Discovery Melbourne (Formerly Hotel Discovery) in Melbourne, Australia

The only reason why it gets a pretty high score is the location and the staff.When you first come in it looks awesome but thats it,anywhere out of the lobby is a huge dissapointment.The reason why I picked it was sleep and with the heat that just wasnt possible.We had one fan in the room and it wasnt working,I was in the 4th flor,imagine the temperatures!The elevator was broken most of my stay and the Wi-Fi gives u a headache,new sever obviously isn't good!The staff is nice,liked the caffe.

The Hostel has a nice location for exploring the city by foot, bus or rail. The amenities are ok, not suburb, but there are plenty of big communal rooms. And the complimentary breakfast is a good chance to fuel up for the day. People were nice. All in all good. Sven, from Germany ~ 7th Feb 2013

I am searching for cheaper private accommodation, i mean just for one person. Martin, from Sweden ~ 6th Feb 2013

The atmosphere of the hostel wasn't good at all but the location was great and for just staying a night, it was ok. Sara, from Sweden ~ 30th Jan 2013

Awesome place and staff! Only criticism I have is that the wifi is absolutely terrible( which is aggravating), the mens bathroom on the 1st floor smells like a portable toilet, and the room was way too small for 12 people. It smelled like the combination of sweat and dirty shoes, especially around bed time! Duco, from Netherlands ~ 21st Jan 2013

Quite good location, near to tram lines to the city centre. Very bad wifi, I haven't ever seen it working in five days I was there, and anyway as staff said it works just in the main room at the entrance, no wifi in rooms, just 4 working sockets in a 12 beds-dormitory, no sockets in bathrooms to shave or dry hairs, such a terrible warm at night in rooms that was almost impossible sleep. Good breakfast included, and helpful staff, nothing to complain about that. Lorenzo, from Italy ~ 24th Dec 2012

they say free wifi when the wifi isnt free!! the wifi doesnt even work! .. there are birds yes birds flying around the kitchen pidgeons and sparrows landing on the work surfaces and on the hob cooker where your cooking the place is filthy, a cockroach on the table we were sitting at!.. mould all up the showers all over the ceilings the place stinks and the private rooms are like a shoe box with not even a mirror or aircon for over $500 a week! .. DONT STAY HERE PLEASE READ THIS AND STAY CLEAR lucy, from England ~ 2nd Dec 2012
