Comfortable stay for budget minded travellers

All good, I did feel some bed bugs but other than that all was good. Great and friendly reception service and a bonus drink voucher on check-in! The only thing I wish they did not close the rooftop area at night as it is the only comfortable and quiet place to sit down and work on computer. Have not had a chance to check out the new TV room.

Not my personal taste

This hostel wasn’t my taste, but others seem to really enjoy it. Great area and social activity. Staff were great. The hostel was a bit run down and dirty, not to mention messy roommates that exacerbated the problem. There are roaches and other insects... I was bitten six times on one arm and it really gave me the heebie geebies! I left a day early because I couldn’t take another night there. Great for others, just not for me.

Great location and better pub

Staff very welcoming and friendly in both the hostel and also the attached pub. Each dorm has its own bathroom which I find a lot better than larger shared bathrooms. Kept well clean and tidy.

Very dirty I ended up sick after a week

The place smelled like drugs immediately when I walked in my room. I was gagging and wanted to leave but had prepaid and got there at 10 at night so it was too late to leave. My bed had been used and not made properly and the bathroom was constantly flooded with nowhere clean to place my things. The German girl at the front desk was very rude when I checked in and asked about parking though the other guys at the front desk seemed ok. Luckily some nice people were in my room or I would have rated this place a 0.

Dirty rooms!!!!

it was a good 5 days night but the beds really terrible dirty also carpets as well. Beds were comfortable. Shower needs to be detailed cleaning. The lights are not enought for each room. Reception was not helpful. This place was like a bunch of student and teenages club.

Would Stay Again

Kind and helpful staff, fun bar with decent specials for hostel guests. As this was my first time in a hostel, I'm not sure I could compare it to anything, but it seemed mostly clean. Bathrooms could use a little more love, but that's what flip flops (thongs) are for. There is a team of hostel guests that does most of the cleaning for free accommodation, so you can't expect 5-star cleanliness from people who don't care/are only doing it for the free stay. The area isn't bad - just a block or so away from a Coles grocery store, and Acland street which is full of shops, cafes, banks, and bars. And just past that is the ocean. About a 15 minute walk to St Kilda pier, where, if you're lucky, you can see penguins at night :)
