What a great hostel. Run by backpackers, and nothing was ever too much trouble for the staff. It's extremely close to the free tram, and even if you dont hop on the free tram, its only a 10/15min walk from everything. I found it to be a lovely hostel, in a lovely area, in a lovely city. Everything was clean,... More

We spent just 1 night there because we found it really too noisy; from 7 pm people are drinking in the dining room, leaving no seats for those who want to eat, with defeaning music in the too small kitchen and plates and mugs left on disgustingly dirty surfaces, after that you will have to try to sleep with drunk...

Thank you for your comments, we are always grateful for feedback. I would definitely concede the noise was a little more than it should have been on the night you stayed with us. Due to a combination of a group of our long term guests leaving, a birthday and the fact it was a Friday night it was always going... More

Stayed here for 4 nights and was really pleased to be walking distance from everything in the CBD. I had a 5 share dorm which was clean and even got a bed that wasn't a bunk! Staff were friendly and facilities were clean and well organized. The building has a lot of character and is architechtually amazing- you might not... More

We arrived to find an extremely nice welsh man greeting us a the front desk and for that matter all of the staff were very friendly and helpful. They were always on hand to show you where to go and what there was to do. The hostel itself was very clean and tidy and had a great atmosphere. We stayed... More

After staying at two other hostels in Melbourne this place was such a relief to find! The others were overmanned in tiny sunless rooms and filthy kitchens. The mansion has spacious clean rooms and communal areas. Really great staff, super friendly. This is a great place to stay..

I knew I was going to like this place from the second I checked in. The Welsh guy on reception (sorry forgot your name) was very friendly and helpful and even managed to get me into my room early. I had asked for a lower bunk because I am visually impaired and this wasn't a problem unlike some other places... More

Good outside area to smoke in and hang out. Kitchen and dining area was a good size. Great hostel. The hostel arranged nights out that were fun. Also had a free BBQ... More

Good value backpacking accomodation, beds were comfy enough. Major issue I had was the lock on the dorm door didnt really work, you could just open the door by pushing hard, but individual lockers make up for that. Would stay there again, friendly service and suitable facilities. Good value for money

I thought this was a great place full of friendly staff and in a great location. I was in a private room initially then in a 4 bedded mixed dorm. Toilet and shower facilities were great and the kitchen and fridge space was ample. I didn't welcome the bed bug bites though from sleeping in the mixed dorm which put... More
