IPPO, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

A good option if you don't mind dormitory accommodation and a range of interesting people to meet.
Geoffrey, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Well run and clean property with few signs of wear and tear despite high usage. Bathrooms were clean and air-circulation was good. Only the kitchen ficilities let things down slightly due to high usage (taps loose in their fittings, communal scouring pads need more frequent replacement - one microwave was inoperable). But would definitely stay again.
Ben, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I do not understand rhe negative review this place is amazing.
Maria Cristina, 5-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I liked the quietness in the living quarters. I liked the amenities in the reception area and the fact that each new visitor was offered a free drink.
MARK, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Friendly staff, easy to walk to supermarket, state library, Melbourne central in 10mins, breakfast at hungry jack is just a 5mins walk, queen Victoria market is closer in 4 mins walk at the left side of the hostel building. Pay car parking in front of the hostel.
Chi Hang, 7-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Like a little hostel resort! Everyone was super lovely and vibes were immaculate. They’ve done a heap of renovations and opened a free gym, cafe, restaurant, vending machines and don’t have to leave the place to get food!
Caroline, 28-night trip

8/10 Good

Close to transport.
Aweke, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Public areas are well maintained, staff are super helpful and generous. Got upgraded a couple of times. Love that they have a gym room, a tiny one but good enough for a hostel.

Bruce, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

good stuff, beds are pretty decent, and everyone seems to respect the rules of being quite at night. Paiden was also a nice gal who helped me Bathrooms are a bit dirty, and some of the residents didnt respect the cleanliness of the bathroom and didnt help keep it clean
brian, 6-night trip

8/10 Good

It was very clean, staff so nice, kitchen perfect and clean. Many area to bien cool, to seat. A very nice hostel. Just very noisy at my floor during the night so difficult to sleep. People have to make some party downstairs. But just this negative point !
Lisa, 2-night trip

2/10 Terrible

The bathroom is too small and there are all other people’s item around there, also these hotel charge me surcharge fee before I arrived, I can pay at cash at the property. I won’t recommend anyone stay here
WEI-YUAN, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

The rooms are a good size but lack ventilation and as a result smell like a high school gym changing room. The beds are ok but rather small. If you are taller that 5’9 you aren’t Going to have a great time
Tom, 1-night trip

some people or some tourist i don't like it.
Chi Hang, 5-night trip
