At first I wasn't too sure about this place, the reception is on the first floor which seemed a bit odd to me. The room was a good size 6 share, with locker facilities, oscillating fan and the best bit, the quietist beds I've encountered in any hostel! Proper rigid! Not the cleanest of rooms with a layer of dust... More

Stayed at MIB around August, 2012 for 3 days. We can reach the hotel easy, because of good location. Close enough from Flinder Street and Victoria Market. There are some restaurant and mini market around the hotel. For the hostel itself, the bathroom is clean. The bedroom is quite big (4 bed dorm). The staff was very helpful. We never... More

My boyfriend and I stayed at the backpackers for two nights. Reception was pretty nice and helpful. The backpackers location was great, very close to the main city hub. The only downside of the location is that the windows aren't sound proof and you can hear all the cars and street noise. The part I loved most about this backpackers... More

It's location on Elizabeth is pretty good, traffic will wake you up early on your first night but after that you won't notice it. Close enough to Flinders Street, very close to most things including library, free tram. Large hostel but not unfriendly - TV, laundry, storage, lots of fridge and cooking space. Rooms are a little basic, bathrooms good,... More

Stayed at MIB about a month ago. I've not stayed in such a big hostel before and figured it'd be noisy and busy but I was wrong. The kitchen does get pretty manic at times but waiting times aren't the worst. The room we had (6 bed dorm) was really big and immaculate, cleaned regularly. The staff were very helpful... More

We stayed in a 6 bed dorm. This is a large hostel which normally means noise and mess however this place is very clean and there is no noise whatsoever from within the hostel. Even the bar attached doesn't produce any noise. All the reception staff were very friendly and helpful and the blonde lady who checked us in was... More

Booked into here a week and instantly hated it after the first night. The place is about 1000 degrees, the staff were rude and the whole place was very dull. I was in an 8 bed dorm which had two sockets, obviously useless! Won't be staying here again no matter how cheap it is.

I stayed here 10 days and would have stayed longer but my plans changed. I really enjoyed it. It was fully booked on numerous nights but never felt overcrowded to me. I never had to wait to use any facilities, although the queue for pancakes in the morning could get pretty crazy! The bathrooms were kept super clean. The free... More

I stayed in the hostel arround 2 weeks. It is cheap enough because of the good location. There is a bar just located the ground floor, a little bit noisy but fun. The kitchen was crowded but you can make friends easily.
