevä nuorisobaari.

Miinukset: Yleisten tilojen siisteyttä voisi parantaa, erityisesti vessojen. Muista huolehtia omista tavaroista etteivät lähde kävelemään!

Plussat: Super clean! Excellent value of money! Staff really nice!

Plussat: Clean and friendly staff

Miinukset: Snoring war in my room

Plussat: The hostel is well located, very convenient to buy something, even lately. The staff is very kindly

Miinukset: Nothing special

Plussat: The staff name Angela really friendly and the room clean.

Miinukset: The other person in the room snore to loud

Plussat: The location is excellent close to all. The staff are friendly and smart.

Miinukset: No proper lock up locker even if we pay. Please provide good decent locker even if it cost a bit.

Plussat: There's so much to love! Great location, great price, comfy rooms, clear signage, and super nice staff. I love the interior design as well as the odd assortment of house items which the keycards to the locker room are attached to. I'll never forget explaining myself to a fellow guest who asked why I was carrying around a toilet brush.

Miinukset: There wasn't a hair dryer available in the bathrooms and nor was there any orange juice available at breakfast time. There's always a beeping noise coming from all of the doors and I suspect one or two of them have even malfunctioned. The beeping was incessant both on Level 2 and in the underground lounge.

Plussat: Clean, comfortable

Miinukset: A bit noisy

Plussat: - clean - free, very diverse breakfast (cereal, pancake, toast, milk, coffee, tea,..) - awesome location, it doesn't get more central - communal space (kitchen & lounge) are very inviting

Miinukset: - no luggage storage room (you have to store your bags in the communal area where everyone can access it) - staff a bit rude during checking but nice later on

Miinukset: You should get toasters as well as sandwich makers

Plussat: Friendliness and positive customer service attitude of reception staff. Very clean room and facilities.

Miinukset: The only issue for me was the noise of voices that travels from the common areas up the cavity of building into the rooms. I try to carry ear plugs and used them, which successfully cut the noise down to very quiet and enabled a good night's sleep.

Plussat: Rob helped me to check in at night. It was very nice of him to arrange it especially i arrived by 1am.

Miinukset: I only stayed for 8 hours(1am to 10am) and i politely ask for a late check out because i was not able to get a complete rest. The guy on reception on 21/6 morning didnt help me with late check out. The only reason why i was there was because princess highway was on construction and i couldnt go home. I just needed more sleep because i was tired from work. Maybe it’s not the rule maybe it’s the delivery od words. The guy must be lucky to have a job during corona crisis.

Plussat: Location excellent, easy to access tram system. Atmosphere in hostel friendly and staff helpful

Miinukset: Read lots of reviews before booking and no one mentioned how incredibly noisy the rooms at the front of the hostel are. Impossible to sleep with trams thundering past all night long. In addition the room was quite cold and the heater didn’t work properly. Reception came and managed to get it working but after it had been on 2 hours there’s a safety feature which switches it off. Couldn’t get it started again and doona was really thin.

Plussat: The staff were very friendly and helpful. Our private room was clean & tidy with comfy bed and clean bathroom. We had everything we need (tv, wifi connection, soap, clean towels, extra blanket, tea & coffee).

Miinukset: The shower door didn’t shut properly. I tried to close (push) it couple times but didn’t work. Hopefully it’d be fixed.

Plussat: The location is perfect! Thank you for this welcome. Everything was very good ;-)

Plussat: Good service

Plussat: Overall we had an enjoyable stay, room was a bit small, was presented neat and tidy upon arrival, staff were brilliant in helping any way they could

Miinukset: Being woken up at 3;30am due to paddy the Irish experienceing a night out on the turps

Plussat: Was an excellent stay friendly staff and chilled out atmosphere. Very clean rooms and facilities.

Plussat: Great location, great place, great staff if you haven't stayed at base backpacker's st Kilda you need to book it in and remember the name

Plussat: A lot of fun, great place to meet people, surprisingly good food and great location.

Miinukset: No extra bathroom facilities to use other than your en-suite.

Plussat: The room was clean and quiet maybe not a lot of space for that many people but it was ok for few nights. The stuff was very nice and helpful. Bathroom was big and clean. It's close to the center and when you need s bus to the airport bus stop is just in front of the hostel

Miinukset: The magnetic cards to enter to the rooms and to the elevator!!! They should renovate it or change it cuz you can spend 20 min in the elevator trying to turn it on. Party downstairs - you don't hear it in the rooms, only when you enter to the hostel is a little bit unconvenient At least in my room the wifi wasn't good actually there was no internet connection in my room.

Plussat: Good

Miinukset: For young people only....

Plussat: the bar down stairs and the ability to come and go at any hour of the day

Miinukset: this is not a complaint box

Plussat: Location was great.

Miinukset: Bathrooms could be cleaner, mould in shower as an example.

Plussat: The staff were great and the convenience was terrific.

Miinukset: The room was pungent. 5 long term residents with no concern for ventilation. I could not stay in the room. It stank terribly and I grew up with a brother so are used to bad men smells but this was unbearable.

Plussat: Good location, close to the tram, giving you access to Melbourne just outside the door

Miinukset: bunkbeds weren't the best.

Plussat: Location was great and cheap food from the bar. Staff nice & friendly and a friendly bar with a good vibe. I'd stay here again.

Miinukset: No outside toilet or shower so only one between 8 of us in the room. Kitchen facilities only on the ground floor. Also it's the 1st place I've ever stayed at where I've had to pay to leave my luggage after I've checked out! Despite this I did like the hostel and would stay here again...

Plussat: Felt safe and secure, easy access to tram network.

Plussat: early check -in was a blessing after red eye flight in from perth - albeit, the guy at reception did not want to have a bar but the another lady whom showed us where to stow luggage said there was a room we could book into early!!

Miinukset: the communal areas are very busy and the carpet is looking a bit worn.

Plussat: Sijainti hyvä jos haluaa majoittua keskustassa.

Miinukset: Aivan liian pieni keittiö niin suurelle ihmismäärälle.

Plussat: Cool backpackers....good clean and friendly....good location...really satisfying ....no problems

Miinukset: No sitting room really...that's all....

Plussat: - free luggage storage - nice size rooms with big lockers - comfy beds - relatively clean - central location, close to Skybus

Miinukset: - noise from the train (could be worse though) - too little pancakes for breakfast (appereantly you were only allowed two little ones) - TV room & kitchen close at 10 - not a fan of the Goki app... - more showers/toilets would be great - kitchen a bit small and not enough cutlery and cups

Plussat: Mukava henkilökunta.

Miinukset: Meluisa, ei hyvä nukkua. Huoneessa ei ollut ilmastointia ja siellä haisi pahalle vaikka pidimme ikkunaa auki. Vain iso kattovalo 10hlö huoneessa. Peittoni varastettiin viimeisenä iltanani. Ruoansäilytys ja ruokailutilat ahtaat.

Plussat: The location is very amazing, it takes a few minutes from Southern Cross Station to the hostel and from the hostel to the Flinders Station, the convenient store 7/11 next door, the tram and some historic and modern buildings nearby will be easy to explore. You can make friends with many people from all nations. The pantry is really great and helpful.

Miinukset: If your room is near the main street, you can be waken up by the noise of the Skytrain, and the power socket in a room is not really convenient and enough for all members in this room.

Plussat: Extended tv room hours in the night and earlier opening hours in the morning. The friendliest of most of the staff. The location.

Miinukset: Bugs on the shower walls and the music they played in the halls during the day was always way too loud. The walls are so thin so you can hear it like it was playing in your room.

Plussat: location

Miinukset: noisy. and inconvenient facilities.

Plussat: Very good location!

Miinukset: a bit too noizy.

Plussat: 3. kerroksen 10 hlö dormi oli viihtyisä

Miinukset: 2. Kerroksessa on tungosta suihkuihin. Meluisa huone junaradan puolella.

Plussat: Amazing staff, great location and surprisingly clean rooms. I would definitely stay there again

Miinukset: It was loud during the nights because of the trains next to the hostel

Miinukset: I had two mice in my room for two days, the hole was filled and I still heard them in the room rummaging around in bags. There also was a limited amount of showers and no wifi in rooms unless you paid extra.

Plussat: Mukava henkilökunta

Miinukset: Suihkutilat hieman epäsiistit. Aamupala huono, tarjolla pelkkiä pannukakkuja joka päivä.

Plussat: the value of money, It's so cheap and good place to stay like backpacker. I love to see all backpacker from around the world.

Miinukset: nothing for the backpacker hotel. They're good in my opinion

Plussat: Great location and very helpful staff during our stay

Miinukset: We stayed with 3 girls 2 out of the 3 beds were quite uncomfortable to sleep on...

Plussat: Price/vacancies

Plussat: close location to the sporting fields and casino. I was there for the afl grand final.

Miinukset: The traffic noise was worst. I felt like I was sleeping in a bus shelter and I was on the 3rd floor. Double glazing would make things alot quieter.

Plussat: perfect. Bed and shower was all I needed, so it provided those well.

Miinukset: Ilmapiiri ei ollut erityinen. Hostellissa vierailijat olivat tavallista enemmän vain omissa oloissaan ja kaveriporukoissaan. Hostellissa oli hiiriä.

Miinukset: Filthy place needs a serious clean and refurb most showers knackered windows falling apart the place stinks,bedding doesnt look or smell clean

Plussat: Nice rooftop

Miinukset: The mouse/rat in the room

Plussat: The service offered by staff at the reception both at check-in and check-out was helpful.

Plussat: The women were nice, wish I could've stayed longer.

Miinukset: The kitchen.

Miinukset: I can smell in my room (next to my bed) thay we're smoking pot ( cannabis smoking) Dirty and smells bad. I did want to stay 2nd night. I pay for 2 nights but ended up stay only 1 night. Not enough spoon to use in the kitchen. No mug to use. Dirty kitchen. As soon as I walk in the hostel, I smells bed.

Plussat: Nothing of positive

Miinukset: The hotel is a hostel. It was dirty and so I go away before that I finish the holiday.

Plussat: The staff was the best! The place is cool and in a central location.

Miinukset: The only negative was that we had to join 2 single beds! Uncomfortable...

Plussat: Good location. One of a male staff working over night is pretty friendly.

Miinukset: The management was poor and wish you could promote it. The wrong room in the first day and staff promised to change my room next day but failed. The bed sheet was wrongly renewed and took by others

Plussat: The staff were good

Miinukset: Getting hammered by emails asking me to rate the villsge all the time. I hope that by going that I can finally get rid of them.

Plussat: The place is modern and clean, large kitchens, great seating areas. The staff are super friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: Quite a noisy place with a lot of night time disturbances that interrupt sleep. The number of bathrooms is too little for the capacity of the hostel. I saw a rat in my room which ate a hole in my bread.

Plussat: Common spaces

Miinukset: I miss Sebastian

Plussat: location , bed, people

Miinukset: toilets

Plussat: The bar

Miinukset: People that were not clients, sleeping in the sofas of the common areas

Plussat: Place is good..

Miinukset: Jack was good with people.

Plussat: Breakfast in the morning was awesome

Miinukset: Rooms are small and not comfortable beds.

Plussat: On check in we were allowed to check in earlier which was good for us arriving early in the morning and we did need to unfortunately extend the stay and this was done easily at the reception.

Miinukset: I have never stayed in a hostel that has been so disgusting before. Firstly we were not told on check in that to use the kitchen we would need to rent plates and cutlery from them and by the time we came to making dinner reception was closed making this impossible and forcing us to have to spend money eating out. Apparently this was to reduce the mess and dishes in their TINY kitchen, however when using the kitchen the only sink was full of dirty dishes anyway. I don’t think the kitchen got cleaned once in our whole 5 day stay and at one point there was a large puddle of dish soap on the floor which people were walking through making the floor very slippery and a huge health and safety hazard. The communal area was tiny with only two sofas which usually had the long term residents sprawling across them, who clearly thought as though the hostel was their house and made it uncomfortable for anyone else being in their space. The female bathroom on second floor only had one shower out of four that actually produced any power in water and the rest were a dribble. The bathroom was also located with the not-very-frosted windows facing out onto the balcony/smoking area so when stepping out of the shower or even sitting on the toilet you can hear and even see the stoners out on the balcony. The water pipes in the bedroom made so much noise every time you turned on the tap and you could hear when everyone else turned on their taps. The wardrobe had ONE hanger so was utterly useless as a wardrobe. Both male bathrooms were closed for being cleaned at the same time meaning access to the toilet or shower was unavailable. The long term residents who had jobs woke me up every morning around 5am from their shouting in the corridor.

Plussat: Excellent location and breakfast!

Miinukset: Sound of door closing everytime

Plussat: The bar downstairs is cool and gives you a.discount

Miinukset: I didnt even stay the entire night. It's a boarding house and only suited for shoestring budget long term stays. The place was extremely dirty, extremely loud, and not even remotely welcoming. When I found other accommodations the front desk was already closed so I just dropped the key and left. Probably the second worst hostel I've ever seen

Miinukset: bathroom

Plussat: Convenient location and nice room mates, bathrooms were clean

Plussat: Chilled vibes with clean facilities

Plussat: Not alot

Miinukset: Dirty. Owner not organized. Payed for 3 beds got 2 beds

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: I made a booking, paid for it, got a confirmation email from booking.com AND the property manager days before arrival. The property manager also confirmed I was aloud to arrive whenever I like. When I got to the hostel the property manager claimed I shouldn't be there because I had not paid which made no sense. She appeared to be having a fight with her husband about her having an affair with someone at the hostel whilst yelling at me as well so she was already erratic and abusive when I got there. I had friends that stayed there so I have first hand knowledge that she steals money from her tenants/over charges people/ discriminates against women. There also was a stabbing at this address and the manager didn't care. The electricity and plumbing is never fixed according to my friends experiences also. She is an absolute psychopath, a criminal and an adulterer. If you like Tsundere (masochist cafes) then go here.

Miinukset: Everything about this place is a nightmare

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: Online and real condition are different.

Plussat: comfortable bed after cleaning it!

Miinukset: no physical welcome disgusting house that we have cleaning when we arrived. horribly dirty room, sheet that we have washed ourselves for fear of having diseases. No electricity for 2 days and 1 night (internet outage lasted 2 more days) NO free parking it's the street No safe place : one guy tried to kill another guy last night !!! how can this establishment still be accepted by booking ???
