Getting in and out of the rooms using the Goki app was pretty easy, staff at reception were really nice and helpful. The only complaint I have is the kitchen smelled so bad it permeated throughout the entire area outside it. I stayed on the 4th floor so I can’t speak for the other floors, but there were food items still in the fridges left unmoved for days/weeks at a time (I stayed for 2 weeks) and it was clear it probably hasnt been thoroughly cleaned/checked in a while. When dishes were washed and put away even by staff at the end of the night, there were still little grubs here and there on them. But housekeeping service and cleanliness of the entire place outside of that was pretty consistent. They cleaned the showers and trash every day, and fresh linens would be replaced from guests that were checked out. Everyone was really polite and helpful. Again, overall not bad.

The pictures on the webside of the room I booked did not collide with reality!
It was not very clean.
The hostel was however very good if you want to meet new people. You get a free drink on the day of arrival to mingle with people.
I only stayed for one night and I would not have liked to stay more than maybe 3 nights there.
I forgot to take photos because I only stayed for 1 night.

Rooms small, stinky, absolutely disgusting smell. Very crowded, no privacy at all. Lounge area and kitchen smell like rotten corpses. People lying around, looking and smelling like they are living there permanently without showering. Mold, dusty airconditioning, wet walls. Way too loud music on the ground floor, not possible at all too speak to receptionists and annoying when sleeping. Only go here if you're looking for depression.

Friendly staff, easy to walk to supermarket, state library, Melbourne central in 10mins, breakfast at hungry jack is just a 5mins walk, queen Victoria market is closer in 4 mins walk at the left side of the hostel building. Pay car parking in front of the hostel.

They wouldn't permit me to check-in without a passport albeit that other ID was available.

Public areas are well maintained, staff are super helpful and generous. Got upgraded a couple of times.
Love that they have a gym room, a tiny one but good enough for a hostel.

I liked the quietness in the living quarters. I liked the amenities in the reception area and the fact that each new visitor was offered a free drink.

The rooms are a good size but lack ventilation and as a result smell like a high school gym changing room. The beds are ok but rather small. If you are taller that 5’9 you aren’t Going to have a great time

I like the bath room. Specially the big one outside the bedrooms. The common bathroom was awesome. Because it has got bigger space.
8.0
good stuff, beds are pretty decent, and everyone seems to respect the rules of being quite at night.
Paiden was also a nice gal who helped me
Bathrooms are a bit dirty, and some of the residents didnt respect the cleanliness of the bathroom and didnt help keep it clean

This is a back packers,,which isn’t stated anywhere in the advertising. So many young kids every where,,, in hallways , on all the lounges, bags everywhere. We just wanted a good night out and got no sleep whatsoever. Yelling and screaming outside of the room ALL night.Would never recommend or stay here again. Not happy !!!

the shower curtain looked like it was about to start growing od and having only 1 bathroom for a room with 16 people is a little riddiculous
2.0
The photos are incredibly deceiving - in reality, the entire hostel is very dark, especially in the common areas located on each floor. Perhaps this was different pre-covid. Dark, minimal outlets, and very vast spaces make areas difficult to meet others and/or relax on your own. The lobby has music blasting including during the check out times. Within the rooms, the doors are not soundproof at all so when people play music in the common areas, it will surely keep you up. Additionally, an in-room speaker will play music and make a checkout announcement everyday about an hour before checkout. Definitely be warned and don't trust the photos. Would strongly suggest to pick elsewhere unless major improvements are made to the current state of this hostel.

Like a little hostel resort! Everyone was super lovely and vibes were immaculate. They’ve done a heap of renovations and opened a free gym, cafe, restaurant, vending machines and don’t have to leave the place to get food!

The alarm is going off four times in one day was incredibly frustrating. The smell downstairs in the lobby was pretty gross as well as in the bathrooms.

I drove 2 hours to get here. I had paid & booked but when I checked in they said the had no room! I spent hundreds getting new accommodation & Ubers ,& think you should refund this! I'm disgusted & won't hesitate to take this further if you will not acknowledge the wrongs done to me! I'm a victim of domestic violence & this just sends me over the edge!! I'm devastated 😞

The manager was welcoming and friendly. Great space concept, if it would have been cleaned. The room in which I stayed, 218 hasn’t been cleaned for long time, with trash scattered all over the ground. Bed sheets are not fitting with the mattress and the comforter size, therefore people were sleeping with out, I could clearly see the mattress cover and the comforter were dirty, huge stains on them. Bathroom had an acceptable cleanness.
Kitchen was not good, I didn’t felt comfortable about cooking there, people were not respecting communal spaces, all surfaces were dirty, a person was even cutting his nails and just threw them on the ground.
2.0
This property spends a lot of time and money making it look presentable but honestly one of the worst hostels I’ve ever stayed at. Door banging through the night, screaming in common areas at 2am, rough people throughout the building and the mattress was legit like sleeping on concrete. Stay somewhere else.
