Queen Victoria Hostel

Queen Victoria Hostel offers character-filled accommodation in North Melbourne, just minutes from Melbourne’s CBD and next to the historic Queen Victoria Market. It occupies the upper level of a pub with roots dating back to 1863, while a tram stop directly outside provides free transport through the CBD. Bars, cafés and restaurants are also close by.

The hostel is designed as a smaller, quieter alternative to large party hostels. Guests can choose from private rooms or mixed dorms in four-, six- and 10-bed configurations, with a female-only six-bed option also available. Shared facilities include a comfortable lounge with a television and a fully equipped kitchen, giving travellers useful spaces to relax, prepare food and meet others without the scale or noise of a large property.

Downstairs, the in-house pub adds a social local element, serving classic pub meals, affordable drinks and daily specials. Weekly activities such as pool competitions and trivia nights provide easy options for guests who want to join in, while the hostel’s calm atmosphere suits travellers looking for better sleep. As a family-run business, it positions itself as a personal, welcoming base for solo travellers, groups and families exploring Melbourne.
