Great Hostel , very clean rooms , bathrooms and shower, the bathrooms and showers get cleaned 5 times a day which is excellent, my only gripe was the lack of privacy surrounding the beds there are no curtains to give that small bit of privacy which helps

This is one of the best hostels I stayed in Australia. I’d recommend to anyone who comes to Melbourne. The bunk beds were so comfortable and private. The washrooms were so clean. The cinema area was so so amazing. I also loved the Sunday breakfast.

Spotlessly clean. Lovely reception staff. Only drawback was the water pressure in the shower was weak. Apart from that I would definately stay there again. 4 stars.
