I stayed 3 nights but easily could stay the whole week there. Well-equipped kitchen, laundry (paid), clean bathrooms, free parking, and I was lucky to stay alone in my dorm room.
Located in a really good place, just a quick walk to the tram station, Woolsworth, dentist(if you need one). A short tram ride will get you to the beach for a relaxing stroll. Heading to the CBD is also pretty easy with a 30-ish minute tram ride.
The staff is helpful and friendly. You can cook in the kitchen if you want to, couple of stoves,a microwave and an electric kettle.
If you want to enjoy a cuppa but don’t want to go out, there’s also a cafe. Order up! 👍

This was my second stay at Melbourne City Backpackers, and overall, it was another positive experience, much like my last visit. The only downside this time was one of my roommates. She came into the dorm very late and was quite noisy. Around midnight, she was loudly crunching chips, and when I politely asked if she could stop eating as the noise was affecting my sleep, she simply said it was my problem. At that point, I realised she wasn't someone open to reasonable communication, so I decided to avoid an argument and just let it go.
The hostel was perfectly located because it was waking distance to all the restaurants and shops. The front desk gave a perfect recommendation for places to eat and things to do. Would definitely go back.

Perfect hostel I highly recommend. The environment here is very comfortable and excellent management can be seen everywhere. This is a large accommodation with many roommates so you don't feel lonely. The downstairs is very lively with different activities every day, while the accommodation floors also maintain the quality of accommodation.
Great location just a five minute drive to Woolies. The room is very clean with plenty of supplies like plates, bowls, tablewares, cotton swabs... The owner is pretty kind as well. Affordable and quality accommodations.
Highly recommended!
We had a great stay in a comfortable and spacious room. Location is also great and public transport is close. Staff is friendly and helpful.
Value for money, the price is unbeatable for Australia.
Great value option to stay in Melbourne, confortable rooms, shared bathrooms but they have been renovated recently, shared small kitchen too. We enjoyed a lot our stay. The area is very good, very well conected with downtown. 100% recomended. Very friendly, welcoming and helpful staff.

GGuest UserIt looks like a standard motel. There are several Chinese restaurants and supermarkets about 1 kilometer away. It takes about 30 minutes to drive to the city center.

HHaydnThe positives were the hotel staff, who were very accommodating and attentive, and the convienant free shuttle bus to and from the airport. The location itself is an ideal distance from the aiport, however it is quite old, with long, unattractive hallways of old red brick, which smelled of cigarettes and mustiness. The communal areas were extremely limited, as though an afterthought, and I can not imagine anyone actually using them, so they're likely just for show, but it doesn't look inviting. The view from the back side of the hotel looked out through some low trees to a dirt field, which is fair enough for a 3-star hotel, however there seems to be a large amount of (guard?) dogs being kept in a fenced area on that property only 40 metres away from the hotel, and they bark constantly, day and night, with peaks of extremely excited barking which is noticeably loud and hard to ignore. There were an old pair of dirty shorts clumped in the hotel's yard, right below the balconies and tree-line, which was a bit off-putting to see. There is not much around the hotel in walking distance, including public transport, so expect to use taxi or uber unless you want to walk extended distances.
Generally, the hotel was serviceable for an overnight stay. However, I do not recommend staying here for any more than an overnight layover. It was not a comfortable or enjoyable experience, and best used for budget stays only. The age of the hotel is very evident in its cramped and dated design.
TThomasAnother amazing stay at Sandors! We love how it’s within walking distance to the cinema, supermarket and Working Man’s Club! Great breakfast included and the friendliest of staff. Cya again very soon!!!
SSheelaApollo Bay Waterfront Motor Inn is a fantastic choice for anyone visiting the area. The rooms are clean, neat, and well-maintained, offering a comfortable stay. Its location is perfect — just a short walk to eateries and a grocery store, making everything you need easily accessible.
What truly sets this place apart is the exceptional hospitality. The receptionist’s warm and friendly demeanor during our arrival and even after made us feel genuinely welcome. It’s those little touches of kindness that brighten your day and make your stay even more memorable.
Highly recommend this inn for its convenience, cleanliness, and the heartfelt service!
VVallenCute little cozy place to stay ☺️
easy self check in and check out, very convenient.
i got a lower level room which make it a bit noisy when someone upstairs walk or do anything. But overall it was a nice stay🌷
