Melbourne Central YHA

Internet is exceptionally fast with 260MBit/s up and down. Showers were ok. It's close to a rail track with very thin windows so I had a bad sleep. You've got lockers and our 4 bed room had 5 plugs (none near the bed or locker). You'll lose access to the room at 10am sharp, so don't forget anything.

Excellent location, super clean, quiet, amazing shared place that we could have access to. They organized wide range of activities. Also the private room was perfect for the price.

While the staff at YHA Melbourne were absolutely wonderful and accommodating, I have to express some concerns about the room conditions. The bed frames felt quite old and emitted an annoying squeak with the slightest of movements. There was noticeable mold on the windows, which doesn't sit well for health reasons. It's worth noting that the windows aren't double-glazed, which might be the reason for the prominent noise from public transport. Additionally, there was a constant sound, which I couldn’t decipher whether it was from AC motors or perhaps an electric pump. Also, a heads up for future guests - you might be charged more if you don't book directly through their website. Despite these issues, I'd like to reiterate that the staff were truly a highlight of the stay.

I'm downgrading my review to 3 stars for this 2nd stay of mine at YHA Melbourne Central for the following main reasons:

- the check in process is not as smooth as other YHA branches like YHA Sydney Harbour

- I faced the loudest snorer I ever faced in my entire life.it was so bad I eventually gave up & went to the ground floor and spent the night sitting on a chair instead & was too tired to travel during the day & the reception is closed after 11 pm. Now is this something YHA has no control over? I think no, YHA Melbourne Central could have given disposable ear plugs to its guests to reduce the pain from this experience.

Not looking forward to my subsequent nights (s) here

The most competitive lodging in my opinion.
I'm getting along well with my child.
I have to come again haha

The location was amazing But The room smelled a bit. And also we can cook here in kitchen everything always

Had a private room. Nice and clean. Centrally located so you could walk almost anywhere you needed to go.

As young women travelling by ourselves for the first time, my friend and I were cautious about staying in a hostel. Once we arrived at YHA however, we were immediately at ease because of the kind staff and range of activities and shared spaces we had access to. Amazing location right next to a tram stop in the free tram zone, and the private room we shared was perfect for the price. Definitely will stay at YHA again and would recommend to absolutely anyone!

Very noisy room close to the railway
Terrible bed super squeaky, shaking like hell when the other move
Definitely the worst YHA experience
2 stars for the price and location

Such a beautiful hotel stay! The staff were so helpful and friendly. The room was so clean and spacious. So nice. The bed was super comfy and the breakfast the next day was delicious. Can't fault our stay. We will be back!

Really a fun experience loving here. Near flinders and crown, feels like the perfect location.

The customer service was the best, very friendly staff, rooms were very neat and tidy and it was very affordable.

Great location near Southern Cross Station, loved the rooftop (perfect spot to relax)

Stayed here at the end of December 2022 in the lead up to Christmas. Facilities were extra clean; room was nice and comfortable (although the bed I was in did creak a fair bit and it was a little dark). Rooftop area was great, when the Melbourne weather played ball.

Reception was 24/7 so able to assist me after my flight in was delayed and didn't arrive until 1am.

Only complaint I'd have is they'd do cleaning in the mornings, so the bathrooms were unavailable around 8am, which is highly inconvenient given checkout is 10am.

Very loud and hard to sleep because of maim train station outside. Dirty shower with hair in there the whole week i stayed. Not enough room in fridges to put food. But its a hostel! You stay for the cheapness, the location, and to make connections.

Better book directly to save a bit. Its decent but the site i booked in is misleading. I spent more than I expected just to get the private room but glad that the reception is really easy to talk to and very helpful so i still give a 4 star despite being disappointed.

One of the better YHA hostels. Small but tidy rooms. Super friendly and helpful staff. One of the most interesting YHA locations of all, in an old Victorian-style hotel.

The YHA is well-located and nicely-clean (except in the kitchen where the guests don't tidy up). Good offer of non- and free of charge tours. Kind staff. The wifi is good to download, but weak to upload. All in all a good adress.

I just got from there. I called before go there to know if they have a room. And the guy said yes. When i got there the receptionist looked at me and said we are full. I have never been passed through this. Thanks yha.

Would be 5 stars but the rooms are pretty tired and need to be redone but apart from that the rest of the hostel was clean and tidy. Kitchen was big and we never had a problem with finding space to cook. Have to pay for lockers to stare bags before we checked in as we arrived a couple hours too early but it wasn’t very expensive

Great accommodation, great staff amazing location. Very clean and well looked after. Love the little bar downstairs
