The Mansion Melbourne

Really appreciated how clean the place was, it makes everything way more comfortable ! I loved that the kitchen, even if not very large, had really a lot of cooking accessories. Very nice staff also. Only thing that isn't ideal are the gathering areas : not so many and not very comfortable. Would recommend to someone who wants to feel like home, and is more interested in being in a normal size hostel rather than party animals.

Great hostel, friendly staff, good location and cleaned every day so very clean! Good atmosphere and met a few lovely people there, its not a super social hostel though and a lot of people are staying there long term so it can be a bit more difficult making friends. Wifi is not the best

The place is nice and has a good location. However, the wifi is really slow and connection falls down constantly. On the bright side, Yuki, the japanese guy was very kind to us and even recommended to visit the beach to watch amazing sunsets, he even speaks spanish!

Had a really great time. Really chill and everything you would need as a backpacker. A second toilet downstairs would be perfect but that's just a minor thing so would strongly recommend anyway!

The Mansion Melbourne Hostel exceeded my expectations on various fronts. The kind staff, impeccable cleanliness, good service, and a strong emphasis on safety made my stay truly comfortable. Additionally, its convenient location close to the city center adds significant value, making it an ideal choice for those looking for both accessibility and a pleasant stay.

People working there are awesome. Hats off for their work done.
The place has a big kitchen with lots of utensils, and a couple of areas for having your meals. It has a TV room and some desks for working with laptop.
Travelers staying there have a good vibe. Everything clean and tidy.
Would recommend.

I had never traveled abroad before, and I was very anxious because I'm not good at English and had never stayed in a hostel. However, Yuki, a very kind staff member from Japan, listened to me and was incredibly helpful. Thanks to Yuki, my first hostel experience turned out to be amazing. Because of Yuki, I felt more comfortable in the hostel than in a hotel. Thank you Yuki🇯🇵☺✨✨✨

Great hostel! I would definitely book here again. Highlights: stayed in a female dorm and everyone was lovely. The different areas to chill in, the kitchen has a big table to sit at, a study area with a few desks, another couple small tables near the stairwell and the tv room. The kitchen had loads of appliances, cutlery, pots and pans to use (also cleaned daily after breakfast time). The rooms were comfortable with a fan but I imagine in peak summer it could get a bit stuffy, the windows open (although no screen for mozzies). Big bathrooms with space inside the shower cubicles to dress, also private showers/bathrooms on level 2. Social and communal vibe, felt safe with myself and my stuff around others. The cafe next door was very nice, good coffee and croissants, and people. There is Thursday night trivia which I didn’t make it to but great idea. The location, 10min walk into the city, close to Melb Museum as well. Parking next door if you’re doing road trip and need to put car somewhere. Thanks The Mansion crew :)

2 mins walk from the tram station. Looks like a historic building with spacious rooms. Hot and cold water with good pressure. Clean common places. Staff at reception very courteous and friendly. Quick check in and check out. Good size kitchen with multiple fridge and storage

Stayed long term at the Mansion for 3 months. The staff are absolutely incredible and friendly. The building is in great shape and maintained well. The rooms are a good size and the amenities are solid. The location is perfect for exploring Melbourne. Special shout out to Colleen, Tom, and Ash on reception for making my stay such a great experience.

I have stayed here 3 times and struggle not to compare all other hostels I stay at to The Mansion.

I've found the environment to be comfortable, respectful and fun. The staff are friendly and accommodating. It’s not a party hostel but it is easy to find people who are happy to go out and explore or stay in and have a chat at the kitchen table. The location is fantastic. It's close to Fitzroy and the CBD. Parliament Station is around the corner, which connects to Melbourne's free tram network and regional trains.

Public spaces are clean and bright, the kitchen is well-equipped and the rooms have big windows, heaters and comfy beds with privacy curtains and individual electrical outlets. It's not perfect-- sometimes you do have to wait a few minutes for space in the bathroom or kitchen at peak times, the building is very pretty but old so it has some wear and tear and can be drafty-- but it is obvious that thought and care is being invested into the space.

I recommend The Mansion as a great spot for rookie and experienced travellers looking for a place to stay in Melbs.

The location and the hostel itself was amazing! You can easily go to any places in the CBD area by walking or catching the tram (within the tram free zone!!). The only downside is that there is a fire station nearby, so unfortunately you could hear the siren every now and then, even at night. However, in general, it was still a great place to stay at and everyone is extremely nice :)

Great hostel, one of the best I've been in. A lot of space, great living room where you can work or watch a movie, very well-equiped kitchen with spices, oil and other essentials.

I highly recommend The Mansion as somewhere to stay in Melbourne. The hostel is in the most stunning 1901 building with lots of original features and is only a short walk into the cbd or Fitzroy. The hostel is not so much of a party hostel but is still very social which was perfect for me. The rooms and common areas are comfortable and relaxing. The hostel is cleaned everyday at least twice a day so for a hostel the standard is very high. The kitchen is fully equipped with so many appliances as well as spices, oils, etc. which again for a hostel is amazing!! The staff are so friendly and attentive which really makes your stay memorable. The Mansion is very homely which I think helps backpackers being away from home.

One of the best hostels I have been in travelling this year. A huge restored building, spotlessly clean with great kitchen facilities and cheap card operated laundry. The location is perfect, quiet and right beside a great park and a lovely museum but within walking distance to the city centre and areas with amazing food/nightlife. Above all the staff were so nice, enthusiastic but in a genuine way and super helpful!

I was supposed to stay there one week and ended up staying there 3 months! Loved every second of it, amazing staff, volunteers, guests, facilities very clean. Can't wait to come back 💕

I had amazing experience staying here. For solo female traveler, both residence and staff are friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay here again!

By far the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in.
Safe, clean and friendly!
Staff remember everyone’s names, everyone is polite and respectful.
Lights out 11pm-9am and low noise time is a godsend.
INDIVIDUAL BATHROOMS! Absolute selling point.
Beautiful building too.
The only downside is a lot of long term residents have moved into rooms and they are cramped and a bit smelly because of this but the communal living spaces are spotless and wonderful.
Hard to meet people as a lot of long term but eveyones always ready for a chat even if they don’t have time to socialise. Also the website says the bar is open with socials but it isn’t yet, just a cafe.
Changed my opinion in hostels, I urge everyone to stay here for a comfortable, clean and safe experience

I didnt think I'd stay months in this hostel, but that just speaks volume to how great the Mansion is. The staff stays on top of cleanliness, there are lots of kitchen ammenities, and super comfy beds. Though it's not a drinking hostel, it's a social one, perfect for solo travelers. The Mansion is perfectly located, as it's just at the edge of CBD but not in the chaos of it all, and it's a 5 minute walk away from Fitzroy.

Matt, Ashley, Emma and the rest of the staff (all are such characters) have been lovely and were always there to help. This place will forever have a place in my heart.

The best hostel I’ve stayed at. The cleanliness here is top notch. Kitchen is cleaned regularly and bathrooms are also clean. Front desk staff are also super lovely and helpful. Great location too very central to lots of things in Melbourne
