The staff at the front desk were lovely & very helpful. YHA Melbourne Central is in a great part of Melb’s, a short walk to Southern Cross station. The room was not bad & had a good heater, but I was disappointed to find a yellow stain on the sheet on the lower bunk bed I slept in. The quilt inside the quilt cover was yellow stained & should be replaced. In the female bathroom on level 4 the bathroom lights above the mirror were not working which made the bathroom poorly lit. This is a safety issue & needs replacing. It is also disappointing that there is nothing in the room to hang up my clothing nor a table to put my mobile phone on. I may stay there again but in a double room. YHA Melbourne Central needs to improve a few things.

Clean and safe.Quiet pleasant atmosphere and staff are friendly and helpful

There were no outlets near my bed so I had to use my phone charger.

The location is excellent, 5 mins walk to southern cross station, prefect for frequent regional travelling. Hostel is within free tram zone so easy to get the CBD by tram. Fairly clean and modern. Lift available to carry suitcases upstairs. Hard to fall asleep when the person moves on the top bunk bed and the whole bed moves. Better if the bed space can be more private. Overall experience is good and will stay again

Affordable accommodations in the heart of the CBD

I had a pretty good hostel experience. They had a decently priced breakfast available, and the included wifi was decent. The bathrooms were also decently clean. I would go back. The only problem was that it was overpriced because of a certain pop star being in town when I stayed there.

Friendly staff . Very clean. Being so close to mono rail and the train makes it very noisy!!!

Booked a double room at the YHA when I tried to find affordable accommodation during the Australian Open. I haven’t stayed in a YHA since the 1990s and I can’t remember why. It’s so easy. The location is fantastic - in the CBD a short walking distance to everything in the city and Southbank. The room & ensuite were clean and the bed comfortable. It is slclose by a lot of late night eateries and venues, and there are common areas for relaxing, there’s a bar and for an extra charge you can have breakfast. There is a communal kitchen. I would happily stay here again. So convenient for exploring Melbourne. Loved it.

I thought the property was in a great

Bed not confortable

Clean facilities convenient to transport

i recommend you to stay this place! Everything is clean. but one thing it can improve is that we can not open the window in our room.

no table or place to hang a towel

Friendly, clean and convenient. I will stay again.

The room was very hot and stuffy, the small air con did nothing except move warm air around. Balcony door was locked, couldn't open for fresh air. Impossible to sleep all night. I wouldn't recommend.

Would recommend

Nice and clean. Friendly staff.

Very good stay, value for money, close to everything.

My room wasn’t cleaned daily for 7 nights till I said something

Good place for a quick overnight stay, but given it's proximity to major rail lines was extremely noisy. If you're planning on sleeping before 2am, bring ear plugs. Otherwise, room was basic but clean, and bed was comfortable. Kitchen and common areas well equipped and staff very obliging. Easy access to public transport and less than 10 minutes walk to city centre. Food and essentials close by. Would stay again with ear plugs :-)

I think the shower are some cold And can get very hot

Last minute booking, was what I expected - clean and very basic

Friendly staff, clean facility. But I wanted to a service about keep luggage before and after check in.

Bunk beds were creaky which was annoying. However, people were friendly, location was good.

Not that good

Staff team very Nice

Nice central accommodation, ideal for travelling. A variety of rooms, cozy entertainment room and kitchen.

Great location. Easy access. However, the CBD area might not be the best part of Melbourne. There is room for improvement on the cleanness. The staff are super nice and helpful.

First off, the bathrooms are top notch clean. There seemed to have been a problem on my 3rd day there with one of the stalls being locked, but overall it was much, much cleaner than my last hostel. Second, the downstairs was nice and roomy with lots of tables. The staff is very friendly there and helpful as well. The only knock against it would be the wifi not being available anywhere except the first floor unless you pay for premium. On top of that, the free wifi is slow so if you are planning on working or uploading anything, I would probably not recommend it. Regarding the comfort of the room, they are very spacey rooms which is nice. The only issue is the bed. The bunk beds are squeaky and can get quite noisy which is an issue when you are coming in late at night. In addition, either the mattress or the support is weak so my mattress would cave in. If you have back problems, this is probably not the hostel for you.Overall, great hostel and highly recommended.
