Pour moi, le meilleur hostel que j’ai fait

J’ai passé plusieurs nuits dans une chambre de 6 lits (filles seulement). La chambre n’était pas trop petite, on avait des grands casiers pour y mettre nos affaires. Les salles de bain sont semi-privatives et ça c’est super cool. À chaque étage il y avait des pièces avec soit juste un toilette, soit juste une douche, soit les deux. À part que tout l’étage y a accès, tu as la pièce pour toi seul lorsque tu y es et ça ça change des salles de bain partagées. Tu peux avoir et changer ta service tous les jours sans devoir payer. La cuisine avait tous les équipements nécessaires ! Première fois qu’il y a 2 fours dans une cuisine d’hostel. Il y a avait un accès en terrasse pour manger dehors ou en intérieur. Au 8ème étage le rooftop donne une vue incroyable sur les buildings et il y a même un jacuzzi. L’hostel propose le samedi des bbc gratuits et le dimanche un petit dej. Vraiment sympa. Le personnel est tres accueillant et aidant. Très bien localisé près des transports en commun, il est facile de se déplacer depuis l’hostel. Je recommande à 100% et lors de mon prochain passage à Melbourne je sais déjà que je reviendrais ici.
