I loved my stay here and i found it very welcoming and warming the second i walked in . I met Ellis at the front desk and his personality was so funny and charismatic. He had me join paint n sip which was so much fun! He even took us out to a club where we had the best time! Tiggy gave us watermleon and ice pops today which i needed because its so hot! I love how clean it is and how the rooftop has amazing views. I feel at home here which is what a hostel should feel like! Keep up the amazing work and thank you so much Ellisíto.

All the staff at the hostel are super friendly and helpful. Special shout-out to Agustin at reception, who helped me a ton every time I needed it. The location is great, the room maintenance is excellent, the privacy and comfort in the dorms are really good... It's a really nice place!

the best hostel I’ve stayed at in Australia! 🩷 they just reopened a week ago, so everything is brand new—the beds, each with a nightstand and fan, the kitchen, the common areas, the bathrooms—everything! from day one, it felt like family, i didn't wanted to leave haha. the prices are also very good. thanks to the amazing vibes of Eri and the entire staff. the best way to arrive in Melbourne 🫶🏽 thank you!

Europa is an EXCELLENT hostel, very well maintained areas and very very efficient staff, solving with ease classic hostels challenges. Let's make it simple: it's a paradise for backpackers who like city vibes, with comfy beds, individual bathrooms, wide rooftop, bbq with good veggie-vegan options, game room, large choice breakfast with pancakes (!), ... and once again thank you to the staff who does amazing work : ) However... maybe because it's all a game of offer and demand... but the prices when i was there were quite high and room were very quickly full-booked: the first week (that i booked way in advance) was very ok price for 16 beds dorm but, when i wanted to extend, the same room was 27$ more expensive per night... not 5 or 10 more... no no... 27$ more per night... even for someone having a job in Melbourne, it might be tough on their budget. Some guests then tend to book several weeks in a row to secure the price of their stay... when other guests will have to often switch to a more expensive room because cheaper ones are very quickly full-booked. I can understand that it's maybe more complicated than "offer and demand", it's probably the way Australian big cities are, maybe gvt is allowing too much working visas at same time and it creates huge "concurrency" at regular period of year. Hostels are probably doing their best to run their business and still offer affordable access to young workers. My stay at Europa was still EXCELLENT and i recommend to go there. Plan a good budget or confirm in advance a good working plan. Then you should have a great stay in one of the most effervescent city on the planet : )

Everything available for such low price. Breakfast is good and bathrooms are clean. They have a well equipped kitchen and a TV room. There's a bar downstairs. If you want a cheap stay option, then there's nothing better than this.

Very well run Super clean and excellent showers.Very central bank smack in the middle of the C B D.. Clearly the best hostel I have stayed at couldn't fault it in any way...An exceptionally good place to stay maybe a fraction more expensive than some hostels but absolutely worth it..

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).

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 😃

I was surprised by how quiet it was (as backpacker hostels when I was visiting America tended to be very noisy). The lockers were a useful safety feature which I hadn't expected - it meant I could leave stuff in my dorm room.
