Together Co-Living

Location is quite far from the CBD or even a tram line to the CBD but it is incredibly safe, clean, and spacious enough for 1 person. The toilet is in the shower which threw me off a little bit though, good use of the space I guess? It was great for me to sleep through my jet lag though! Security is also top-notch.

I stayed at Together co-living for 16 nights expecting a hostel, but sadly this is a mix of hotel and student accommodation. There is zero community feel, despite what their socials may depict - the events advertised did not take place from what we saw, and the communal kitchens are tiny (not even 1 kitchen per floor) and you are required to provide all of your cookware (cutlery, crockery, cookware etc). Staff did their best but they always seemed rushed off their feet. The room was ok at least.

The staff in the food area made out stay they were super friendly and went out of there way to try to cater for my needs. t’s a very unsocial place as it’s mainly university students and they don’t tend to mingle. They have a gym and a pool which is great. It’s a two hour walk from the CBD but is easily accessible on the tram. The walls are extremely thin and you can hear your neighbours using the bathroom which is very off putting. The kitchen area and laundry room didn’t match the photos.
