2-Star Hotels in Victoria, Australia

Although we were driving on local trails at night, the road surface was fine. Pay attention to the roadside prompts. There were many wild kangaroos wandering in groups on the road, so drive slowly. Beware of kangaroos standing in the road and staring at the car. The campground was very satisfied, although the flight was delayed and arrived at midnight. But the administrator took care of all the procedures and thoughtfully packaged the bathing token. Although the room was an RV, it was hygienic and clean. The towels were very comfortable. The next day I was woken up by the noise of a parrot. This is a real sanctuary with flocks of parrots and other birds. Unfortunately, there were strong winds and heavy rain, so we didn’t see the koala. Would go again. In the freezing rain, thank you! An elderly tourist took me to the administrator's residence. I will remember his appearance and enthusiasm throughout my life.

Definitely not the best hostel I've been too but not the worst either. However I wouldn't recommend as a female guest. First, they take a photo of you upon check in. I don't know if this is customary in Australia but if it was up to me I wouldnt be willing to provide it (it is stated on trip.com upon booking though, I guess I just missed it). Second... I'm not making any claims here but inside the female bathrooms, there are tiny holes on the walls and doors. They could totally be harmless, but as someone living in Korea where those holes in public bathrooms mean something harmful to women... I wouldn't risk staying at such a place ever again now that I know. Now for the facility review... There was 1 working bathroom with 2 toilets & 2 shower booths on my floor, but it probably wasnt too crowded, I never had to wait to shower. Hot water came out just fine. Would give a 7/10 for cleanliness... There were 2 hair dryers only 1 of which was working. The location is very good, walking distance to all CBD landmarks (very near South Cross Station & tram station right outside the door). Which also means that it gets noisy at night with the noise from the train running. You can either close the window (which I heard is very heavy) and live with the stuffy smell, or leave the window open and live with the noise. Cant do both. Amenities... what do I say? I got a key to enter the room & the bathroom. The beds werent numbered so you just get your room number and hop on whichever bed that seemed... fresh. A bed with a blanket, pillow, and curtain for privacy. That was all. They did provide free towels when I asked later. Inside the shared bathroom, there was 1 gel provided inside the shower booth, not sure if it was shower gel or shampoo... I do believe there is plenty room for improvement. Starting from the holes in the shower booths..

I had a very comfortable stay here and I was surprised at the standard. It seems that it's had a make over recently as everything seems new looking and fresh. The staff member that checked me in was friendly, efficient and willing to assist me with a small issue with my booking. Access is easy, even outside trading hours. I will stay here again sometime. I would say it's also great value. Thank you !

Melbourne City Backpackers is a top pick for solo budget travelers like me exploring Melbourne. Centrally located near Southern Cross Station and Queen Victoria Market, it's perfect for hopping on trams or the SkyBus from the airport, and just a short trip to Phillip Island penguins. Friendly staff shared insider tips on local cafes and sights, while the free breakfast kickstarted my days. The spacious dorms came with lockers (bring your own padlock), power outlets, and decent cleanliness—common areas stayed sociable without feeling chaotic. Kitchen facilities were well-equipped for self-catering on a student budget. Only minor downsides: street noise at night (earplugs helped) and no elevator, so pack light. Overall, unbeatable value at ~$30/night—highly recommend for backpackers wanting convenience and vibe! 9/10.

Entry is easy to find and friendly staff with pre-served keys in box for late arrival. Room is very tidy and clean with sufficient space, nice wooden lookout and little yard, was a nice stay here, recommend!

Great value option to stay in Melbourne, confortable rooms, shared bathrooms but they have been renovated recently, shared small kitchen too. We enjoyed a lot our stay. The area is very good, very well conected with downtown. 100% recomended. Very friendly, welcoming and helpful staff.

The staff at help desk and helpful, gave clear info. Checked in at 6pm no issue, great having the help desk be open 24/7. The entry/cafe/front desk area had a small smell of cigarettes. Bed was comfortable and clean, only carpet was a bit dirty and the room smelled on mixed scents, primarily body odour, mixed shared room so not hostels issue just individuals different smells, ventilation was ok but would not recommend a windowless room with the scents issue. Guests seemed of a young adult demographic: Lots of young, foreign, Door Dash/Uber Eats workers. Bathroom/toilet amenities were sufficient but shower stream was changing from warm to cold water, which would be terrible if it was in the winter, but only slightly uncomfortable in the warmer month of December. Good option for securing luggage you don’t want to keep in the shared rooms.

The manager was very nice, the hotel rooms are located at 2/F but he is willing to help with the luggage carry even without request. The hotel location is fantastic, only 20-30 mins to Melbourne central (one tram only after you get the skybus from airport as well). supermarket, restaurant, cafe, gelato shop around as well. Clean, big room, nice toilet&restroom, nice kitchen, nice laundry. Highly recommend that hotel, definitely my priority choice if I come to Melbourne again. The only bad side is the room at 2/F that you have to carry your stuff up and down if you buy lots of things. And watch out especially in rainy day as it’s a metal stair.

入口在主街上 門牌很大很容易找。自助入住很方便 ，有語音協助， 房間裏有小廚房，冰箱裏有牛奶，每個房間門口配一個車位，各位方面都很人性化，下次路過還會住。

Great place for $ spent
