Kings Street Backpackers Reviews
Alright hostel lacking atmosphere in Melbourne May 25, 2008
Wha? Kings Street Backpackers
Huh? Melbourne, Australia Oh? Creeky hostel, no atmosphere. Free food though! Und? 5/10 Ah! You're welcome! Nights spent: 2 Room: 26? (6 share) Check out time: 10am 1. Beds and rooms: Squeeky bunkbeds, time for replacement. Rooms are crammed, not much space to do anything. 2. Bathroom: Shared with the floor. Non mixed, fairly small, two toilets, two showers, some sinks. Get in get out. Fairly clean. 3. Alcohol: No problemo, as far as I know. 4. Kitchen: Small for the amount of beds, not enough plates, cups and cutlery for the free feeds. Basic. 5. Location: Pretty good, real close to Southern Cross Station, a fifteen minutes walk to Federation Square, or take the tram. Close to Tesltra Dome, Flagstaff Gardens, and the free City Circle tram. 6. Price: Fair enough, 25A$ a night for a six share, in December 2007. 7. Features: Free internet (but it makes you cry), free breakfast, free pasta night, job search, laundry. Kings Street backpackers dreams of being a massive hostel and big and all that, but is housed in a building that's too small for the dreams. They would be better off by downsizing a bit, giving everything a bit more space and getting everything in order. Upgrade the rooms and bathrooms especially. There is no room for anything in the hostel; kitchen and (bath)rooms are too small, the main area neither fit for lounging, eating or whatever it's advertised with. Free advise from Ape: * Cross the street to Melbourne Connection Backpackers. * Wednesday night, free pasta! Make sure you're on time. |
