Very clean for a hostel type accommodation. convenient location. I stayed in a 4 bed dorm with private bathroom, so can;t comment on the bigger dorms. YMMA It was rather loud thou on a sat night. Not sure whether the noise was from its own pub or somewhere else. there was only 1 double electrical outlet to serve 4 of us, thus knocking 1 star off the amenities rating.
Auberge agréable, les sanitaires sont très propres, le linge de lit également.
Un grand casier que vous pouvez fermer avec un cadenas vous appartenant est disponible dans chaque chambre.
Toutefois dans la chambre le chauffage ne marchait pas et une fenêtre ne se verrouillait pas ce qui faisait une rentrée d’air... il a fait très froid pendant les deux nuits !
Une grande cuisine est disponible, elle est bien équipée et très propre.
Une caution de 10$ vous sera demandé en liquide contre la remise de la carte qui permet d’ouvrir la chambre et accéder à l'ascenseur.
It was clean and comfortable. The staff were nice and friendly. It’ll be even better if they can specify on what terms WiFi will be free and otherwise how much it’ll cost before booking. Because I just saw “free wifi” on hotels.com but it wasn’t free for me actually.
Had a wonderful stay over night at the Urban, the reception staff were very helpful, the room was very clean and comfortable. Only complaint is that the outside noise was annoying! but other than that I really enjoyed the stay thank you.
The central location was amazing for the price that we paid

Disappointed in the quality of the room for what I paid for it. Very basic furnishings. Big crack in wall near window. Needs sprucing up. Bed very comfy, though. Bathroom nice and clean.

Rummet var helt OK och facilitetera likaså men det låg ovanför en pub med mkt hög ljudnivå under halva natten..
Fantastic stay . Right from arriving we felt welcomed. So close to crown plaza . Supermarket 2 mins walk and McDonalds right across road . Room had evertything we needed . Central melbourne it was . Would reccomend for budget acccomodation 😀
Faulty Smoke alarm went off 3 times between 3 & 4 am This would have not been so bad if there was not an extra $100 sur charge on the room because it was an event weekend in Melbourne

Close to CBD, perfect for family weekend
Comfortable stay with a couple of issues that staff were more than happy to help with. Perfect family room.
Well if you book a fifth floor hotel room on a sat night and expect to sleep you won’t. The downstairs nightclub music goes through the whole building until 1am. The next room group came home at 530am and turned their own music on. No phone call answered at reception, went downstairs and found a security guard at 630am who shut them up. If it’s too loud I’m too old? No sorry. A building full of partying Millennials who were not smacked as kids don’t give a toss about other guests but themselves. Want to sleep, go somewhere else, want to party, great place to do that.
Despite the 2 stars we decided to book the place because of the high rating from other guests. The room was small and the air con/heater machine is loud and not working well. Shower is timed.. so if you can afford paying some more I would not recommend staying here.
