Kind staff, well equipped kitchen. I liked the atmosphere there. Young backpers gathered and talked together and listened to music.. Good backpaer for young and budget travelers!

This was my second stay at Melbourne City Backpackers, and overall, it was another positive experience, much like my last visit. The only downside this time was one of my roommates. She came into the dorm very late and was quite noisy. Around midnight, she was loudly crunching chips, and when I politely asked if she could stop eating as the noise was affecting my sleep, she simply said it was my problem. At that point, I realised she wasn't someone open to reasonable communication, so I decided to avoid an argument and just let it go.

You get what you pay for in this hostel. It’s okay. A little messy and there are areas to keep your belongings safe unless you bring your own padlock. The beds we not very comfortable but the location was great. Only stayed for a few nights but wouldn’t book again. As for the amenities there are free breakfast and instant coffee with study tables around the common area.

The hostel was packed with other travelers when I arrived. It was a vibrant place for young travelers as it is i the heart of Melbourne CBD and very close to the train station to connect with other regions of Victoria. They serve breakfast daily consisting of coffee, tea, toast with jams and butter, and looking at the kitchen counters full of labeled bags of groceries and stuff, it seems a lot have been staying there for long-term.

The room is very close to St. Cross. They have a luggage room, but it’s quite small and often full of luggage.
You’ll need to climb stairs from the street to the reception, and there’s no elevator to the bedrooms.
The room and bathroom are okay. They offer many free activities at night and free breakfast in the morning, which is nice.

Great hostel! Air conditioning in rooms and communal areas 24/7. Each bed has its big locker (bring your lockpad). The toilets/bathrooms are cleaned twice a day. The kitchen is huge and well equipped, allowing many guests to cook simultaneously and to store their food on shelves or in fridges.It is also cleaned by the staff. Big thank to the house keeping staff!
