Great stay. I was worried it would be too hot at night without AC but it was totally fine, room was cool and comfortable. Great location, walking distance to both Fitzroy and the CBD.

Not terrible, but didn’t feel the most secure with no big lockers for bags. The location is good. The building itself is very old and definitely feels it.

Good location, walking distance from most places and next to a tram stop. Staff all lovely, especially the manager who was always super helpful. Good kitchen and food storage space. The curtains around the beds don’t cover much and some are missing but aside from that everything about the rooms is good. Not a huge amount of space in rooms but that’s to be expected with the low price and there are lots of other social spaces. I had a great stay and went back again a few days later

Hostelworld says

Home at the Mansion was rated the most popular hostel in Melbourne at the 2011 Hoscars and no wonder - it\'s centrally located near Queen Victoria Market, Federation Square and Chinatown. Hostelworld guests have said this is ?a great hostel to arrive to in Melbourne, especially just getting off of a long flight?. This hostel has clean, bright and airy rooms with high ceilings and our users say they particularly appreciate the ?awesome courtyard with picnic tables/sun loungers/ping-pong table/dart board?. Several travellers tell us they plan to stay here again because ?weekends here are party central?.
