With a pace of its own, the best way to enjoy Melbourne is to stream along with its spirited tempo.

Huge kitchen, amazing location and plenty to do in the hostel. However, the rooms were small!! Very claustrophobic and way too many people in one room. Other than that, it was a great stay. I wouldn’t do longer than a few nights here, but the location to the city is perfect, so easy to get into the CBD!

Hostelworld says

Space Hotel is in central Melbourne, a short walk from Queen Victoria Market and Chinatown. It offers quite a lot of extras to guests, such as a gym, mini-cinema, a hot tub, self-service laundry facilities, a huge kitchen and individual shared bathrooms for extra privacy. Each dorm bed has a light and a shelf and we particularly like that there's power sockets inside the lockers so travellers can charge their electronics safely and easily.
