Everything in room old, worn out. On bed impossible to move from one s ide to another, might be broken. Window stuffed by constructions of or from steel nothing seen and no air. Besides, i asked to have my bed in female room for two and got promise ,but I end up with young German guy in little room, who half of night went there forth and his friends. I never sow such a disgusting situation , no place to change clothes. So stay was worst ever.

Great place, fairly priced and close to CBD. A close by parking space would have been a cherry on the cake.

Mostly a hostel with party kids, bad soundproofing, doors were complicated to lock from inside, bathroom far from our room. We are too old for this.

Great hostel. Walking distance to the beach(15min walk). Close to the supermarket so you no need to walk so far after buying your groceries. Just outside a tram stop. Remember to bring your own utensils and a lighter as there were time there was only one spoon or fork or there was no lighter to start the stove. Other than that it was a pleasant and enjoyable stay

素晴らしい（日本人）
セントキルダビーチから徒歩10分、トラム駅から徒歩1分という好立地です。また、都心までトラムで20分とすぐです。一泊¥1200ほどからなのでお得です。ただ、1人部屋の中には取っ手が壊れていてドアは閉じるものの鍵をかけても開けられる部屋があります。一応、公衆荷物置き場は受付前の部屋にあり、受付には常に人がいるので安心だと思います。朝食はあるにはありますが大したことないので、せっかくなら近辺のカフェなどに行くのもいいでしょう。朝7時から開いています。

No lo recomiendo
La habitación no era lo que esperaba, baños sucios, el servicio muy malo, no estaban disponible durante la noche en la recepción y no me devolvieron el dinero de la llave al hacer el check out. Malísimo hostal.

Muchas gracias por tu comentario. Por desgracia, al ser anonimo, no puedo saber muy bien que paso contigo con la llave. Una lastima que no te haya gustado el servicio, intentaremos mejorar en todos tus comentarios. Buen viaje
