This is absolutely the best hostel I've been to! Every night there's something fun to do and the staff is very helpfull and really nice. The bathrooms are clean and you get 4mb free internet for every day you are there. I just loved it, great people as well that are staying there for a longer time!

You also get breakfast included & you get 4mb of free Internet daily! St Kilda is nice but there isn't much to do if your staying for a long time and to... More

Nice free parking, good atmosphere downstairs but still nice quiet hotel rooms. Needed extra pillows but very nice experience. We didn't get to try the free brekkie but all the social activities did look great and would've been good for a stay of longer than one night

The staff is what really made this stay- they were SO helpful with everything from finding the nearest gym to suggesting the perfect tours for our interests and budgets. They never made us feel like we were annoying or inconveniencing them- guest satisfaction was a #1 priority. I did not get to attend any, but it also seemed like they... More

Hi, I came here having stayed in another local hostel. I was greeted by very nice staff who showed me the essentials and where everything was. My intention was to stay for 3 nights and move to the inner city for a while. I've been here 3 weeks and still love it. There is always something going on downstairs, or... More

Before this I had been too several different hostels around the area, only staying a day or 2. I ended up staying a week + here before moving onto a different city but if I ever make it back to Melbourne this will be the place I go. The beds are comfy, everything is clean, and the bathrooms are great.... More

This hostel is clean, with friendly staff. There's a nice outdoor area and its not far from the main part of st kilda. Met some great people here, although there's somehow a lack of atmosphere at times. It's also quite expensive. Overall good though.
