Booked 6 months before our weekend in Melbourne, had all the confirmations but when we went to check in... No record of our booking and no rooms left!!!! This was during the formula 1 weekend where Melbourne was virtually booked out, coincidence? I don't think so

Overpriced hostel with bad facilities
Four rooms in one apartment. Old, only one towel for 5 days (had to buy some), no tv, no window, no cleaning, noisy. Way overpriced at $235/night. It's not worth more than no service shared facility hostel accom at about $100/night.

Wayy overpriced and underwhelming. This 2 bit chit hole is an apparent with locks on bedroom doors. It was not clean or safe. Save your money go elsewhere. A few more dollars will see you comfortable in your own kitchen, bathroom, living area. Total rip off!

Check-In Nightmare
The check in process was very difficult. There is no front desk. You can’t access the building without a code or badge so we had to call hotels.com and the property phone number. We were told to enter a certain code and then the lady yelled at us demanding to know how we got that code. Then she yelled at her son the whole time we were checking in. I finally interrupted and asked if we should just go somewhere else since they were so upset we were there!

Cheap option for a single night in the city. Staff was terrible and spent the whole time on the phone while checking in. As facilities are shared they can get dirty quickly, when I checked in bathroom was clean but after another guest used it there was water and mess everywhere. Not the hotels fault but something for guests to be aware of

This is a lovely hostel in Melbourne CBD. I stayed in an en-suite room and it was everything I needed. The location is super convenient. I took the airport bus into the city and it drops off just a few blocks away. The owner was on holiday but was still able to return my deposit without any issue. I would stay here again.
