Hostel was really unclean, and there was a strong smell in the rooms. We stayed there for 4 nights, last night we stayed there was extremely loud music being played in the bar downstairs till around 4:00am. Free breakfast is OK, if you'd like some cereal or some toast. Don't try the coffee worst one I've ever had. Location is... More

On the plus side: cheap, free (small) breakfast, good location and friendly staff. On the minus side: Dirty, noisy beds, bad and few bathrooms, broken shower and few power outlets per room. For the price I could accept it. Would however not strongly recommend.

Stayed here with my partner. Location-wise, this hostel is hard to beat as it is only a few minutes walk to anywhere in the central city with plenty of tram/bus stops nearby. Staff were friendly. It could get a little noisy in the weekends but we were up on the third (top) floor so wasn't affected by this as much... More

Stayed 2 & 3rd November 2012. From the outside you would be wondering "what have I done".. but you shouldnt judge a book by its cover with this accomadation. Rooms are located above pub and require a security card to access hostel. There is also securtiy all night down stairs. Rooms are clean and large enough to fit guests and... More

Hostel requires guests to surrender photo ID at check-in, it's against the law for anyone but the RTA or police to demand the surrender of a driver's licence. I needed ID to attend the concert I was in town for so the staff forced me to return my room key or pay a $50 deposit. When I returned to the... More

Stayed at the exford a few months ago with some friends, we live a few hours from melbourne so came up for the saturday night to go out. I initially chose the exford for its location but was plesently suprised by just how great it was. At first glance it looks a bit dodgy (walking towards it one of my... More

Our window wouldn't shut (in the middle of winter) so we ended up having to wear half our clothes to bed. There was a knife fight in the alley below our room the night we stayed there and the noise was just horrendous! The beds were uncomfortable and didn't feel clean- We were grateful we brought sleeping bags. There were... More

This place was good value and has a nice location near the city centre. It is located over a bar - you check in at the bar. The rooms were fine but quite warm because there was no air conditioning. The kitchen is good but you have to rent utensils which is annoying. Breakfast of cereals and toast is included.... More

The good things about this hostel is the location, that's it's cheap and that it's breakfast included in the price. But it's not worth it. I'm happy that we just stayed there for two nights. I would have prefered just one. The hallways are SOOO dirty and the bath rooms are very thorn down, SMALL, and not to clean... The... More
