Very sociable and easy to meet people. Rooms were comfortable enough although a little small for 6 girls and their luggage! Rooftop was a great place to hang out and there were plenty of events. Large kitchen which was always well equipped. Friendly check in staff. Was able to store luggage for 4 days while I was away from Melbourne.

I arrived very late at night and had to find the free bed and make the bed at 2am while trying not to wake up everyone in the room! It would be easier to have assigned beds (although I think this is unusual in Australia) and to have the beds made especially for late check ins.

- There is a hottub on the rooftop communal area, which has a great view during sunset - The bed in a 6 bunk room is the best I've ever had, with a comfortable mattress, nook for your personal belongings and a bedside light - Personal locker cabinet is large, able to hold a small to medium sized checked bag - Per level communal areas with lounges, chairs and tables to study or relax outside of a room - Good events offered by the facility (Tuesday Jazz Night, Wednesday Walking Tour, Friday Bar Crawl - was only two locations, should be three, Saturday BBQ party, Sunday Free DIY Pancakes)

- Communal bathrooms/toilets could have more areas to put your personal effects while using the facilities. (i.e. Platform to put clothes and belongings on) - Elevator only goes to floor 5 out of 8 which meant a lot of stair traversal in accessing the rooftop

The layout of the room. There are 4 beds in the room (2 double deck beds). However I don’t feel much disturbance from others as the toilet and bathroom is not in the room, and the beds are arranged not so close to each other. The roof garden is nice. We could have sunbathing on the sun loungers and has a nice view of the city.

The number of toilet (with bathroom) should be more. As I observed, there are only about 7 or 8 toilets and bathrooms on my floor, and they are all occupied during busy hours. It would be nice if we could check in a bit earlier (I don’t mind paying a bit more if it allows people to check in earlier (eg 12noon). It would be nicer if the stuff could recommend some good eating places around the hotel.

Stayed in 4 different hostels during my time in Melbourne and this was the best. This was also the first hostel I stayed in (and everything else went downhill) > Spoke to 3 different receptionists during my time there and they were all SO kind and welcoming. Super helpful. I arrived at 6am and couldn’t check in yet but they let me use the facilities to shower & freshen up, and stored my luggage (all for free!) > The room and bathrooms were SO CLEAN and if you felt like they weren’t, you could get them to clean it for you before you used them. > Towels, sheets, blankets, body wash are all provided for free. > They have daily events at the hostel and the bar crawl event was one of the best I attended. I made SO MANY friends from all around the world just from the one night stay I had here. > Loads of facilities in the hostel; cinema room, lounge room, laundry, etc. (I might’ve missed some) > Bathrooms and shared but private to use (not communal bathrooms) and there are about 5 showers on each floor.

Nothing at all!

This hostel is located really centrally on the outskirts of the CBD. You can walk to everything you need to see, with the furthest being 20-30 minutes. There is also the free circular tourist tram really close with a stop for that maybe 5 minutes walk from the hostel door. I was here for 5 days and found it really convenient. I stayed in the 8 bed dorm and there was lots of space and a nice big locker for all your baggage. The beds were comfy and the reception were great about giving me extra blankets when i was cold. The kitchen space is large and has lots of utensils so you can make whatever you want in more than enough space - no waiting for hobs or anything! There is also a lovely outdoor terrace looking out over the city and extra things like the movie room which was a first for me. I didn't use the wifi much or for work but it worked adequately every time I tried to connect. The vibe was super friendly from both staff and guests. I would definitely recommend and stay here again.

Can't thinking of anything. Had a very enjoyable stay!

The hostel has good facilities like a cinema room, roof top with a jacuzzi and communal area. The rooms were nice and clean and the location was great. The staff were very helpful and you can ask reception for a hairdryer which was handy.

The rooms felt a bit cramped, not much room to fit 6 lots of people and luggage. Around 6pm and onwards it is very difficult to find a free shower as there was about 6 showers and toilets per floor but they are a private room which was nice.

The whole building was absolutely stunning, and the activities were a blast, providing endless fun. I had the pleasure of forming some great friendships during my stay, which was truly memorable. However, what stood out the most was the incredible staff. They were exceptionally friendly and always ready to assist with a smile. A special shoutout goes to Theo—he's truly the man! Theo consistently went above and beyond to help, always displaying an outstanding disposition. Not only was he friendly and approachable, but he also had a great sense of humor, always up for a good laugh yet maintaining his professionalism as a true gentleman. I am immensely grateful for all the help and support I received from Theo. He became more than just a receptionist; he became a friend. His dedication and kindness made my experience truly special.

Actually, it's not that I didn't like it, but sometimes having children on the rooftop during party time made me a bit uncomfortable because we were shouting, smoking, and so on. Aside from that, everything was perfect. The cleaning was done properly as promised, but some people did leave a big mess in the bathrooms.

I originally booked 1 week but ended up extending for 2 more weeks but I could have easily stayed another 2 months as the place and the whole experience were beyond amazing! The place is super conveniently located in the heart of Melbourne, close to the main things and shops but you still get very quiet nights of sleep as the way it is designed is noise proof. The hostel is structured on 8 floors and each floor has a different free facility such as gym, cinema room, lounge, kitchen. The gym is small but has plenty of options for a good workout and the cinema room is very spacious and nice to enjoy some chill nights watching a movie. The lounge room is also very nice and the kitchen is huuuuuge with plenty of storage space for your food. Lastly, the rooftop, one of the best perks of this hostel. It offers an amazing 360 view of Melbourne and has plenty of space for sunbathing, as well as a hot tub 💪 despite the great location, structure, facilities, as well as the overall cleanliness of the whole place what was really the highlight of it all were the social vibes and the friendly staff. I met so many people from all over the world and share many nice moments with them, eating together, chilling and going out. The hostel organizes also some social activities (pub crawl, market visit...) and offers plenty of discounts and recommendations for dining and trips around Australia. On Saturday they have a free bbq and on Sunday free delicious breakfast with pancakes, cereals, toast, fruit etc... which made more some nice extra perks that I made sure of taking advantage of :) I could go on forever about how nice this hostel was but what really made the experience nice and positive was the amazing staff. Special shout-out to Maren for being the friendliest tour guide, always greeting you with a smile; Lisa for being the top bbq griller; Kathy for coping with my numerous requests for printing; Theo for giving that extra fun and social vibe, as well as the rest of the staff!

Nothing, everything was perfect and I'd love to come back eventually:)

Check in was fast and easy. The staff are friendly and helpful, and are eager to advise about things to see & do, and where to find bars, restaurants, etc. The hostel is exceptionally clean everywhere. The dorms, toilets, kitchen, lounge, gym (yes, they have a gym!), lifts, and halls are all well maintained. They are strict about noise at night, so you can sleep very peacefully. They have a range of cool features that differentiate them from the other hostels. These include: Rooftop area with a spa pool & exceptional view of the Melbourne skyline, especially at night Drinks preparation area on each floor for filling water bottles, making coffee / tea, so you can do those close to your room and do not need to go to the kitchen Wooden lockers right next to the beds which are big and quiet (no clanging metal doors) Full length mirror in the dorm Wheelchair lift for the stairs at Reception, and lifts to all levels. Security is fantastic with electronic locks and key card access for each room, main front door at night, and also the door from Reception into the guest area. The dorms are spacious, with large lockers, 2x power sockets, large shelf for devices, and a light at each bed. There is also a good aircon in the room which is a blessing in the summer. The dorms have a full length mirror and rubbish bin as well. The beds are steel framed bunks, but they are solidly constructed and barely creak. The beds are comfortable and the linen is clean and fresh. Showers have these huge rainstorm type heads, and the water pressure is great. Body wash is provided in wall-mounted dispensers, and each wash room has a shower, toilet, & basin. There are also other facilities that have toilet & basin only. Location is very good. It is on the edge if the CBD, and is a very short easy walk to the free tram stop.

The doors make a loud click when closing, which makes it difficult to leave early without waking up everyone else. The showers lack a place to put dry clothes, towel, and bathroom goodie bag (with toothpaste, shaving kit, hairbrush, etc.). That's a very easy one to fix.

1. There is an adjustable light on every beds including upper deck. It doesn't affect the lower deck and vice versa. 2. The staff helped me retain my mail which I appreciate it a lot. 3. There is a refrigerator on the kitchen floor. You can use it to store your food. You may also use the kitchen for cooking. 4. There are washing machines available located at the same floor as the kitchen floor.

1. Someone smoking in the room when other room mates were not around. 2. It would be good to group people who snore at night in the same room. 3. Upper deck bed was not so ideal because there is nothing to enclose it like the lower deck bed 4. The locker on the upper deck may be distanced too far. It is okay for the lower deck.
