The room comfortably accommodates 6 people with three double beds, and the bedding is very clean. Each floor has a desk with charging points. The WiFi speed is decent. Breakfast includes sandwiches, toast, milk, coffee, cereal, and unlimited drinks. There's also a gas stove, which is great if you like to cook your own meals, like boiling an egg. The living room on the first floor is spacious enough for dozens of people to have meetings or chats. A major plus is its 8-minute walk to Southern Cross Station, located right in the city center on King Street.
**Environment:** Quiet, safe, and convenient.
**Cleanliness:** The bathroom is very clean, gets daily cleaning, and has no unpleasant odors.

I just needed a bed to sleep in the city while exploring what the Melbourne CBD has to offer. To my amazement the YHA exceeded my expectations. The shared bathrooms were clean with toiletries and hair dryers. Loved the concept of shared kitchen to prep your own food while there’s barista made coffee and cocktails in the lobby for purchase. While hanging out, I met other travellers and made friends too. I checked out early to explore more before leaving, luggage storage was convenient and I even got a towel to shower before I left. Point to note, ask for a room away from the side alley as you will be able to hear the rubbish truck early in the morning and smells coming through if you leave the window open. There’s no ventilation if you don’t keep the window open. I took a four bed sharing and the air can be stale if the windows are closed.

The hotel's location is decent, and the room is very spacious with a window. It even has two toilets and two showers. The only downside is that the in-room Wi-Fi isn't great. However, the common areas are huge, with plenty of sofas, making the public spaces very comfortable.
I stayed 3 nights but easily could stay the whole week there. Well-equipped kitchen, laundry (paid), clean bathrooms, free parking, and I was lucky to stay alone in my dorm room.
The hostel was perfectly located because it was waking distance to all the restaurants and shops. The front desk gave a perfect recommendation for places to eat and things to do. Would definitely go back.
Highly recommended!
We had a great stay in a comfortable and spacious room. Location is also great and public transport is close. Staff is friendly and helpful.
Value for money, the price is unbeatable for Australia.
The room was big, the bed was clean, I was glad I didn't miss the trip, the scenery was great, and there was a small balcony, I enjoyed it very much. The hotel has many services, although I didn't try them one by one, but they are heartwarming enough
Great location just a five minute drive to Woolies. The room is very clean with plenty of supplies like plates, bowls, tablewares, cotton swabs... The owner is pretty kind as well. Affordable and quality accommodations.
Lovely vibes, cool chill areas, community bar and community events plus the staff especially the lovely guy who booked me in was Amazing. However it's a very crappy old building with Nil working properly showers and broken toilets. I had 1 night in a nice female room which I barely even saw as I was out and Tried to rest at a 2nd booking being shoved into a mixed smelly weird noisy dorm on a top bunk with ****** knocking on the door at all hrs, one guy snoring and another twat on the phone I told off. Was stressful and I hadn't a Warm shower in a working functioning bathroom in 2 days. Not returning. If you like noisy rude tourists and old buildings with no lift carrying your bags everywhere and no showers, great!
Good

Very Good
GGuest UserAuberto was very welcoming at check in and most helpful with providing recommendations for dining, as well as sightseeing and what to do in the short amount of time we were staying.
Rooms were clean and beds comfy.
Communal room with pool table and kitchen facilities was an added bonus and great extra. If we had stayed longer we would have made use of the BBQ too. Pool looked nice and clean but too cold to take a dip.
Staff made us feel very welcome and happy to help in any way they could.
Right across the road from the beach which was fabulous.
I highly recommend the Rosebud Motel and would definitely stay here again!
AAnonymous UserA typical backpacker hostel.
One capsule per person.
Other facilities are shared.
The kitchen is messy but well-equipped.
The bathrooms are quite clean.
The two managers are foreigners. Communication might be difficult if you don't speak English, but they are very nice, friendly, and welcoming.
The entrance is a bit hard to find.
After going up the stairs from the entrance and reaching the first security gate, don't go through that gate; instead, go directly through the small door on the right. There are no signs on the door.
CCollinsVFriendly staff amazing service.we have decided to extend our stay for another night with last mins request but the staff super friendly and allowed us to stay. That really helpful for us.
