Urban Central is a very cosy, clean and nice hostel. The nicest I've visit during my travels through Australia. Big room, nice staff and a good atmosphere. All near the citycentre and the Crown Casino (A)... I found the text below on their website:

About Urban Central

The number 1 hostel in Melbourne for 2006 as voted by Hostelworld and Hostelbookers customers. Central to the city, beach and St Kilda ‘Urban’ is second to none for service, facilities and hygiene standards.

Urban Central is ideally located in Melbourne’s vibrant Southbank adjacent to the famous Crown Casino. The city is a 5 minute walk and with public transport on our doorstep, St Kilda is only a 10 minute tram ride. Shopping around UC is excellent and with the city just a 5 to 10 minute walk, Southbank ‘chic’ shopping across the road, South Melbourne shopping strip and market only seconds away, Port Melbourne shopping strip a 15 minute walk (on the way to the beach) and a Direct Factory Outlet about a 10 minute walk, you’re bound to find what you need!!!

Our facilities include an in house bar with big screen, cheap high speed internet, two TV areas with Plasma screens, excellent cooking facilities and a tour desk which offers expert information on Melbourne and unique tour packages and discounts only available to Urban Central guests.
