Toilets unclean, nil appropriate disposal options for sanitary products, dodgy doors to rooms and loud guests at all hours. Ok for one night, but wouldn’t recommend for anything longer! Reception staff were all pleasant!

Friendly service

We were allowed to check-in 4 hours early. Really great! The hotel is definitely not as bad as some of the reviews are stating. However there's still room for improvements :) The male toilets were disgusting and ran out of toilet paper during the night. The rooms were really worn down

6/10 Good

Despite the best efforts of the staff, this place was completely compromised by the clientele. Recently renovated bathrooms were left in an appalling state by those using and I saw faeces in places I have never seen it before in my life. It's a shame because the hostel is well located and the staff were friendly and helpful.

Pretty dirty, old carpet and bad maintenance... a lot of homeless around and inside that hotel with mental condition. I had room by myself, it was a relief only for that😇

2/10 Poor

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

2/10 Poor

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.

2/10 Poor

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.

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.

2/10 Poor

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.
