The Mansion Melbourne

I was proper disappointed arriving here. Nothing like pictured on booking.com. Four showers and toilets for a whole floor which were ALWAYS dirty. Only one person of the staff was actually nice, the other ones barely nodded when greeted. Seems like a whole bunch of people are just living there, including one member of staff who seemed rather touchy with multiple male guests. Weird vibes overall. Our room was also wayyyyy too small. We paid for a private room for two, but honestly there was no space to even put our suitcase properly. I wasn't expecting a 5star hotel but this really is not the spot for anyone other then backpackers. Also the fridge system? You get 4 small bags with tags and then you can just put it wherever, and still people will take stuff out of there unfortunately. Perfect location for us, as it was close to city center to explore and MCG where we had to be two days. Would not recommend.

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.
