The Mansion Melbourne

Staff was great, very friendly. Cute that they give you a bag for kitchen food.

As a single the price of the single room was way overpriced. I thought there mention of a balcony. Reception hours were not great although tHey do have a number to call.

Fantastic location and very well kept. Rooms were nice and curtains around bed were a nice touch for a little privacy.

Great helpful staff. Provided earplugs and food storage bags, and useful towel hire option. Beds and facilities seemed reasonably clean.

Felt like I had vertigo as the whole building felt uneven. Not very many bathroom/shower facilities - and temperature from shower would fluctuate. Not fully private between beds. Very small lockers cannot even fit a backpack. Bunk beds made loud noise and moved around a lot when shifting position and climbing onto top bunk. Very small kitchen and crammed food storage space. No “quiet zone” to chill out in.

Location well placed between the CBD and FitzroyNot crowded as some hostels 4 desks for computering downstairsLovely garden area with benches and chairs

Private rooms for 2 are small sized.Only 2 sinks in the kitchen so can be a queue sometimes to use for dishwashing

In general the hostel is very clean. Toilets, showers, rooms, kitchen, and the fridges to store food. They give you two plastic bags with your name on it to store food, I loved that. There is also enough space to store food outside the fridge. You will have your own basket. I also love that the kitchen has an induction cooktop. Ladies and gentlemen showers

Sometimes it can get very hot in the rooms and there is no air-conditioning. There are fans, which helps.I find it very expensive for what it is, but I also understand Melb/ aussie prices.

People here are really friendly and staff are super attentive. The kitchen is cleaned for an hour every day from 11-12 and fridges are cleaned once a week, so that's good. If you've got an issue, they are very helpful and will do a lot for you.

The only issue with the otherwise good location is the noise, being adjacent to St Vincent's Hospital and a main road means car noise and emergency sirens pretty frequently. Considering there is no aircon (although rooms stay pretty cool), open windows at night could be difficult for light sleepers.

Everything went well, I arrived on Christmas Day with clear instructions for check-in for if there was no staff present (but there was someone anyway). Location just outside the CBD, in a nice historic building.

Location, comfy bed

Very overpriced and high charge for later checkin. Not enough showers for each floor and they didn’t really work either

Great location, two blocks from the last free tram zone stop - Albert St/ Nicholson St #10. Catch tram 86 or 96 from Southern Cross Station. Beautiful building. Clean bathrooms. Friendly staff.

The building is along a busy main road with a lot of traffic noise, free earplugs are available at reception. Towels provided were musty.

Location was good, beds were comfortable, you get 2 pillows which is nice. They provide pre-labelled bags for food which was convenient.

The listing mentions air conditioning in every room, but upon arriving I was told it was only on the top floor? There is no lift, so I had to cary a heavy bag up multiple flights of stairs. The staircases look grand, but creak, and feel crooked, I was a bit worried about their stability. Pictures are not dishonest, but have not shown the sections of wall in need of painting/repair. The shared bathroom was on a different floor to my room which was very inconvenient.

location and staff

i think the cleanliness overall

Very good located and the Hostel is everywhere super clean, great Kitchen

There was no Pre-Information thats completly forbitten to drink any alcohol in the Hostel at all

This was my first time traveling to Australia, and although I had originally booked accommodation elsewhere, a friend of mine from Queenstown, New Zealand strongly recommended that I stay at The Mansion instead. I’m genuinely glad I followed her advice, because it turned out to be the right choice.The hostel has a really pleasant atmosphere. Right at check‑in, I was given labeled bags to store my food, which was a thoughtful touch. The reception area is full of useful information, and the outdoor garden gets plenty of sunshine, surrounded by leafy streets that make the whole place feel welcoming. The location is good as well, right across from the Melbourne Museum park, with everything easily accessible on foot or by public transport.My stay was very enjoyable. The staff were always friendly and helpful, and one morning they even made waffles for all the guests. It was such a nice gesture and created a good moment of interaction with other travelers.Overall, I had a wonderful stay and would happily return.

If I had to mention one area for improvement, it would be the size of the dining table areas, which could be a bit more spacious. However, I completely understand that this is due to the building’s layout, and it didn’t affect my experience in any negative way.

Great location and very cool building. A lot of very friendly and social people which builds a great atmosphere - so far my best stay in Australia by far! Common areas are also kept clean and tidy

The bedrooms tend to get quite messy - as in every hostel with long term guests. Also the street is noisy with traffic all day long, which can make sleeping difficult

Staffs, room mates, the yard

Close to public transport and short ride to Sydney

No lifts, I was on L2 It’s not ideal for elderly person Overall good place to live

Everything! The staff is absolutely amazing, the rooms are spacious and clean and so are all of the shared places and you get the best location and vibes in Melbourne!It's my second home now

The property is nice, the bed very comfortable and warm also they have a small curtains but is fine. The kitchen has the basic things like oil, tea and sugar. Sometimes they put free food in a shelf most of them are spices for cook so you don’t need to worry about this little things when you are travelling

The card should have something to hang or a hook so is not easy to lost or forget that would make my stay better because is a lot of thing you have to remember when you are travelling

Friendly staff and visitors.

The light and the fan in my room are malfunctioning.

So close to St Vincents Fitzroy, just across the road. The double bed was very comfortable. We were lucky enough to use the private bathroom which was very clean and spacious. Considering when I booked it was more to do with the proximity to St Vincents, we were pleasantly surprised.

Our room was on the second floor, no lift. I certainly wouldn't want to have too much luggage.
