Hotel at corner of street light & crossing. Point is, you will hear the tik tik tik tik tik of Melbourne street light whole night and screams from street. My sleep was disturbed through out 6 days I stayed. I needed to wake up early one particular day, they denied, can’t help. Owner is not helpful at all.

Staff. Mostly students working there but they are very helpful. Shreya was helpful and great at making things comfortable.

Very central location, good rooms (could use some shelves to put stuff rather than on floor), good breakfast, very comfortable beds.

Stayed in February 2025

After hours access if reception doors closed. Breakfast included ot food but often there was not any available

Easy to find, check in and out easy, rooms serviced daily and towels changed daily. As a genius rated client I was upgraded and had breakfast included. Only a relatively short walk to trams and trains, including free city circle tram. Although on a major city road, traffic noise not really a problem.

The beds were a bit too soft and sinking. The bathroom light/fan made a lot of noise and drove me insane while showering. The breakfast didn't have many options and didn't start at 6 am like it said on the sign. They made photocopies of our ID and Debit Card, idk if that is normal or not. Was also right on the corner of 2 streets so there was a lot of noise, plus stagg seemed to always be cleaning so the supplies were in the small elevator. The elevator made me feel like we were in a horror movie, but it actually worked fine.

Good for what it was worth. The aircon was great, and we were able to check in a little bit early. Breakfast was only $16 per person. Staff were polite and nice.

Quite tired & worn-out. Bed was clean but everything else felt grubby. Free wifi is only for 2 hours, then you had to pay. In the end I couldn`t get it to connect so I gave up. a lot of the free to air channels didn`t work, no milk for coffee. Window above bedhead jammed slightly open so smells from the street and people urinating and fighting in the street/alley below could be heard all night. Surrounding strip clubs make the area feel seedy and unsafe. Hotel is okay for the price if you just want to crash after the football but there are others in the city at the same price that are better.

Close to everything, soft comfortable bed.

Building was old but a lot of Melbourne buildings are old too. But compared to other buildings from the same era, Sophia has good interior design

Location was perfect. Minutes walk away from Southern Cross bus terminal. Easy to catch skybus to and from the airport. Staff are friendly!

The hot breakfast was limited and not available on occasion, the WiFi was poor and difficult to use, the room was not made up when requested or partially made up and on one occasion no clean towell provided, on two occasions there was no out of hours front desk help and on one of those occasions no response to repeated visits for WiFi help, on the first day no breakfast at all until 7 when breakfast room meant to open at 6.

The price and location were good and staff tried to solve problems.

The cleaner/room service didn't make the beds up, just replaced our used towels (considering the price per night, I would have expected the rooms to be better serviced for our stay).

Great location in Melbourne. Comfy bed.

Breakfast was terrible, we have been travelling for 9 months across the world and this was the worst breakfast ever !

The location was perfect, the room good, except a bit noisy.

Communal amenities. This wasn’t made clear enough on booking. Was only brought to my attention at check in

Great location clean

The staff is almost non existent, the rooms are really small, and it was pretty dirty.

The location

Stayed in March 2025

With the facilities in the room, was reported on the first day we were there and was not fixed. Breakfast facilities were poor as the readiness of the food and service provided left a lot to be desired.

The property was close to the CBD. The helpful staff member was the one that attended to overnight stayers and she outshine the management of the place.

The only down side to the hotel was the incredibly slow wifi, it took about 3 minutes to download maps and was not able to live stream at all. (better wifi outside the building with public access via Vic wifi)

Great location, and an extremely comfortable bed with crispy clean linen and heaps of good pillows. The room was nice and clean and serviced regularly. Having a free breakfast was great to start the day.

Wifi was very poor.

Ring the bell at reception and be patient. Double room is small but for the price well worth it

Perfectly located for Marvel Stadium. Clean rooms. Helpful staff. Good showers.

Close to supermarkets, Close to tram stops in several directions. It will be great when the GOLDEN AGE restaurant/bar opens downstairs.

I stayed in the master room, and the lighting was very poor and annoying. The furnishings were quite outdated. There was only one sink in the bathroom, so if you needed to wash your glasses, you had to go to the bathroom, which surprised me – although I'm not sure if that's normal.

It was very close to CBD just couple of minutes by walk

Stayed in February 2025

No contact number. The number on website wasn’t working. After I checked out I was trying to contact he hotel furiously to retrieve my airpods- they didn’t respond to my emails and the phone number was out of service

Cheap and central

Location

Stayed in March 2025

Bathroom needed some minor repairs e.g. toilet roll holder not attached to wall properly, shower leaked after a few minutes. The bed was comfortable but was on wheels so it moved around when you sat on it or got in and out!

Check in staff were polite but to the point (efficient!). Cost and location were good.

Stayed in March 2025

Everything staff etc will be using the facilities again

Stayed in February 2025

Great for backpackers & budget travellers. It has heaps of amenities including free washing machine & dryer, coffee, tea & a few breakfast items. This hostel will allow you to see Sydney on a budget for sure. Its wifi is super quick & it’s about a 5 min walk from Wynyard station.
