This was my first hostel in Australia and it was a great experience. From the moment I arrived at 11pm everyone was very friendly with the reception staff making me feel very welcome, asking me what my plans were for my trip and knowing they were there to help. I was upgraded to a 4 bed dorm and this was really nice with good under bed lockers. The bathroom was across the hall and was a good size for the amount of guests (the hostel was about full) The kitchen is well stocked and free breakfast is a bonus. I loved the location, St Kilda is a great place and the tram is right outside going straight into the centre of Melbourne. I think the staff and guests make any hostel and there was a great mix here, the main common area is right next to reception so you get to know the staff who are all super helpful.
This is my favourite hostel of my whole trip.
