Upon arrival I’ll admit I was a little skeptical, however it’s been such a nice stay! This is the cheapest hostel in Melbourne and I was expecting the worst, however it’s sad saying goodbye! The location is good, 20 mins walk away from the beachy, more communal areas one way and 20 mins tram from the major city the other. The rooms aren’t anything fancy at all, but not the worst, hang a towel up for some privacy in shared rooms and people are all very respectful and friendly. Nice pub downstairs and a 7/11 right across the road. Only thing is there’s not really a proper common room to meet the other backpackers- a very small kitchen, seating area and lounge room with 2 sofas. But we’ve managed to make friends! Don’t expect the nicest facilities in the world but they’re not the worst at all! Plenty of showers and toilets, laundry and free cereal and toast in the morning. Happy backpacker here 😀
