Only issue was having to negotiate stairs, however once inside the staff informed me we could of come down the side street and there’s no stairs in to the building!

I had a fantastic experience here! The location is super convenient—situated on Level 1 inside the Spencer Street Outlet Centre, making it really easy to find while shopping. Chula was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the whole visit even more enjoyable. On top of that, the prices are great, so you really feel like you're getting excellent value.

It is a gaming cafe and the process for dropping off and collecting bags was easy.
- Rianni
Lovely experience! Couldn't find the shop so my friend called and the staff on the other end of the line was very helpful and lovely. Definitely recommend if you want to spend the day in the city without carrying your luggage everywhere.

- Kirsty
Good location, worked very well for us and staff were very friendly. The system worked well with our advance booking and we felt our bags were looked after and securely stored behind reception which was manned the whole time. Would recommend.
- Benjamin
Easy location, the reception knew exactly what I was talking about when I mentioned a Stasher booking and locked our bags away in the staff only area. Pick up was just as easy.

Official left luggage inside the station
Southern Cross Station has luggage lockers with prices starting from $6. The Luggage Hall is inside the station, between the train and bus terminals and opposite the Travellers Aid service hub. However, it is primarily for checking in luggage for train services, rather than a standard all-day left-luggage desk. Bags must be deposited at least 30 minutes before departure, so the facility may not suit a short-term visit or storage after arriving in Melbourne. Check that your journey fits this train check-in arrangement before relying on the station’s own luggage storage.
