Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Backpacker Melbourne is clean and comfortable and is in a fantastic location. I spent 2 weeks here and didn't have any issues. The rooms have storage lockers and the kitchen had everything I needed. Free WiFi also. Everyone was friendly which made me feel very welcome here. Would recommend it.

I spent three weeks at Backpacker Melbourne and thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The room was clean, quiet and comfortable. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. I enjoyed being able to take advantage of the kitchen facilities. Location is perfect. It was genuinely somewhere where I felt at home. Would definitely recommend.

I found this being a nice and quiet place with friendly people. Clean kitchen and a tv room with foxtel :) not too much happening but great for students especially with its location being so close to both Melbourne uni and rmit.

The Melbourne Backpacker is a nice and quiet place. The room was clean and confortable. the location is perfect, close to the CBD and not far from Fitzroy, Queen victoria market or brunswick. I spend more than one month here, I really enjoy my stay. I met friendly people and had a good time.

The hostel has a perfect location and you can walk to the cbd, queen Victoria markets, lygon street and so on... It's quiet and never noisy since most people staying here are students. Everyone is super friendly though. There is free wifi, kitchen open 24/hours, tv room and pretty much the cheapest hostel to find in melbourne!

Backpacker Melbourne is a nice place situated in Carlton just on the north of the CBD. You have a lot of facilities just near the hostel. The hostel is quiet, only 20 to 30 peoples live inside. You have a big kitchen which you can use 24 hours! Futhermore you have a small tv room with FOXTEL etc...
The bad side is that the wifi is slow...like everywhere in Melbourne.

The Backpacker Melbourne is quite a nice place to stay for a really good price (for a double room 210$ pp).
The facilities (kitchen, tv room with foxtel, bathrooms) are all good.
The rooms good use a bit of dusting. But overall I enjoyed my stay.

Nice place to stay as a student on holiday. Not expensive, great location in relation to the CBD and friendly and quiet people. The hostel is kept clean with everyone doing there washing up and tidy in the kitchen but it's not the crown hotel, that being said the rooms are nice and the free wifi is a god send. It's everything one would expect from a hostel and definitely one of the best ones I've stayed at. All the residents are friendly, quiet and respectful and the owner was nice and helpful.
