Landing Pads Brunswick

"The best hostel you can find in Melbourne... the best I've ever stayed in so far in Australia. I spent two months there and left for Darwin but was missing so much the LP family and its vibes that I returned and extended my stay for another 4 months. The hostel is more like a share house and hosts like flatmates. Events are on all week such as family dinner, karaoke night, yoga, and art workshop. The hostel is very cozy and clean, people are welcoming and friendly, it feels so good to have a place you can call home."

"Stayed here during covid. Lovely hostel honestly, the housekeepers were great too. The owner however, avoid him if you can. He is neurotic and inconsistent. Can't even follow his own rules either. During my stay there I had been yelled at verbally abused by MULTIPLE men, one even needed to be removed by the police and was on meth. The owner is the only bad thing about this hostel. He is as fake as they come."

"Landing Pads is a hostel like no other. The house feels like a home very quickly, enough to make most people extend their stay beyond the initial week. I stayed for two months whilst working in Melbourne and they were some of the best of my travels. The manager Matt puts so much into the house and I especially appreciated the job seekers tutorial that he runs, giving you the confidence and tips to get sorted with a job. Cleanliness, hostel events and a good community feel are top priorities and it shows. Won't be forgetting my time in LP any time soon!"

"Landing Pads is, no doubt, THE BEST HOSTEL I've ever done! It's a bit out of the CBD, but that makes it perfect. It's located in my favorite suburb of Melbourne, Brunswick, but still easy to catch a tram to the city, so you don't feel disconnected at all. Aside from that, the vibe in the hostel is such a great family feeling that you won't find anywhere else (and I did a looot of hostels). I stayed here for almost 3 months and it hurt me so bad leaving that magical place. The manager is so helpful and encouring for any kind of situation you're having. Also the family feeling made traveling so easy, cause everyone is open to help & won't make you miss home. The hostel also provides activities such as movienight/family dinner weekly. Makes it even more easy to connect. 100% recommend Landing Pads. Definitely coming back here!"

"Location is amazing and the people are even better. I’ve stayed at many hostels all over and this is the best one by far. It feels more like a share house than a hostel. Everyone is so welcoming here. Redd is lovely and made me feel welcome right away. She organized so many events like pumpkin carving and trivia that bring people together. I would stay here again and recommend it to anyone traveling solo."
