We stayed here for 3 nights and booked a double ensuite. the room was very spacious, the bathroom was big and we had a balcony which was a bonus. Being on the 3rd floor we didn't hear any noise from the bar or road. the hostel itself was very modern and the bar was good fun. great location in St... more

My husband and I stayed here on our first night in Melbourne which coincided with the end of the Melbourne Cup so all the hotels were double the price. We'd both been travelling while at university and stayed in youth hostels then so wanted to relive those experiences too. We'd booked a private room which had a double bed and... more

The linens and bed were very nice and the bathroom within the room was clean, light filled and spacious. The bar downstairs had... more

I stayed in the Sanctuary which is the girls dorms, they are sectioned off from the rest and have so many additional... more

Base is lively, clean and modern with good facilities. i stayed in a 10 dorm- mistake far to many people. however it was en-suited which made a nice change. the bar was very good but the kitchen was far too small for the number of guests. i stayed during the tennis open and did not have a problem with noise... more
