Melbourne
Located within a castle-like former Salvation Army building with grand double staircases, this two-storey, 86-bed hostel has genuine character. A recent renovation has spruced things up – besides new paint and carpeting, there are privacy curtains, lights and powerpoints for every bed, plus two private rooms, two female dorms, laundry machines and a TV room. Some rooms have air-con. No lift.
There's an on-site cafe and bar, Salvation, with an outdoor terrace and nightly offers.
