Flinders Backpackers

Amazing experience. You’re not far from the train station, state library, casino, even the stadium was within walking distance for those unafraid of a stroll. Staff were friendly and helpful. Of course it’s luck of the draw but we had different roommates both nights and they were all respectful top lads. Kitchen and communal areas looked nice and inviting though we didn’t use them. Rooms were quite bare bunk rooms but nice and clean, standard affair for a hostel. Make sure to bring a padlock for the lockers, we were able to fit two small duffel bags in there, so quite reasonable for valuables. We really appreciated the Yellow Submarine decor in our floor. Amazing hostel for the price and location.

Was a great place really loved my stay. The only thing is a lot of people really life here. So if you just for a short stay and you book a 2 persons room like i did please be aware that there is a big possibility that your roommate lifes in the room and there is stuff everywhere. Other then that its amazing the staff is doing everything and beyond.

Great central location, lovely staff and clean rooms/bathrooms. The only downsides are that the walls in the rooms are thin so you can hear if someone is using the hand dryers in the bathroom and the temperature in the showers is really hard to master. You either have it super hot or super cold and it changes inbetween while you shower. Regardless of these points I still had an overall great stay here.

Location is IDEAL! The staff are THE BEST and work SO hard to keep the place clean and truly want to engage with you in a positive/efficient way; pick their brain about what to do, how to move in Melbourne, or anything really. This hostel is a VIBE! Dope common area with free pool, sweet dining space, rooftop cafe, great modern open kitchen & variety of rooms with reasonable prices and everything you need. Met some really cool people here and highly recommend you get in touch with “Sam” who’s the social engineer of good times!! THANK YOU FLINDERS!!! <3

Best Hostel you’ll ever get. Extremely affordable. Staff will jump at the chance to make your stay pleasant. Awesome workspace upstairs with a cafe. Dorms are even greater if you’re above level 4, where it’s all been renovated. Plenty of privacy, and always clean.

Is the most noisie place that i never been , sleep is imposible. There's no rules about quite and every body keeps opening and closing doors all the night . There's also inly six UNISEX toilets per floor for more than. Ten rooms in a floor so they are constantly busy and dirty because lucky they clean them once a day . The location is super noisy as well but close to the funny places. I felt that is over crowded this place and got crazy without sleeping for two days. The pictures of the rooms are not what they show.

The rooms are good, place is clean, in general is a nice place, is the third time I stay here and always rates good. This time putting 2 stars because even though they do tell you it might be sometimes noisy because of the location, I believe they should tell you once you arrive, that one side of the hostel is facing a night construction from 11 to 3am, so you could choose maybe to pay more and move rooms or even get a discount if you have a room on that side of the hotel

Does the job. Arrived there as my first hostel in Australia. Very big and impersonal. The common areas are not very comfy/inviting. Everybody is just doing their own thing. Bathrooms are clean. Showers run cold in the morning on the top floors. Kitchen is quite busy, but cleaned pretty well during the day. If you have already been in Melbourne for a long time it’s probably good value for money. If you’re just arriving, I would recommend choosing a smaller hostel in Fitzroy or St Kilda, where it’s easier to meet other people.
