This hostel is well maintained and kept clean. There are only four bed dorms so you won't feel crammed like a sardine. It is huge and can seem almost hospital sterile, but there are good times to be had at the bar and friendly people all around. And if you are so inclined, you can even scale the walls of... more

Very close to supermarkts, opposite a mcdonalds and easy walking distance to all sights. There is a tram stop 5mins walk away to connect to all over the city. Book trips at hotel desk for discounts i found them helpful. They advertise lots of different trips for travellers. Most trips pick up outside building. The Crowne Casino is a must... more

Upon my request, they changed a room for the second night. However, the motors and cars in the street just outside the window kept me awake almost the whole night!... more

While the facilities at this hostel were modern and clean, I wouldn't recommend it for people looking to meet other travellers. The vast majority of people in this hostel were working in Melbourne and staying indefinitely. If you are just travelling through, you will not meet other travellers. The only travellers in this hostel were school groups of high school... more

This was the second hostel i've ever been to (first was Gilligan's in Cairns-3rd was Annies in Alice Springs). I loved it!!!! We stayed on the 5th floor-very quiet. We had a great view of the city-beautiful! Our beds were super comfy and the pillow and blanket were heaven (and clean!!) The bathroom was a little dingy but just really... more
