Not many shower rooms. A bit far to walk to the tram. Kitchen is not very tidy especially the sandwich presser. Recycle bin is not obvious.

Quiet. Staffs are nice. Public computer for using.

The building needs a bit of maintenance. The bedsheets, pillows and bedding were dirty and with weird strains

The location and the amenities

Just another hostel.

Relaxed atmosphere, good location.

Felt a little messy sometimes. Lots of random people's stuff all over the room (especially long term residents) and common areas. My bed didn't have access to a plug and the large window behind it was often fully open which made me worry about stuff falling off my bed and out the window. There was also a smell of gas that wafted in through the window constantly. The communal area often had music playing especially on weekends and nights which made it hard to find anywhere to have a quiet phone call in the evening. Didn't realise that the hostel is on the 1st floor so had to drag my suitcase up a big flight of stairs.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. I was in a girls dorm and the atmosphere was very welcoming. I ended up speaking to a few of the girls and most people said hi when passing. They had a free rooftop barbecue when I was there and it was very good. The food was good and it was free which was very nice of the staff to do for us. Communal area had lots of power sockets available. It was in a good location just a short walk to the beach, Luna park and acland street. Lots of places close by for food and things to do.

As I'm new to backpacking I cannot really compare it to other hostels.

Familiar hostel with nice staff and a few long term guests. I was integrated quickly (I am a bit shy).

The kitchen could use a little refurbishment

Nice hostel, friendly and helpful stuff, really big rooms with ok beds, nice communal kitchen and rooftop..not too many toilets but god and spacious

I didn't have a good time in Room 7 because of some people that were disrespectful. I don't know how good or bad the other rooms are.

I liked the people there. I really felt like I was part of a family. I met a lot of nice people.

Stayed in September 2023

The bed was too soft for my back, sadly, many shops were closed down up for lease

No breakfast. Location - easy to wander around

Stayed in September 2023

In the room, you can hear sounds from the kitchen and the stairs. The bed was squeaky, and there were no power outlets near the bed.

Good location, friendly staff

The long term stays in the room took up all the space, so newcomers don't have anywhere to plug things in, put luggage or walk through the room sometimes. The housekeeping was the worst. Every morning coming in at 11am, opening the curtains and the windows and blasting thier own music, without any care for who was sleeping. I even witnessed a guy WAKE UP a girl to say he could change her sheets right then or not until next week since she was a long term guest. She said she needed to sleep and rolled back over. It is absolutely disrespectful and rude. I was sick so I said something on the third day and the guy just shrugged, said sorry, and opened the curtains and windows again anyway. Seems like they are trained to do this since it was the same every day. The sheets and pillowcases are stained too.

The kitchen was large, lounge was very comfortable and had good music going. The room itself was huge.

Stayed in August 2023

There are no outlets or extensions for each bed so it's hard to recharge your electrical devices. The extensions are very far from the cabins.

Staff and the other backpackers was really kind and very good with me help me a lot.

It's a small hostel (small common areas) and it feels even smaller because it was full of people. Small kitchen, so it can get tricky to cook sometimes, but still doable.

Management is really helpful and always tried to help me book a bed even though the hostel was quite packed.

Stayed in March 2023

The kitchen was dirty and sticky most of the time.

Nice and quiet hostel.

Stayed in December 2022

I got home late from a competition I was participating in. Got to the room, where there were two new people. We chatted for a while, then I fell asleep. I was woken up by the others saying they couldn't sleep with me there. I was told by the others to leave the room, which I did, with all my gear. I lay on the couch near Reception till one of the staff helped me with my stuff to go to a different room. He went out of his way for me. I really appreciated it. Thank you.

The staff went out of their way to help me when I needed it.

Great location in St. Kilda, easy access to public transport, lovely knowledgeable manager, free breakfast, towel provided, comfortable beds with extra comforter, extra heater for the cold, en-suite in female bedroom, secure lockers in room (bring ur own lock)

Breakfast could have been earlier and had honey involved. Pillows were thin and cheap polyester. Everyone was tossing and turning the first night.

Good vibes with friendly people (staff and roommates). Included breakfast was defs a plus. Also handy having free parking nearby.

Computer/internet not working all the time I was there (four nights) and staff did nothing to fix it, despite asking. Some other facilities not kept up to 'scratch'.

Breakfast as expected. Check-in and -out as expected.

All good!

Cozy hostel, and very friendly staff. Overall clean and comfy. Great location in magica San Kilda.

Stayed in March 2024

Not enough outlets in the room.

The common areas aren't huge, but they are very cozy. They felt very much like a real home. There is, however, a huge rooftop area with plenty of seating. I stayed in the all girls dorm. Plenty of lockers and space for everyone, and the bed was comfortable. Staff was super friendly and helpful. The hostel was pretty clean. No grime on the shower floors. Free parking nearby after 5 pm (2P 9 to 5). The Care Park is about a 10-minute walk and is only $8 all day if you park before 10 am.
