Lady Kaye's great time in the Land Down Under”
Most of the very good rating accomo within CBD costs 1200+ php up without the taxes and fees pa but this hostel that I got really nailed it! 900ish php only! Value for money it is. The bed is soft,linens smell clean and for some reason, it gave me the lemme stay in my bed vibes! On my day 2, after I got back from my tour, I slept at 7pm AEST time, next thing I knew, it was already 4am the next day. Haha! I really dozed it off 💤 💤 💤 with flying colors. Ecstatic! And may I add, their comforter is ftw! Its really thin but the feels of it gave me the warmth that I really need for an 8-10 deg at chilly night it is! Hamayzing! Parang thermal blanket ang peg nya. O enough na, baka sabihin nio sponsored nila accomo ko. No its not. Its from my own pocket dear! No money, no honey. Hahaha! (good to know: this United Backpackers Hotel is in the heart of Melbourne CBD -Central Business District) its right in front of the Flinders St Station which is 1 station away from Southern Cross Station

this is quite possibly the greatest review for 2019! Well done!
excellent choice”
I must say I love this place! When I first arrived, was being served by two amazing male staffs and they were so polite and warm. The place looks well-furbished, and the bathroom was cleaned everyday. I manage to meet really nice fellow travellers in the room. They have a bar downstairs that serve good alcohol and music. Happening and fun events everyday ready for you. Their location are superb too! It is very near to the iconic railway station , so don't be afraid; you will never get lost here. It is also few distance away to all the trams in most directions. The backpackers is also strategically located beside one of the famous gelatos and several eateries. If Im gonna be here again, this will definitely be my first choice of stay :) Thanks for the wonderful stay.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED”
If you're a solo traveler, I highly recommend this place. Its very convenient and very close to everything. It's located in the heart of Melbourne's CBD. Just in front of the hostel, you can find Flinders Station, also trams, restaurants, and convenience store. It is also very close to St. Paul's Cathedral, 15 mins walk to Eureka Skydeck and 20 to 30 mins walk to Fitzroy Gardens. If you love to walk, then I highly recommend this place. Rooms are clean too. Whenever I travel, I always make sure that rooms are clean as well as the toilets. I had a goodnight sleep for 3 nights in this backpacker accommodation.

Cheers Lucia!! Awesome review and thanks for staying!
Central Location”
This Hostel greatest advantage is its location. It's at the center of most Melbourne tourist attraction. Near flinders station and degraves st., everything is walkable and within the free tram zone. The room with double bed we got provides enough space for 2 persons with large luggages. The room and surroundings are clean, most specially the bathroom even shared. The pantry is clean as well and has free toast breakfast. The staffs are great and polite too. Definitely worth the stay!

Hey Althea. Thankyou so much for the glowing review :D
What a cool place!”
I was in Melbourne for business and needed somewhere cheap to stay given how pricey some of the accommodation in Melbourne is. Given they have a bar, I had drinks with clients there and my clients loved that it was somewhere different, and a bit more down to earth. Top spot!

Hotel-like room”
Our couples room was simply beautiful and looked like a hotel room. The bathroom was small, but that didn‘t bother us. The location is perfect too. Would definitely recommend. Got the best price booking through Agoda.

Cool”
A mouse ate my bread! I also hated that I had to leave aaaall of my food in the kitchen since mice where everywhere. That's not the hostel's fault though... Bathrooms were clean and nice but outside of the room... Wifi, kitchen, breakfast and beds were nice. People at the room were cool too nice travellers there.

Excellent location & Super SAFE ”
Value for money and place is right opp Flinders Station. About 20mins walk from Southern Cross Stn. Right next to Degraves lane and surrounded by plenty of eateries. Beds were comfortable and bathrooms were clean for a hostel. Everyone was so lovely. Will definitely come back.

Exceptional”
Several accommodation option. You can share your room with as little or as much people as you can tolerate. Free pancakes in the morning. They charge for wifi in the room but there's free access in the common area. For reference, dining area is at the 2nd floor and right beside it is the TV room. The laundry is at the basement past the bar. There's a loft if you make a U-Turn ( to your left ) right after the arcade machine.
