We stayed in a family room (1 x queen bed and a bunk bed, sleeps 4). Overall I was very happy with our stay at Urban Central. The staff are friendly, the room was reasonably clean and a decent size, and the breakfast is simple but free!

I found the location to be fantastic - it's just a short walk to the city (or tram ride if you prefer), but the walk is very scenic. Also within walking distance are Clarendon St (shopping and lots of great places to eat) and South Wharf DFO.

I have stayed here a few times over the last 2 years and have always found it to be clean, friendly staff and very cheap place to stay. It is a backpackers hotel but can suit all sorts of people from backpackers to families. prices start from about $24 for a 4 person dorm share room to about $140 for a family room. I have stayed in a dorm share room which has 2 bunks, each bed has a curtain to provide some privacy. Also stayed in a double room which consists of a double bed, ensuite and air conditioning and heating. The rooms are basic but for the price the are excellent value. It has a bar where you can relax for a drink and also offers free breakfast, rice, pasta, tea and coffee in the communal kitchen. Only thing i could fault was it does get a bit loud on weekends when it is pretty much full.

I stayed here last year while down in Melbourne and I had a good experience. The staff were helpful with bag watching and advice/recommendations etc. - I've stayed at hundreds of hostels through Europe and I found this to be up to standard of some of the best in Europe.

Was OK value, rooms were neat and clean. Location isn't too bad.

The room we were in had a wet floor, but wasn't bad enough to make us want to leave/complain.

Would stay again I think
