The best youth hostels Melbourne

This hostel is located in the heart of Melbourne's excitement, a stone's throw from Flinders Street station. From the outside, the building is rather gloomy, but beyond this first impression, it's a pleasant surprise. The staff are very friendly, the common areas are pleasant and a major effort has been made to clean them. The private rooms offer very good value for money. Dormitories are a lot more factory-like and there's less space, but that's what hostels are all about... Bar on the^1st floor and rooftop café.

Formerly known as United Backpackers, this hostel in the heart of Melbourne is one of many to join the Selina Group. The^1st Selina establishment opened in Panama in 2014, and since then the group has continued its sprawling growth. The Melbourne CBD address combines all the elements that make Selina so successful: a central address, beautifully renovated, and pleasant, spacious communal areas. In addition to dormitory accommodation, Selina Central Melbourne offers more upscale private room options.
