The room was comfortable for some place to sleep in. It was very central and close to tram stops.

Excellent position but room without sunlight

Good hostel with excellent central position near Southern Cross Station. Reception 24/7, shared bathrooms. The room unfortunately was not too big and had a window but with absolutely no sunlight coming in, too dark there was not much air exchange. Air felt very dusty.
Overall would recommend mostly for the position and the 24/7 reception.

Hello. We just want to thank you for leaving such a wonderful review. We are also thrilled you enjoyed your stay.
We are sorry for the lack of sunlight to your room. Being in the CBD area makes guaranteeing sunlight impossible for every room. This is why we installed the lights for each bed in the shared rooms.
We do hope to see you again soon.
Kind regards,
Broc

Zero care given

Good location
Basic check in
Zero service
Goods got stolen and staff couldn't care less nor respond in a timely manner.
Unhelpful management to check who took my stuff. I travel lots, hotels & hostels globally and never had such thing happen. No one takes responsibility, they blame it on the guests cause that's the easy way out. Fat out. I suggest they google the word hospitable.

Foul

Second stay at this place and should have known better. As a solo traveller one tends to accept being put where there is a space despite booking Six months in advance however my room was filled with piles of unwashed smelly clothing . A bed was co shared with workers and never empty , One sleeping in the day, one at night. Neither washer. The smell was such that when I opened the door to allow some fresh air in, the people walking by were holding their noses it was so bad. Another delighted in coughing up mucus in the bin. The room was in my view never cleaned. Avoid at all costs.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear about your experience during your recent stay at YHA Melbourne Central.
What you’ve described regarding room hygiene, odour, and shared room behaviour is absolutely not acceptable and does not reflect the standards we aim to maintain for our guests. We fully understand how distressing and uncomfortable this situation would have been, particularly as a solo traveller, and we sincerely apologise that this was your experience.
Cleanliness of dorm rooms and appropriate use of shared spaces are priorities for us, and it is concerning to hear that the room condition and guest behaviour were not addressed adequately. Your comments have been escalated to our housekeeping and management teams for immediate review so we can investigate what occurred and ensure corrective action is taken.
We regret that we did not meet expectations on this occasion and that your stay left such a negative impression. Thank you for bringing this to our attention — feedback like this, while difficult to hear, is important in helping us improve.
Kind regards,
Kevin
