It must be said that most hostels are 'average', so one can't expect too much when booking a cheap city room, but this hostel is absolutely disgusting. I at least expected a clean bed but didn't get that. The kitchen was an absolute disgrace, there were even birds flying around (and hence faeces on the cooking surfaces). I couldn't use... More

Absolutely horrendous. The picture was less than appealing online, however we were on a budget and needed somewhere to stay. When we arrived we found the room not in liveable condition, lacking the "working tv and coffee/tea" promised to us. There were white stains on the "washed linen", which smelt like a sweaty man. Down the side of the bed... More

This place was absolutely filthy. Please avoid. The toilets looked like they haven't been cleaned in ages. They would go in each day to "clean" but every time they left, nothing was different. You could smell the urine, see stains all over the place and the floors were sticky. Outside my window was a garbage pile. My sheets had stains... More

I came to Elizabeth Hostel by accident, looking for any room in Melbourne. It is quite comfy place, situated in nice but not noisy neighborhood. The hostel is big but because of its size you have opportunity to meet many people form around the world and with whom you can continue your adventure in travelling around Australia. The rooms are...

We booked out a 6 person dorm for a Saturday night only after another hostel 'lost' our booking and we needed somewhere in the same area. The bedding was dirty and had cigarette burns on ALL the pillow cases, which was only sorted out by buying $2.50 mattress protectors to put over the sheet and pillow (which happened to be... More

Dont ever stay there. Even if you book before they dont know about you booking the room. In the end we had to stay in single room, still had to pay 70 dollars, doesnt make sense. Reception is in the shop, if you get after closing hours you have to enter the place behind the fridge. The room wasnt great... More
