Staff were very helpful, you can have meal at the hostel, the food is not bad. Lots and lots of people in the lobby all the time so it is very easy to meet people. Cant think of anything bad about the hostel.

I ended up having a pretty good time at Discovery and was there for 2 weeks, it probably wouldn't be the place i'd choose the stay if I were in Melbourne again though. I think it's very good value considering its central city location, free wifi, decent kitchen/facilities etc. Great place to stay long term, lots of friendly long termers... More

If you are looking to work in Melbourne this is an all right place, clean and with lots of facilities for you, such as jobsearch help, inhouse training courses etc However, as travellers, we felt like it was very hard to meet people here. It seemed everyone hangs with their own friends and keep to themselves. Also byo is mot... More

Being French I've traveled in many places around Europe and stayed at many hostels. I hardly ever got disappointed. This hostel is definitely the worst ive been to.

We checked into the discovery in November 2012 and stayed until almost March 2013 as we liked it that much. First let me start by the rooms - at the end of the day it's a hostel so your paying for what you get which in the discovery is a fairly spacious room with a comfortable mattress and a large... More

Cannot stress enough how vile this place was. Checked in, cried for a bit, then checked out asap. Dragged two heavy suitcases up 6 flights of stairs as the lift was 'still' broken, not one member of staff offered to assist with this, then arrived in the room (or cellblock) to find bunk beds, a fan and a bin. In... More

Im going to start with the few positives of Discovery The hostel has free wifi and a free breakfast which i loved. The staff were really helpful and really chatty. The hostel offers a few free things to attend, we went to the free comedy night which was brillent. This concludes the positives. The negatives: The hostel is waaay to... More
