I love the atmosphere of YHA Melbourne. So many different travelers of all ages. Great open plan commercial kitchen that connects to the dining area so you feel connected to others while preparing food. Easy to use affordable lockers and just around the corner from Southern Cross Station making rail and airport connections so easy. Free trams outside the door for getting around Melbourne. The private en-suite room was a little bit expensive I thought at $192 for the night. Apart from that it suited my purpose of going to the Australian Open.

The location YHA Melbourne is absolutely great, just 10 min walk away from southern cross station and the staffs are always nice. The problem is, the dorms are very basic, you got your own bunk and locker, that’s all hahaaa

Would stay here again! Nice people and good vibes. If you want them to store your bags, you have to pay $5-6 for 4 hours and $10-12 for 24 hours.
