The property was good clean & cheap. A pleasant relaxing stay, despite a couple of small hickups shopping with things now clear - Very impressed with the overall control in the Australian public environment. Finally they have found a way to secure the situation to make it safe to have a look around.

The room smelt of urine, extra charges that weren't disclosed at time of booking e.g Security deposit for room key, The male toilets had vomit all over 1 cubicle, and staff didn't care about it and spoke English because they had to and spoke in Mandarin between each other in front of guests. Would not recommend at all, and certainly not going back there

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).

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.

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
