I had a pretty good hostel experience. They had a decently priced breakfast available, and the included wifi was decent. The bathrooms were also decently clean. I would go back. The only problem was that it was overpriced because of a certain pop star being in town when I stayed there.

Booked a double room at the YHA when I tried to find affordable accommodation during the Australian Open. I haven’t stayed in a YHA since the 1990s and I can’t remember why. It’s so easy. The location is fantastic - in the CBD a short walking distance to everything in the city and Southbank. The room & ensuite were clean and the bed comfortable. It is slclose by a lot of late night eateries and venues, and there are common areas for relaxing, there’s a bar and for an extra charge you can have breakfast. There is a communal kitchen. I would happily stay here again. So convenient for exploring Melbourne. Loved it.

The room was very hot and stuffy, the small air con did nothing except move warm air around. Balcony door was locked, couldn't open for fresh air. Impossible to sleep all night. I wouldn't recommend.

Dear Michael,Thank you for reviewing your recent stay at Melbourne Central YHA.We are sorry that we could not replace your bedding when you initially asked as it was a busy weekend and you had only been staying a few days at the time. Once we were able to do so we did remake your bedding which was still under a 7 day stay which we do not typically do. Sincerely,Melbourne Central YHA

Good place for a quick overnight stay, but given it's proximity to major rail lines was extremely noisy. If you're planning on sleeping before 2am, bring ear plugs. Otherwise, room was basic but clean, and bed was comfortable. Kitchen and common areas well equipped and staff very obliging. Easy access to public transport and less than 10 minutes walk to city centre. Food and essentials close by. Would stay again with ear plugs :-)

Great location. Easy access. However, the CBD area might not be the best part of Melbourne. There is room for improvement on the cleanness. The staff are super nice and helpful.

Great location, clean, good facilities
First off, the bathrooms are top notch clean. There seemed to have been a problem on my 3rd day there with one of the stalls being locked, but overall it was much, much cleaner than my last hostel. Second, the downstairs was nice and roomy with lots of tables. The staff is very friendly there and helpful as well. The only knock against it would be the wifi not being available anywhere except the first floor unless you pay for premium. On top of that, the free wifi is slow so if you are planning on working or uploading anything, I would probably not recommend it. Regarding the comfort of the room, they are very spacey rooms which is nice. The only issue is the bed. The bunk beds are squeaky and can get quite noisy which is an issue when you are coming in late at night. In addition, either the mattress or the support is weak so my mattress would cave in. If you have back problems, this is probably not the hostel for you. Overall, great hostel and highly recommended.
