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!

Good cleaning and excellent location. The building is old and my bedroom was really small and old. Good for backpackers

Plus points😍😍 1. Location! Close to Southern Cross Station & quite cheap. Just bear in mind, this hostel might not suit you if you are disable or travel with heavy luggage. They don't have lift 2. Free simple breakkie from 8am to 11am. Also free milk, coffee, and tea whole day What I don't like😡😡 : 1. Their cleaning service management time! They can't choose any better timing to clean the bathroom. They started around 9am and until 10am it wasn't finish yet. People need to use the bathroom before they checked out though. And it's only 2 bathroom in 1 floor. 2. Their online system check in and door lock using third party apps called GoKi. It may more convenient for some people to just open the doors using bluetooth apps on phone. But I don't like to install apps that I will use 1 time only. 3. They should think about their shower room design better. No wall hanger inside cubicle, so you better not bring to much stuff to the bathroom

The advantage of staying here is close to southern cross. Easy to travel when need to catch up skybus early in the morning. The bed itself did not come with power supply that cause unable to charge the phone during the night.

Standard hostel, nothing special. It's fine to stay 1 or 2 nights. I liked the free breakfast, though.

Location was superb, it within Mel CBD and close at train station. Nearby resto to choose from and my favourite SUBWAY is just few steps. Restrooms outside the room but it's ok..as many cubicles and 2 cubes for shower exclusively for ladies. Door is secured as each person has password.
