We stayed in the Guesthouse part of the Nunnery for 5 nights. It was cheaper than any central hotel we could find & provided a good breakfast service. The rooms were clean, warm & had nice character features. Upstairs rooms seemed to have access to more bathrooms. I had no problems with the kitchen as other people had commented on.... More

This hostel is great! I loved it here! Its walking distance from downtown and located in cute neighbourhood. Staff goes beyond to help you out! Make sure you book in time so you can enjoy this lovely accomodation!

Stayed in a four person dorm (we'd emailed several times to check we'd all be able to all bunk in the same room, so were a bit surprised when we arrived and the staff said 'we're not fully booked tonight so might be able to get you all in together) for two nights at the Nunnery. Although it seem quite... More

The Nunnery could be a great hostel. It's located walking distance from Melbourne CBD but not in it. It's also walking distance from the Fitzroy's night life. The builiding is impressive - wide staircases, vintage furniture. The nuns must have liked it there... We stayed for 2 nights in a double room, and here's where things started to deteriorate. The...

Seeing the Nunnery online I thought that it may be slightly more religious than it was, expecting to find Christians and bibles and people praying before meals, not quite so but not far off. I am pleased that I spent just a couple more dollars per night to stay at the Nunnery instead of going to a slightly cheaper, dirtier,... More

A quieter, less raucous experience than most backpacker places. I spent one night in the Guest House (the more grown-up part of the Nunnery), in a single room, which was perfectly acceptable - basic, but clean and comfortable. It's not luxurious, and there were queues for the toilets/showers in the morning, but the price is fair, and the location is... More

This hostels has two buildings - the hostel and the Guesthouse. We got upgraded in the guesthouse and would book rooms here next time too. The hostel part seemed quite big and noisy. The guesthouse is a cosy house with amazing interior. The bathrooms were quite nice and big and the dorm was good! Amazing breakfast with fresh rolls and... More

I stayed here after reading good things about this place. However, after travelling for 6 months this is one of the worst hostels I've stayed in. The kitchen is tiny for the number of people staying in the hostel and is really dirty. People don't seem to do their washing up, I've never seen so many dirty dishes piled up... More

I have stayed in hostels all over the world and this is very good accommodation. It was clean and the kitchen was well cleaned (3 times daily). You get a towel included and a duvet. The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is as with a lot of hostels it charges for weak wi-fi (which I've always disagreed with... More
