At budget city hotels, the base rate doesn't always cover the little everyday essentials, and you might get charged extra at check-in. Take a minute to read the booking fine print and tally up the real total with potential fees for cleaning, breakfast, or air conditioning. If your trip dates aren't set in stone, planning your stay for weekdays can also save you a fair bit compared to weekend prices.

I am sad about finding this hostel so late to my stay in Melbourne. It’s clean, the curtained beds give you a perfect amount of privacy and darkness so you’re actually able to sleep through the night.
Receptionists are very helpful Jodi has been lovely and very helpful, rooms are kept clean most staff are tenants and traveler, everyone is very helpful and friendly.

It’s a hostel. For 28 bucks a night you really can’t go wrong. They serve a purpose and if you want hotel like service go book a hotel.
