They ask for the passport as a deposit but when leave given a different passport. The hostel is located up a flight of stairs which is not convenient for with heavy luggage.

Toilets unclean, nil appropriate disposal options for sanitary products, dodgy doors to rooms and loud guests at all hours. Ok for one night, but wouldn’t recommend for anything longer! Reception staff were all pleasant!

Do not stay here. It’s more of a homeless shelter than hostel. The photos make it look clean but it is anything but. There are drug addicts here who will try and open your door. Didn’t even stay for 1 hour. The receptionist is unbelievably rude and unprofessional. If you book here your company is people who don’t mind living in their own filth. The room I got had faeces on the wall and the smoke alarm was ripped open and batteries stolen. After everything only staying for 1 hour I was denied a refund for my stay. Absolutely disgusting and horrendous. Please stay away.

Despite the best efforts of the staff, this place was completely compromised by the clientele. Recently renovated bathrooms were left in an appalling state by those using and I saw faeces in places I have never seen it before in my life. It's a shame because the hostel is well located and the staff were friendly and helpful.

We were allowed to check-in 4 hours early. Really great!
The hotel is definitely not as bad as some of the reviews are stating.
However there's still room for improvements :)
The male toilets were disgusting and ran out of toilet paper during the night.
The rooms were really worn down

If price is your only concern then by all means stay. Expect no amenity. No towels, no toilet paper, loud music being played late at night and noisy guests moving around constantly. At least they could install some sharps bins so loose needles weren’t put in random places

Please do not stay here. This place should be condemned, it is absolutely disgusting and I can’t even begin to describe the smell. I walked in and walked back out again. I’ve since spoken to people who have had items stolen and the management are aware and just let it happen. Please pay that little bit more and go somewhere else

This place is riddled with bed bugs, it smells horrible and when we turned out the lights, glow in the dark tags were on the walls. Don't go here!!

Showers were amazing. Toilet not so. And Residents that Rent out the Dorms on a weekly Basis are Extremly messy and Noisy. They smoke at the Front Door, and it drifts up Hostel Building and comes through the Windows.

This was a very cheap hostel in a great location. You definitely get what you pay for but I’d definitely come here again if I was on a budget.

The photos on the web are not at all like the hostel. Broken handles in bathroom's and the looks likeno care is taken with all the graffiti on the walls. Bathroom smelt of smoke. It had permanent resident's and kept awake the second night by drunks having an emotional fight. I felt unsafe.

Run down hovel. Room condition was beyond bad. Patched walls, power points loose in walls, condition generally terrible. Door on room barely closed it had been broken and repaired so many times. Toilet facilities horrible. Broken seat, water flowing from toilet onto bathroom floor and excrement caked everywhere. A toilet on an Indian train would be better. Noisy to the point of not being able to sleep. Drunken yahoos outside on the street carrying on all night and sketchy drug/drunk or otherwise unreasonably noisy fellow patrons. The only positive thing to say it was a roof over my head. But otherwise no safer, quieter or pleasant than being on the streets

Very uncomfortable couple of nights at the hostel. Lots of long term tenant, who are drinking and loud and the bathrooms stank and were not cleaned in the 3 days/2 nights.

Bathroom wasn’t the cleanest. Room was ok but I had a mouse staying with me. Very noisy at night, had tenets yelling at 3am.

Chose to stay here for a couple of night as it was budget friendly. But it smelt of stale smoke, and cabbage. Ladies shower door broken, and the smear of blood on the wall of the loo betrayed a second rate cleaning schedule - It was there when we arrived, and still there as we were checking out two days later. I felt unsafe. There was fresh offensive grafitti each day, and my partner reported that there was fresh vomit in the sink in the men's on our second morning though, so there's that. I got told to "F-Off" by a stranger after filling my drink bottle in the communal kitchen. The kitchen facilities seemed OK though. Was a bit of an experience and memorable, but will not repeat. The check in was easy, and the desk staff were genuinely lovely people... But the vibe of the place was pretty sleazy. Hope this helps someone avoid our mistake.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Very basic facilities, my room was clean so no worries there.
Needed air plugs to get a good nights sleep as the floors were wooden and sometimes the neighbours were a little noisy.
Great transport links to the trams.

After booking a Double Room with desk and refrigerator upon check-in I was assigned a room with 3 double bunk beds, no desk, no refrigerator. The room was on the top of four floors with no lift - a challenge with luggage at the best times. Returning to reception to hopefully correct the room allocation mistake, the receptionist said that was the correct room after which I showed her the listing in Hotels.com which she said was outdated (the listing is the same on all sites)and after a series of phone calls I was allocated the room I had booked. I cancelled the remainder of my booking and have chosen to stay at The Village Melbourne which is far better value & standard for about the same price.

I located this hotel on Wotif.com, I start stay on 12 July 2019. I stayed continually for 24 months.

The property was good clean & cheap. A pleasant relaxing stay, despite a couple of small hickups shopping with things now clear - Very impressed with the overall control in the Australian public environment. Finally they have found a way to secure the situation to make it safe to have a look around.

No clock radio, very basic small rooms. Fair value backpacker option, good central city location for the budget conscious.

The location was good and convenient to transport and food. However the cleanliness has to improve. I feel the bedsheets and pillow case was not clean enough. And there is no wifi in the room ..if you have to use the internet, you have to go to the lobby. Some residents did not go to the lobby for the wifi but instead slept on the sofa and occupy the space. This ought to be disallowed.

I stayed a week and extend it for another week because of only one reason. Accessibility to Central Business District and places to eat. It wasnt a pleasant stay with people fighting almost every night and bullying other guests. Drinking in the rooms were tolerated causing unpleasant stay because of the noise. I requested to be moved to other room but was charged extra cost. Still the same environment. I never been to prison but it feels like you are staying in one. Sorry to say this but I think the sentiment is also felt by other guests.
