Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • No pets allowed — The hostel does not permit pets, so you'll need to plan for alternative care for your animal.
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only available from 14:00 to 23:59, so late arrivals may miss the window unless pre-arranged.
  • Shared bathrooms in some rooms — While clean, some rooms use shared bathroom facilities, which may not suit everyone.
  • Distance from the CBD — Though well-connected by tram, the hostel is about 3 km from the National Gallery of Victoria and not in the very heart of the city.
