This Cecil Street hostel traded for years as Nomads Market Inn before rebranding as Market Tavern - Hostel and Bar, though the property and its location a minute's walk from South Melbourne Market have stayed the same. The adults-only hostel offers a mix of room types, from 4, 5 and 10-bed mixed dormitories through to private double rooms, aimed squarely at budget-conscious travellers rather than guests seeking hotel-style comfort. An on-site pub and bar gives the property its 'Tavern' name and doubles as a social hub for guests, alongside free parking, a laundry, a communal kitchen area and free Wi-Fi in common spaces. The hostel sits within easy walking distance of the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre and Crown Casino, and close to trams into the CBD, making it a practical low-cost base for visitors attending conferences or events nearby. Given its adults-only policy and hostel format, it suits backpackers, solo travellers and budget-focused groups more than families, and guests should expect a lively, informal atmosphere given the attached bar.
