Very new hostel. All the common areas were spotless and the bathroom was always clean no matter what time i went in. Cool roof top area. I stayed in a 4 person dorm room and it was really small. The lockers were also under the bottom bunks in the room i was in. This was a little annoying if you... more

Hostel is 5min walk to Southern Cross Station but 20-25 walk to city main shopping area. The free city tram stops at the hostel but it takes about same time as the tram goes a big circle.

As for the hostel itself, it has... more

I was so pleased to experience a purpose built or rebuilt hostel. I liked that i was in a room that the window could be opened. Having a lift made it easy to get from one floor to the other. I did this quite a few times as there was no kitchen on the floor I was on. Having the... more

Firstly, the YHA Melbourne is the CLEANEST hostel I have seen. The friendly staff at reception are welcoming and informative of Melbourne and its surroundings including transport, nightlife, shopping, sightseeing, dining, etc. The location is convenient with a tramline on its doorstep. The Crown Casino is located across the river, a 2 minute walk. The upkeep of rooms, kitchen, lounge... more
