I loved this place!! The free breaky is a great idea as it frees up unecessary fridge space with people having to buy breakfeast stuff and its free, what more could anyone want. i found the staff to be friendly and laid back - had an epic time!! Must return again soon!

Melbourne is such a great city to visit for fun and adventure and staying in a safe and close place, good value and friendly staff is really important to me when traveling alone.

This is my 2nd time staying here. I mus say - A BIG IMPROVEMENT AS COMPARED TO THE LAST TIME while I was here. I arrived very 'early' in the morning (~1.30am). The reception staff was friendly and helpful enough to assist me in the check-in. I had a problem with the key card where I attempted a few times to unlock the dorm door but failed. The reception staff (I forgot to ask for his name), again, did not hesitate to unlock the door for me. In addition, he promptly changed a new key card for me, without any sense of impatience that I could spot off. I'm truly impressed by the service. On security, he found out via CCTV that the main entrance door was not closed in the middle of the night. Very quickly, via a microphone, he ordered it to be closed. What a professional! This gives us a greater sense of security.

The dormroom that I got his time was bigger than the 1st time. There were spacious shelves for us to place our stuff, not to mention each has a personal locker too. They enforce the strict rules with notices pasted at significant spots where you would hardly miss them. For my case, it's the daylight saving. It was so vivid that I had it in my mind in seconds. Else I think I'd miss my flight!

Breakfast was simply bread and cereals. I enjoyed it though, especially the vegemite! WiFi excess was a great improvement where everyone is given a personal username & password. Kitchen and washrooms were clean, for they perform spring cleaning around the clock.

Overall, I highly recommend this hostel to everyone, be it your 1st time in the lovely city of Melbourne or novice traveller.

I stayed few months in this backpacker. Rooms are small ok but everything else is great. You have a reading light on each bed and locker for everyone. Big rooftop. So confy tv room Great staff, free wifi, free breakfast everyday and big breakfast on thursday. Free meal on tuesday and loads of more activities (footy game, pub crawl...) Excellent location (1 min from flinders station). Really safe you can even leave your laptop in the common room, nobody's gonna steal it.
