The staff were super friendly and helpful. The premises and rooms were fairly clean and fresh. We got a great discount so the price was great for Melbourne with a family of 4. The atmosphere was friendly and full of excited back packers. The downside was the noise. We barely slept because there was a loud refrigeration type motor that kept switching on and off all night. And there was a man who was yelling somewhere nearby (it felt like underneath our window) all night at random intervals as well. Otherwise it would have been a good cheap accommodation option.

Great experience!
Nicest hostel I’ve stayed in! Very clean and well managed. Would stay here again. Only downside is that the bathroom doors make a lot of noise when you open them so that would wake me up in the middle of the night since the walls to the hallway are very thin.

Bed, room, lounge is comfy. Problem is they didnt have a fan for when the temperature is warm so there's a bit of struggle there. Also its a bit noisy when other rooms shut their door specially at night. Youll hear it all from bed. Otherwise its all not too bad.
