Fareshtha from Canada (9/10)
Everyone at the front desk always greeted me with a friendly smile. Eleonore always gave great suggestions on places to see and visit. She always said have to me with the biggest smile and asked how my stay was going. Overall great experience with the staff there.
Marc from Australia (9/10)
Location was perfect. The beds in the 8 bed dorm were excellent. No comfort complaints at all.
Kendra from Canada (9/10)
The hostel was clean and comfortable, and there was a large common room and kitchen with plenty of space. I appreciated the curtains on the bed and the smaller lockable cabinet in the bed itself. The location could not be better! Overall it was a great place to stay and I would happily recommend Roamer Melbourne for those looking for value and location.

Pauline from France (9/10)
The straff is really helpful and friendly
The room is spacious, the bed is comfortable.
The room and the bathroom are clean. They clean the kitchen for sure but people after that don't clean unfortunately.
The localisation is really good. If you want to take the tram, just cross the road or walk 2 minutes.Khurram from Australia (9/10)
