Ritz is family! i've spent my first four months in australia there and i must say i would come back there (maybe soon :P) as it really holds precious memories. i stayed in the 10 Female dorm and it was amazing room with plenty of space, windows and light. cleanings are regular and well made, people are willing to make you fill at home and kitchen is spacious. Ritz can only be experienced on your own skin to understand how special it is! i'm travelling around australia right now and Ritz keeps strongly his gold ranking #1 . i miss you Ritz!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

Location was good. Close to tram line. Lots of cafes near by. I only had one interaction with staff on check in and she was friendly. There was aircon and a fan in the room which helped with comfort levels on the really hot night I was there. Size of the room was good. Seems like quite a good place for backpackers and people wanting to meet new people as there are ample spaces to interact with others (at the pool table, the lounge area, the tables scattered around the hostel).

Best hostel I’ve ever stayed in. Modern, clean, comfortable and new. They’ve been very clever in using technology (Bluetooth locks opened with an app on your phone). Great location near the Queen Victoria Markets and within the free tram zone.

Great location . Comfortable double private room. I choose this backpackers for my 18 year old daughter who was travelling alone based on previous reviews that said it was ideal for solo travellers. She was able to meet people easily and said that both the staff and the quests were super friendly and she felt very safe. The party atmosphere helped 😃
