The Village Melbourne

I boocked private room and got dorm for my own use. Room was extremely dirty with hair all over, old coockies, chewing gum and much more on the flor. Bathroom wasn't cleaned after check out of previous guests - dirty toilet!!! I know I was staying in a hostel not in Hilton but hostel really shouldn't be this dirty!!! And paid lockers is not sth that you could call laguage storage.

The aircon was good. There were outlets. Good location.

The kitchen was stinky and filth. The fridges were jampacked, and much of the food there had gone bad a long time ago. There were only about five sets of cutlery and no glasses, cups or mugs; it was all plastic. On top of that, there's no disposal separation whatsoever. Horrendous disregard for the environment. One of the lifts didn't work (allegedly it was being repaired, but that's been going on for a couple of years now), and the other was slow, and probably broke down on our last day. The bed was on wheels (unlockable) and kept gliding away from the wall (no headboard). The toilet paper roll was placed a few centimeters above the floor, on the wall behind the chair. Imagine the contortionist acts that had to be made just to reach the bog roll. By far the worst is the incessant noise. The rooms are situated around huge common areas on every floor. There is no soundproofing whatsoever, and since the rooms aren't tucked away in corridors, even normal conversations get loud, and incredibly so at night. Either there are no rules of being silent after, say, midnight, or the establishment doesn't care to enforce them. It usually doesn't get reasonably quiet until 2-3 o'clock.
