Tucked away on a side street around the corner from Prahran station, this hotel is worth staying at. The rooms are comfortable and have all the necessities provided. Only 3 stops to Melbourne city by train, plenty of food and drink places to check out, and has a bar and restaurant downstairs. Staff are really nice and check in was easy and personable, shared kitchen and bathrooms were kept clean and no dramas.

This hostel is a really well located, the neighborhood it’s really lovely and near to the public transport services. Just is important to consider that underneath the hostel is pleased a really nice local pub and, mainly in Friday and Saturday, can be a little bit noisy.

I liked that the people staying there or backpacking in the area were super nice, also the staff, I asked for an orange juice down at the pub under the hotel, (connected to the hotel) and when I realised I would t get much because of the small cup they said they could just make it a large to say thanks for staying, really would recommend, but the bed being two singles put together makes it hard to sleep in the middle and hog the bed,

Room was ok initially but found an old dominoes box and other junk under the bed when I was leaving. The rest of the place is filthy and often the bathroom as well.
