Europa Melbourne

It’s good and highly recommended for those who are willing to spend less in staying at Melbourne!

This might be one of the worst places I’ve ever stayed in my entire life. The place smells like mold and smoke everywhere, and the bathroom always ran out of soap. Human liquids were everywhere. I don't feel safe here.

We stayed for about a week. We had already been here two years ago, but it has gotten worse. There are still the reindeer covered in dust in the kitchen, just like two years ago. In the lounge there’s a pool table, but there’s only one cue and it’s crooked. Someone even put an iron pipe there to use as a second one. How much do two new cues cost? 20 dollars? Pff. They removed breakfast but added soap in the showers (which was empty for the last 4 days, even after informing the staff). In the cold room there are lots of old bags left by people who moved out a long time ago, with expired food taking up space unnecessarily. The bathrooms are cleaned, but since there are too few for the number of guests, and the showers are in the same area as the toilets, they are constantly occupied and wet. It’s also hard to sleep at night because of the noise. The only positive notes: the location and the comfortable beds. It’s also useful for meeting new people.

The staff at help desk and helpful, gave clear info. Checked in at 6pm no issue, great having the help desk be open 24/7. The entry/cafe/front desk area had a small smell of cigarettes. Bed was comfortable and clean, only carpet was a bit dirty and the room smelled on mixed scents, primarily body odour, mixed shared room so not hostels issue just individuals different smells, ventilation was ok but would not recommend a windowless room with the scents issue. Guests seemed of a young adult demographic: Lots of young, foreign, Door Dash/Uber Eats workers. Bathroom/toilet amenities were sufficient but shower stream was changing from warm to cold water, which would be terrible if it was in the winter, but only slightly uncomfortable in the warmer month of December. Good option for securing luggage you don’t want to keep in the shared rooms.
