Not a bad budget option
The YHA is at the budget end of the spectrum but they seem to have slipped, the prices have gone up but the facilities are not a spotless as they used to be.

Basic, economical, central accomm.
Often stay here bc of central location, economy but this time there were no towels in room, chip scraps on the floor beside bed, no spare blankets and i was cold. Not a big deal and i will continue staying here but the housekeeping needs to be better. Reception easy, expedient & friendly.

A Review
There is good and bad about this place from my experience. Overall it was pretty solid for the price. The beds were decent. The personal heater in the room and the window were appreciated. I also really liked the coffeehouse vibe they had going on downstairs. However, there were not nearly enough plugs in the room and the plugs that were available were not personal ones for each bed, so there were 4 of us rotating the plug use. It's not the worst thing, but it was a bit annoying. Also, the kitchen and fridges were always messy and the restroom never looked or smelled that great. The area around my bed also wasn't cleaned prior to my arrival. Additionally, I knew the location when I booked my stay, so I was expecting the typical CBD noise, however, what I wasn't expecting was all of the random noise that came from the building itself... there was lots of door slamming throughout the day and several days of early morning (6-7am) vacuuming(?).

The staff at the front desk were lovely & very helpful. YHA Melbourne Central is in a great part of Melb’s, a short walk to Southern Cross station. The room was not bad & had a good heater, but I was disappointed to find a yellow stain on the sheet on the lower bunk bed I slept in. The quilt inside the quilt cover was yellow stained & should be replaced. In the female bathroom on level 4 the bathroom lights above the mirror were not working which made the bathroom poorly lit. This is a safety issue & needs replacing. It is also disappointing that there is nothing in the room to hang up my clothing nor a table to put my mobile phone on. I may stay there again but in a double room. YHA Melbourne Central needs to improve a few things.

Prefect location, clean and modern hostel.
The location is excellent, 5 mins walk to southern cross station, prefect for frequent regional travelling. Hostel is within free tram zone so easy to get the CBD by tram. Fairly clean and modern. Lift available to carry suitcases upstairs. Hard to fall asleep when the person moves on the top bunk bed and the whole bed moves. Better if the bed space can be more private. Overall experience is good and will stay again

I had a pretty good hostel experience. They had a decently priced breakfast available, and the included wifi was decent. The bathrooms were also decently clean. I would go back. The only problem was that it was overpriced because of a certain pop star being in town when I stayed there.

Booked a double room at the YHA when I tried to find affordable accommodation during the Australian Open. I haven’t stayed in a YHA since the 1990s and I can’t remember why. It’s so easy. The location is fantastic - in the CBD a short walking distance to everything in the city and Southbank. The room & ensuite were clean and the bed comfortable. It is slclose by a lot of late night eateries and venues, and there are common areas for relaxing, there’s a bar and for an extra charge you can have breakfast. There is a communal kitchen. I would happily stay here again. So convenient for exploring Melbourne. Loved it.
