Great hostel in an ideal location. The kitchen is really well facilitated. The rooms were very messy with people leaving their things all over the place but that’s not the hostel’s fault.

One of the nicer hostels I’ve stayed in. There are a lot of long-term or older people so it’s not the best for solo backpackers, however I chose this for some quiet nights and it was perfect. The bathrooms and kitchen are clean and the staff are lovely.

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?.
