Receptionist wasnt very helpful or friendly. Noisy hostel with partition walls on the first floor. Great location and clean room with comfy bed. Fine for a short stay.

I think I got a disease just by walking into the building and my bed didn't even have a pillow. They definitely need to clean this place up or drop the price.

This is the worst place we stayed at in more than 20 years of traveling around the world: extremely dirty, noisy, very unfriendly staff! Although the location is good, we would never recommend this place to anyone.

Its just discusting. That were the 3 worst nights in Australia so far. Just young drunk backpackers and a "kitchen" in the basement full of water and a lift thats working "from time to time". Its better to pay a little more and get a real hostel in Melbournes CBD. The location is perfect though. 10 meters from Flinder Street Station.
