I met some very nice friendly people here. You must be able to sleep through the sound of trams and trains outside the windows. The school group made it seem busy.

Great stay! Good room, I asked for a good view, but they didn’t provide. The cleaners would open the door every morning to check the rubbish (waking me up), that wasn’t pleasant. Really good location.

I love the atmosphere of YHA Melbourne. So many different travelers of all ages. Great open plan commercial kitchen that connects to the dining area so you feel connected to others while preparing food. Easy to use affordable lockers and just around the corner from Southern Cross Station making rail and airport connections so easy. Free trams outside the door for getting around Melbourne. The private en-suite room was a little bit expensive I thought at $192 for the night. Apart from that it suited my purpose of going to the Australian Open.

My stay in this place is not as good as expected. When I checked-in, I had no immediate access to the shared restroom. I have to get down to the reception area to report my case; they have to get my access card to fix it; However, I still do not have access when I went back to the restroom. It was such a great hassle holding all my toiletries and change clothes with me while going up and down the lift. I had to go down 3 times to let them know I still have no access. It was such a frustration indeed!

The location YHA Melbourne is absolutely great, just 10 min walk away from southern cross station and the staffs are always nice. The problem is, the dorms are very basic, you got your own bunk and locker, that’s all hahaaa
