When you stay alone at a backpacker, the value of your experience depends on things outside the reach of the place you are staying at, as for example, the people you have to stay with. And that is why I don't give it a lower rating. Anyway, Greenhouse is located at a great spot in the best city of Australia.... More

I have stayed here many times on trips to Melbourne for Formula 1 and during other times. Staff are always friendly, check in/out is pretty effortless and the rooms are pretty good value. I have never actually used the kitchen here, so I'm not sure how good it is. The main upside to Greenhouse is the location; a short walk... More

Melbourne is such a great city to visit for fun and adventure and staying in a safe and close place, good value and friendly staff is really important to me when traveling alone. More

The headline says it all. When I arrived staff were friendly and informative - I had initially had to book a mixed dorm as all the female ones were full online, but when I checked in they had placed me in a female dorm which I was really happy about. Greenhouse Backpackers is really central...it is in the centre and... More

Good location and facilities – breakfast, Wi-Fi, bar crawl and would stay there again, however it seemed unclean this time especially the kitchen (whether that is more to do with the guests?). Pots and pans haven’t been replaced in 3 ½ years. Also the staff seemed more unfriendly and less willing to help than last time e.g. tea bags ran... More

Stayed in a double private room on 5th floor which had a double bed with single on top (bunk style) so you could add more people for an extra fee. Room small with no window and poor lighting so pretty dark. Doors self-closing so they slam really loudly if you're not careful. Toilets/showers clean. Got moved to another room on... More

This has got to be one of my favourite hostels in Australia, it is extremelly clean, rooms and showers/toilets. A busy hostel which always has something going on -free breakfast and free acticities (which change daily) to join in with. Bingo games and a great atmosphere for solo-travellers to build friendships and meet people. The rooms are very quiet and... More

I stayed there in March 2011 with a friend while we were on a trip to Melbourne. The location was awesome (in the middle of the city), and the place was very neat and the occupants were very quiet. Though i was quite surprised that the walls aren't concrete, nevertheless, it didn't bother me much because of the quietness. Toilets... More

the room and public bathroom is clean, which is most important for a backpacker hostel. well the breakfast is ok, with enough food and equipment. the room is really simple decorated, only with the bed and a table. whatever, the wireless internet equipment is always can not be searched out. good location and worthy choice for backpackers.
