Great stay

Receptionists are very helpful Jodi has been lovely and very helpful, rooms are kept clean most staff are tenants and traveler, everyone is very helpful and friendly. The outside courtyard area is cosy and gets a decent amount of sun during the day, the Wi-Fi is pretty slow sadly. Kitchen is kept clean and staff are very helpful, vending machines kept stocked and great location plenty around to do, climbing centre, beach, theatres, cinemas, tram stations right out front

Apaling ! To be avoided

WiFi is limited to 500 Mo per day, and yes, it's 2020. Beds are disgusting, reeking and my matress was stained with blood. No noise insulation so you are in the middle of a constant party with loud - very loud - music from 7 am to 11pm. And that been said, it's written everywhere that you are not suppose to party after 10pm and not to drink on the premises, but the staff doesn't enforce it. "Private" rooms don't lock (105 for example) so we had constantly people barging in, one in the middle of the night at 3am and one being A STAFF MEMBER with no apologies). We didn't get the room we booked and asked for a few solutions, the staff didn't accommodate us and didn't communicate about the fact that we needed an other room. When asked for a refund because obviously they couldn't accommodate us, the receptionist went in a tantrum, literally yelling at me and started crying that "this is not the way she wants to start her day" and "I ruined it for her", that "I can call booking.com, I am not getting a refund - that's the end of it!"...yeah, true story...NEVER SEEN THAT IN MY LIFE! Didn't even know what to do with her with her tears and yells. I basically told her to stop her drama because I can't talk with a drama queen AND THEN, when I FINALLY got the chance to explain the problem to her, she immediately apologised and gave us the room we actually booked. Bipolarity to it's Apex! Unbelievable. I think she needs either a shrink or at least a good month nerve rest...I am still digesting and honestly even felt guilty even trying to get what I basically paid for.

Awesome and laid back

The best, most chill hostel in St Kilda. Small hostel located right on Fitzroy with a great family atmosphere. Facilities are in excellent shape and prices are lower than most other hostels in St Kilda.
Special thank you to Stacey and the rest of the team for making this place so amazing! You guys are the best

Rizzie

This hostel is perfect for a stay in St.Kilda. Not the cleanest but good enough. Good place for a long term stay. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Especially Stacey, she is an excellent manager with a lovely personality. Would recommend.
