We had a 3 bed room which was very clean. Even though The Nunnery is on a main road, the noise couldn't be heard in our room. There were plenty of nearby bathrooms and toilets and though old, they were clean. Linen and towels were included in the price and when we asked for extra blankets it wasn't a hassle.... more

I stayed in the guesthouse and the first problem was that instead of a twin room, which was confirmed even as we checked in, I was booked into a room with only one bed. There were other small issues to follow including lack of food at the included breakfast and bathrooms that were not cleaned properly. While this place is... more

So---we were in AU for 3 weeks and were ending our trip in Melbourned before our 22 hours flight back to NYC. My friend and I were looking for comfort and not beauty-cheap but not a dorm hostel-hot water--not cold showers and stinky rooms-- First off, all the rooms pictured on the website are in the guest house...so book that... more

The nunnery guesthouse is highly rated in guidebooks and I was hugely disappointed. It is no better than a backpackers. The rooms are not very clean and absolutely tiny. The kitchen is awful and the breakfast is dreadful - cornflakes and toast. At the weekend it was full and impossible to get into the bathrooms in the morning. For the... more

I stayed here for four nights and chose it as I wanted something cheap and in the Fitzroy area. The guy that checked me in was really friendly and helpful but I didn't have any interaction with any other staff. He kindly gave me a quiet room away from the trams and at the end of the passageway so no... more

nice hotel in a good example of victorian architecture. the hostel area is a bit rundown but has a good sized common room and reasonable looking bunkbeds from the looks, but the outdoor kitchen/dining room was filthy and cramped and there was no room to sit and eat even at 10am when they closed it down for breakfast (they had... more

We stayed in a double room in the guesthouse and in a double in the budget/backpackers section. The guesthouse is charming and very reasonably priced for a great location in the city. I've stayed in a lot of backpackers in Australia and the Nunnery definitely has charm and nice features but the size of the kitchen is ridiculous. It was... more

The hotels website is a bit misleading. They dont really have the townhouse the accomodation is in the guesthouse and budgets sections. We booked a deluxe double (shared bathroom) in the budget as the guesthouse was full. The room itslef was nice. However, the bathrooms (of which there were only two in the budget shared with all other guests) were... more

I love this place. I have been staying at the Nunnery every time I come to Melbourne since 1996. Great friendly backpacker environment with super friendly staff and great activities. Very helpful staff and awesome location. Whether staying in dorms or private rooms, this place can't be beat. more
