The Mansion Melbourne

The receptionist was friendly and helpful. Some facility like the kitchen and showers could be better, but I guess it's worth the price. At least it was pretty quiet at night and comfy staying there. The other review was right. Somehow this dorm attracts kind people and I even made a new friend. There are also tram and bus stop nearby.

Absolutely loved staying at The Mansion. The staff was super nice and caring. I felt there is a huge attention to make sure there is respect for other guests so I was able to sleep really well. I felt it spacious and with solid systems in place to manage shared spaces. Internet was strong and stable. The historical building has a beautiful character. not sure if in full season of summer the kitchen might feel a bit too small but overall it was a very pleasant, comfortable and clean place to stay. also super close to the city centre. Price was incredibly good in my experience.

Friendly staff, warm welcome and a great feeling of community among the guests. Kitchen is well equipped, clean bathrooms, three working desks for remote work, a cinema room and a nice outdoor area to relax and eat. Room has been a bit noisy when windows were open due to its location on Victoria parade with a lot of car traffic. Nice parks nearby and good location to explore the city.

I stayed here for two months from March - May 2025 and it was exactly what I needed. It's not a party hostel, and it's managed that way intentionally, so if you're looking to properly get on it and party every night, it isn't the place for you. I think that's what sets it apart and makes it special though - there are plenty of other hostels with a rowdy vibe, but this place has a lot of longer-termers and suits people looking for work and wanting to stay in a more chilled and respectful environment, on the edge of the CBD. It's situated between two beautiful parks, and although it isn't in the hustle and bustle of the city it's nestled in between the CBD and Brunswick Street, so it's really well located. The hostel still has a great, social, community vibe though, and they have a bar that's open on Friday nights until 11pm. The management are super nice and helpful, especially Ash, and overall I'd definitely recommend the place. I met some beautiful people here and loved my stay,

Nice warm welcome upon arrival. Was explained the hotel rules clearly from the start and was offered help at various times for small things. The stairs part is an issue if you have multiple suitcases but they offered to help me. When I dried my clothes using the laundry, it didn't dry the first time so I told the gentleman at the desk who kindly paid for the second time to properly dry as it didn't dry the first time I put the clothes in. ||Its a good vibe to be honest, with the guests very very sociable in either the kitchen or other parts of the hotel.

Location good. Service okay. Private room cold in winter even with the heater. The building is nice from outside and has potential from the inside but definitely needs a lot of refurbishment. Noisy from outside’s busy street which is not their fault but would need to invest in some better windows which you can barely close.

Probably the best hostel in melbourne. Comfortable enough to stay longer than expected. Great staff and it generally attracts good guests for whatever reason. great kitchen amenities. could do with better curtains and upkeep of literally just the curtains. those plastic hooks dont cost much... but very thankful of them for fostering a nice vibe during my time there

Nice place to stay, it's a historical building totally renewed. It's comfortable, has coworking spots, good wifi and people are respectful of sleeping time. Kind staff too. The rooms and bathrooms were clean. The stairs are wonderful wooden ones. It has a bar too but its usually closed.
