2/10 Terrible

Samuel, Easton

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
This property is listed as a hotel. It has hotel in the name. I booked a room with a queen bed. I arrive to find out it’s a hostel operating under the guise of being a hotel. Kids under 16 years old running around everywhere, bunk bed shared rooms loud at all hours, but for some reason I had reception come to my room twice for noise complaints because of music playing on my phone? Not sure how you can have a private room but not actually be private at all. This was the worst experience I’ve had at a “hotel” in all my years of travel. If their name was space “hostel” I wouldn’t have stayed here. This feel fraudulent and I was conned into a terrible experience in Melbourne. Please take this property off of Expedia, leave it on Hostelworld

Everything works perfectly as always. Best set up. The silly young groups difficult und messy at times. My Medical Restrictions were completely forgotten this time, which led to unpleasant event. I've Always written them up front in the requests. And I had to tell a "supervisor" who came and stood over my head and started quarreling with guy trying to work, that she could do it outside the room. An experienced Manager has left, and things a little erratic & unprotected since. Unfortunate.

Great overnight stay and free breaky (Sundays) was a bonus. Lovely staff. The heaters are some what noisy but not enough to keep you up at night and they heated the rooms well. Very convenient location

Mi experiencia fue genial, regresaré

Es un ligar agradable y perfecta vista desde la azotea. Tiene espacios muy bien definidos. El gym, el cine, y la cocina. Aparte los baños son individuales, eso lo hace más cómodo y limpio. ♥️ Estuve en una habitación semiprivada de 4 camas. Fue cómodo y agradable. Lo recomiendo para estar en Melbourne y conocer la city. Muy facil acceso al transporte público y a variedad de restaurantes cercanos

Great Hostel , very clean rooms , bathrooms and shower, the bathrooms and showers get cleaned 5 times a day which is excellent, my only gripe was the lack of privacy surrounding the beds there are no curtains to give that small bit of privacy which helps
