MENG-HUA, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I liked the quietness in the living quarters. I liked the amenities in the reception area and the fact that each new visitor was offered a free drink.
MARK, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Well run and clean property with few signs of wear and tear despite high usage. Bathrooms were clean and air-circulation was good. Only the kitchen ficilities let things down slightly due to high usage (taps loose in their fittings, communal scouring pads need more frequent replacement - one microwave was inoperable). But would definitely stay again.
Ben, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Friendly staff, easy to walk to supermarket, state library, Melbourne central in 10mins, breakfast at hungry jack is just a 5mins walk, queen Victoria market is closer in 4 mins walk at the left side of the hostel building. Pay car parking in front of the hostel.

Public areas are well maintained, staff are super helpful and generous. Got upgraded a couple of times. Love that they have a gym room, a tiny one but good enough for a hostel.

8/10 Very good

good stuff, beds are pretty decent, and everyone seems to respect the rules of being quite at night. Paiden was also a nice gal who helped me Bathrooms are a bit dirty, and some of the residents didnt respect the cleanliness of the bathroom and didnt help keep it clean
