After finding this place from the airport (public transit made this really easy to do), I was greeted by a VERY helpful staff. I stayed in the 6-person dorm and got to meet some really cool people. The bathrooms were clean and the place is super close to the train station. I would recommend this hostel for anyone staying in Melbourne for a few days. Benjamin, from USA ~ 13th Feb 2012

This is a great place to start your day tours in inner Melbourne and there are loads of places to go to around the hostel, especially Chapel Street is the place to be !!! Karsten, from Germany ~ 14th Jan 2012

Good things first: Breakfast is included and good. However, the walls are probably made of paper, the noise in the hotel is unbearable. The rooms are, even for a cheap hotel/guesthouse, very tiny, we were not even able to place both of our backpacks on the floor. The clearmont is located in south yarra (outside of the center), but the good public transport of Melbourne allows you to reach the city center easily. Arriving after midnight, the night clerk was very helpful with everything. Patrick, from Switzerland ~ 2nd Jan 2012

This "Guest House" is what I would describe as "not knowing what it wants to be"... It is not a Hotel and it is not a Hostel. Yes, it has a kitchen but not any way to cook. No stove, no cooking appliances etc. It has a microwave and some plates. We stayed in a twin room which was so small that you had to walk in and "reverse" out. You can not be in the room at the same time without one having to stay in the bed. Window was bolted so you could not open it more than 0.1 meters, i.e. no fresh Stefan, from Sweden ~ 11th Jan 2012

Excellent Value - Good Breakfast which is included in the price - as well as free wi fi. Situated in a great safe location it is about a 45 min walk to the centre however a train station is on your door step.I would say if possible try and get yourself located on the 2nd floor as it is less noisy (banging from above) overall 9.5 / 10. Getting a bathroom is never a problem 2 bathrooms are shared between 7 or 8 rooms Jamie, from Scotland ~ 22nd Dec 2011

The property was well located, convenient access to the metro. It took me about half an hour to get to the airport. The staff was friendly and able to give me recommendations about what to do. Also, free wifi and (spartan) breakfast. Ravi, from USA ~ 28th Nov 2011

I liked that it was very cheap, it was close to the train station and the bathrooms were cleaned to a very high standard a few times a day. The staff were also very very friendly and helpful. There was also a complementary breakfast every morning. The rooms however were a tad small and could hear noise from up the hall due to thin walls. Its a reasonably old building.But we were both happy with it overall. Niall, from Ireland ~ 7th Nov 2011
