Elizabeth Hostel

Great

The room wasn't well soundproofed, and it was still noisy until midnight. There was no fan in the room, and the central air conditioning wasn't strong enough, so it was hot all night. I don't know if it was mosquitoes or fleas, but I woke up the next day with eight bites that were extremely itchy and uncomfortable. If you just want a cheap place to sleep, this is a good option, but otherwise, definitely choose another hotel.

The room was disgusting. Room clearly hasn’t been cleaned including the bedsheets. The staff were miserable. The lock on our room door wasn’t secure (someone had clearly tried to ethier break into the room previously or struggled to get into the room). Wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone even though it is cheap

Terrible. They do not clean the place. The room is can not be opened by the key and the place smells like a public toilet. The staff are always drunk and are theives. They only speak chinese.

Location is great, but the receptionist wouldn't offer you anything unless you ask: towel, cutlery, plate & cup. My room, with its window facing the fire exit area was noisy on some early mornings because of rubbish trucks picking up rubbish containers, cleaners dumping rubbish bags running up and down the fire exit stairs. I also was awakened by sound of vacuuming and shouting past midnight. Though the kitchen was clean, it had only one kitchen knife and one peeler, sometimes one plate or one bowl, no cups. I believe was bitten by bed bugs, as I have no alternative explanation for the itchy bites I got on the 1st night and was progressively getting more every night.

Easy check in

Half way house.. Regular hard drugs being used.. Bathroom/shower we’re disgusting.. Staff were rude.. Bed bugs.. Homeless people squatting.. Do not stay here

At this price tag, I think it is okay.

.

Curtains broken, smelled of stale cigarettes, near broken lock on room door. Generally gross and disgusting apart from the bathrooms which were clean. Do not stay here, mostly booked for longterm for homeless people. Recent bedbugs in reviews I wouldn't risk it.

If you are after the cheapest room in Melbourne City, then this is the hostel for you. The single room was basic, but fine for the price. Very convenient with a tram outside on Elizabeth St. The kitchen, toilets and bathrooms were filthy, so wear shoes inside these areas.

While I knew this was a very cheap option, my stay would have been a lot better if the place wasn’t filled with cigarette smoke - the smell of cigarettes and weed was so strong in the room it woke me up, I’m an ex smoker myself so don’t have an issue with smoke, but it was so strong and there weren’t any windows to open to air it out - plus there was a guy in one of the rooms just shouting all night. Appreciate it’s a cheap option, which the room reflects that but the smoke was too much

Noise during the night at times made it hard to sleep. No lift for person with bad limbs.

Me and my friend arrived an hour early before check in and they let us put our bags in this little room in the lobby. My friend felt something was off and when we left to have lunch I read the reviews and regretted doing so as it made me extremely anxious - one review said someone was watching them sleep and all their bags had been rummaged through. After lunch I ran straight back to the hostel which was only 10min before check in now and noticed my bag had been moved and my neck pillow lying on the floor when it had been on the handle of my suitcase. I checked my bags and nothing had been touched thankfully so I thought someone probably moved it to get to a bag behind it. We were able to check in 10min early. Everyone should note THERE IS ONLY STAIRS. 3 floors no elevator. You will have to drag your heavy bags up the stairs, I was on the third floor. Room was small with a fridge, two chairs and a table, a mirror, a fan and a bunk bed. It looks very old but seemed clean enough. There was a leak in the roof that was dripping into one of the chairs and made the room smell musty. Overall, my stay wasn’t bad. Though we had some dodgy neighbours, nobody entered our room, we made sure the door was locked when we left or went to sleep. The toilets are due for a renovation but they are kept clean enough. So don’t let the bad reviews freak you out - as long as you are making sure the door is locked and taking safety measures you’ll be fine

The staff didn’t even know there listed on this site

No air conditioning, no wifi, unsafe environment. Linen and towels are very old and smelly. The building is old and broken. The staffs are all very unprofessional and poor English. Only good thing about the place is walking distance to tram and queen Victoria market.

Would not let me and had to sleep on the street because they would not accept an online drivers license. We quite rude about it. Feels like they were going to book out the room again

the property was very bad and rooms were very dirty. no lift.

Please read google reviews and don't make the same mistake that i did. Booked for two weeks, the place was a living nightmare full of dangerous people. I tried to get a refund, but i wasn't able to because of the hostel's policy.

liked -close to the markets, disliked -horrible double mattress.
