The Nunnery Accommodation

Cool place, relatively quiet if that's what you're looking for, amazing orange cat named Angus that lives next door and spends his days at the hostel. He gets a 10/10. I like the setup and the common area of the hostel is large and cozy. Walking distance to lots of shops/cafes/bars.

The smell in the 12 bed dorm was not great. I know there's only so much that can probably be done about this but just a note for future guests - maybe shell out the few extra dollars for a smaller dorm if you can.

Very nice building - 3 story stair case. Close to CBD Kitchen is cleaned twice a day with fridge and storage space. Rooms are quiet. Staff are super helpful.

I loved the architecture, the interior design was classy and full of character. The staff were wonderful. Everything I needed was supplied without fuss.

Kitchen cleaning was excessive and inconvenient. The opening hours for the kitchen were also inconvenient. I’m an early riser and get up everyday around 4-5am, but the kitchen has an electronic lock on the door that’s set to a timer, I believe. It opens at 8am and shuts around 10-10:30pm, which means I have to get breakfast elsewhere because I can’t access my own food. I did find a work around, but the cleaners were in there daily scrubbing the place down. Most days, the kitchen closed between 1-2pm, other days it shut for 3 hours between 1-4pm and some days it just didn’t open. I don’t think there was enough kitchen activity to justify that level of rigour. It was overkill to the point where it just became a nuisance.

I liked that The Nunnery was easy to go to, and from, using one of Melbourne's tram routes: Route 96.

1) I was at The Nunnery when it was very cold, so I didn’t like it that the kitchen was in a detached outside room with no heating. Usually, at hostels, the kitchen/dining area is where socialising happens. But nobody stayed in the kitchen, at The Nunnery, longer than to just access and prepare their food. Socialising happens in the lounge room, which is heated. 2) I was unlucky with the guest in the bunk above mine: she was a loud snorer, so I couldn’t manage to sleep for the three nights that I was at the hostel. However, that’s the negative side of shared dorms: mostly, there are no snorers in female dorms, but there was a champion female snorer above me, at The Nunnery.

Hello, this backpackers has good fascilities. Plenty of sitting places and different bathrooms, including one not in a main shared bathroom if you need to be alone and tired of no privacy

The manager will need to be kinder to his staff. The staff seem very down and out. My greeting was not very friendly or helpful at all. Not rude but just down and out/flat. This is a management problem. I hope management reads this and becomes kinder to staff. I also want to say that the pillows are very flat. Its exhausting to fight for everything with not very friendly staff, I didn't ask for another pillow and the bedding is not warm enough. The bunk beds are very wobbly. It was a terrible sleep due to the girl under me being very loud. That has nothing to do with the staff but if you wanna be exhausted recommend a share room.
