Guest Reviews

• Jeremy (7/5): -
• Jake (10/5): -
• Becca (10/5): Fun and clean - Loved the staff, everyone was so friendly and welcoming. Seemed like a very sociable place and was very clean. Would definitely recommend.
• Hal (9/5): - The vibe is quiet but also social. The rooms are comfortable. Bathrooms are excellent, and the kitchen is well layed out, and well equipped. Location can't be beat. The roof top area is great for working, studying, or just relaxing, and the daytime, night time views are stunning. Having the Barkly Hotel downstairs, for great pub food and drinks at amazing prices is icing on the cake. A very thoughtfully planned and executed place to stay for one night or plenty. ☺️
• Jessica (10/5): Summer vibes even in autumn! Would love to come back - The staff who I met or saw working were brilliant, with the stand out being Lana who went above and beyond to help me with an easy check-in and helping find an item I had accidentally left behind. Lana made my stay really relaxed which was a very welcome surprise and just what I needed. The room size was great, and the duvet was incredibly warm and snuggly! The en-suite bathroom was great - clean, with a large shower, plenty of bench space and a large mirror. The kitchen facilities were good and were being cleaned when I went in there. Having the bar and restaurant downstairs - with a discount for SummerHouse guests was brilliant. Great location with easy to access transport and walkable distances. Would love to stay again!!
• Cardarelli (9/5): - La posibilidad de alquilar habitacion con baño privado. El bar muy bueno. El rooftop muy cómodo. En el laundry no funcionaba la secadora. Además, la cocina es pequeña para la cantidad de gente que pueden albergar, muy poco lugar para sentarse a comer.
• Chloe (8/5): - Rooms spacious with big windows. Bathrooms nice and clean. Fridge in room was a bonus.Dood location with bus stop right outside and couple tram stops within 5 mins walk go direct into the city centre. Weren't bothered by noise too much at night time from other guests. Rooftop area great, good area to chill and nice views. Would stay again. Kitchen was pretty small for number of guests.
• Mykonn Romnick (10/5): -
• Edwards (10/5): - Great location, excellent room clean and spacious!
• Moncur (1/5): - Good location Horrendous customer service from the pink haired girl at reception asking me what the fuck am I still doing here
• Paul (9/5): - Very good place with a great daily organisation without even speaking of the daily events. You are always welcome by the staff with a nice smile. The greateat hostel i've ever been so far. Close to the beach. If I go back to Saint Kilda, this is where i'll go. I've only put 4 on the rooms because some lockers are hard to use I've only put 4 on the rooms because some lockers are hard to use
• CHIH I (8/5): -
• Davy (10/5): -
• Monika (8/5): - super clean, good location, clean bathrooms, 4 people dormitory, friendly non-anonymous atmosphere among people! loud music from the bar
• Marlene Valentina (8/5): -
• Davy (10/5): - Marie and her staff are really welcoming and helpful, the rooms and common areas are kept really clean and tidy, comfy beds, great showers and the location is perfect. Thanks for having me 😊
• Ruby (10/5): I really recommend staying at summer house when you’re in Melbourne! A short walk to St Kilda beach and the bus stop of - The hostel is spacious and clean! The kitchen is a great size and the addition of the air fryers makes such a difference. Bed was super comfy and the rooftop is the perfect size for the amount of guests. All the staff and volunteers are so helpful and friendly, anything I needed they were happy to help with.
• Kana (8/5): -
• Matthew (9/5): Good value. Would recommend - Bathrooms and rooms are clean and secure. Housekeeps are cleaning everything daily and the staff are very helpful
• Tati Martinez (1/5): Avoid this hostel!! Flea infestation and poor management - Avoid this hostel. Very poor management by Marie, she can’t handle people and obviously not a hostel. There was a serious flea infestation in our room (photos available), when we reported it, the situation was handled very poorly by her. Housekeeping threw away our labelled food by mistake, when we asked for the refund, she wouldn’t even care. There’s no common areas to chill after 8pm, which makes the place even worse. Overall, very bad management and an uncomfortable place to stay. So many rules, it’s like a prison not a place to have fun. Would not recommend at all.
• Dan (10/5): -
• Cesar Paredes Q. (1/5): Dirty place with racist and rude staff (manager and assistant manager) - They make you 20 dollars discount if you put a good review, so don't believe those 10 star reviews. The staff was rude and racist. The kitchen never had coffe, most of the people don't follow the rules, but if they are European they will get a warning as the most harsh action. On my last day the assistant manager was shouting and fighting with another guest in the stairs, everything is bizarre
• Baljeet (3/5): -
• Thomas (7/5): -
• Paul (9/5): Wonderful - Nice place well kept a pleasure to wander around Just a bit expensive
• HARRY (10/5): Great stay , stayed here long term and was great fun - Great vibes and good communal areas
• Guest (10/5): -
• Wannasiri (9/5): -
• Brynley (5/5): - Good mix of people. Can’t use the kitchen passed midnight because of noise but will have a live band on screaming terrible music passed midnight.
• Andrew (10/5): -
• Jackie (7/5): - The option of a locked room with an ensuite within the summer house. the bed was somewhat uncomfortable; a mattress protector would have made it more comfortable.
• Malthe (8/5): -
• Hooper (8/5): - Exactly as expected

• Aydan (7/5): - Staff, facilities, location Single bed mattress in room 307 is pretty hard. Almost feel like sleeping on a yogamat
• Matteo (6/5): -
• Frida Mikaela (3/5): -
• ZONG HUA (10/5): 鄰近 St Kilda Beach，有很美的落日和沙灘可以好好享受，附近有很多不錯的小店。搭乘 Tram 到 CBD 大概只需要 30 分鐘。作為墨爾本的第一個落腳點非常滿意！ Great location near St Kilda Be - 工作人員親切，設備都很乾淨。 The staff were very friendly and welcoming. All the facilities were kept clean and tidy throughout my stay.
• Sanne (8/5): -
• Michael (9/5): -
• Simon (9/5): -
• Dontenville (9/5): Nous recommandons vivement, nous y avons passé 4 nuits et c’était top - L’établissement est super bien situé dans le quartier balnéaire de Melbourne et son rapport qualité est top. Nous avons dormi dans une chambre privé avec notre propre salle de bain nous étions comme à l’hôtel ! Le seul petit bémol mais l’établissement n’y peut rien c’est que certaines personnes ne savent pas laisser des espaces propres après leur passage comme dans la cuisine
• Marie-Hélène (7/5): Good but can do better - Very good located ! The rooms are spacious and clean :) They organised a lot of activities for backpackers ! Actually the fact that for a room for 8 people we just have one toilet… And the toilet is in the bathroom. There no other showers and toilets on the level. Also, the organisation for the cleaning is very bad… On the morning there is like 8 people who came in room everyday juste for the cleaning. It’s really annoying when you want to do a lazy day. Also there is no TV room here…
• angus (10/5): It was fun - Location Not much
• Sabin Man (10/5): -
• Isabel (5/5): -
• YIXIANG (8/5): -
• Rian (8/5): - Excellent Zero
• Khajuria (8/5): Good but can get better with better cleaning of rooms - Location , value for money Cleaning of bathrooms was not done regularly. Trash cans were always full.
• Ben (9/5): -
• Nils (8/5): Modernes Zimmer mit spartanischer Einrichtung über Bar - Modernes Zimmer mit schickem Bad. Ausreichend Platz zum bewegen und mit eigener Sitzmöglichkeit, Kühlschrank und AC (Dreibettzimmer). Dachterrasse zum Essen und entspannen Nähe zum St Kilda Beach und den Pinguinen. Musik aus der Bar ist an manchen Abenden auch im Zimmer gut hörbar bis spät in die Nacht. Nachbarzimmer teilweise hörbar. Die Küche ist klein und rudimentär ausgestattet, die Herdplatten werden kaum heiß, es hat grade eben zum warmhalten des Nudelwassers gereicht. Dann lieber mit den Airfryer, Toaster oder Kontaktgrill arbeiten. ÖPNV Anbindung: Zum CBD haben wir meist 45 min gebraucht, entweder mit den Bus 246 nahe des Hostels oder mit der Tram zu der man erst weiter gehen muss.
• Newman (5/5): - Close to the beach
• Mariarita (8/5): -
• Aleksandra (8/5): -
• Alessandra (10/5): - L'ostello migliore in cui sia stata. Sono stata in ostelli più belli ma il mood del Summer house non lo batte nessuno. Il rooftop è una terapia.
• Simon (9/5): -
• Gavin (6/5): -
• Yaheli (9/5): -
• Alex (1/5): -
• Lee (8/5): F1 cheap accommodation. - Great location. Found it close to skybus bus stop. Shops not too far. Tram to city close. Pub downstairs excellent food. Overall a good experience. Very helpful staff and guests. Did feel like I was grandpa (65) and the grandkids. I would have liked to identify my bed so that each day I was out I could guarantee my spot. Should have made up a sign. Left my personal towel the first day out as a marker but towel got taken. Third day, padlock on my locker got cut off, reception had no idea what had happened. Nothing stolen from locker.
• Manon (8/5): Très appréciable - Le personnel était très accueillant, les chambres privatives sont très confortables et relativement propres ! Le fait qu'il y ait une cuisine équipée et une pièce dédiée au nettoyage du linge est un gros plus.
• Christian (10/5): -
• Lea (9/5): -
• Katherine (5/5): -
• Rainer (9/5): -
• Brenda (8/5): The bed was comfortable and the hostel was quiet enough at night. The beach was great. - The room mates were cordial and quiet although one night they came in drunk. The WIFI was exceptionally terrible and I couldn't stay online long enough to get anything done unless I went upstairs but the seats upstairs are hard. The staff was friendly and helpful. The area of town was somewhat low class. The WIFI was terrible.
• Benjamin (8/5): - Gemütliches Bett, sauberes Bad, gute Lage ins St. Kilda. Gute Möglichkeit, Anschluss zu finden, wenn man möchte
• Emma Charlotte (10/5): thank you summer house Melbourne for an incredible time!! the staff is an amazing team and they welcome everyone, it mak - the location offers something for everyone: you’re close to the beach, close to public transport and close to st kilda main streets.. summer house Melbourne offers you a chill night on the rooftop or a funny night done @the bar unfortunately they closed the tv room, even though they brought the tvs upstairs, they should leave them longer open
• Tara (9/5): Des moments incroyables - Le staff est vraiment super, toujours la pour t'aider. J'ai fais de magnifiques rencontres et j'ai même décidé de rester plus longtemps que prévu et de devenir staff moi meme. Les lits sont confortables et les douches sont propres. Vous êtes aussi très bien situé au niveau des transports Je trouve ça dommage qu'il n'y ai pas de place pour se poser quand on termine le travaille tard
• Schulz (8/5): Great plus entertainment and a fire drill - I liked everything apart from the check in said I was then I had several calls saying I had to pay upfront before ingot there even tho my card had been confirmed 👌
• Daichi (8/5): よかった。 - 清潔感があった。 シティから少し遠かった。
• Canice (7/5): - Convenient location
• Johannes (8/5): -
• Max (10/5): Fantastic hostel with lovely receptionists and charming housekeepers - Great hostel with friendly staff The hostel is perfection in a building
• Ju Chi (5/5): - Rather cheap price. The shower room is really large and clean however there are no hangers in the bathroom which make it difficult to arrange a bath. Lighting in the room is really not enough and the public space closed at 10:30 so impossible to do things that require light afterwards.
• Ethan (8/5): Nice little hostel - Bathrooms were really nice and lockers well sized. Location was great too Events weren’t for me as they were more chill and less active.
• Leo (1/5): -
• Sofia (9/5): -
• Sofia (10/5): -
• Varsity (6/5): -
• Esmee (9/5): Fijn! - Schone kamers met ruime badkamer! Fijne gemeenschappelijke ruimtes.
• Danyon (1/5): -
• Raquel (9/5): Super fun - Tudo era muito organizado, bem limpo o hostel e ainda tinha um bar com um preço maravilho na jug.
• Shel (1/5): Bad location for driver and misleading information on booking site - No clear instruction on booking.com that's its for 18yrs+ only, and was forced to cancel the booking without refund.
• Lucie (10/5): - I had such a great time there! The rooftop is a great spot to hang out and the daily events make it easy to meet people. The location in St. Kilda is perfect, bars, restaurants and the beach are all close by. 😊 I’d definitely stay there again.
• Alessandra (9/5): - L'ostello più divertente nel quale io sia mai stata. I ragazzi che lavoravo in housekeeping e in reception sono veramente carini e disponibili. L'ambiente è davvero bello e super friendly ma gli spazi confortevoli permettono anche di avere i propri spazi in caso di bisogno. Ho adorato il rooftop e il pub. Lo staff è davvero cordiale e disponibile, fatta eccezione per il ragazzo che si occupa del barbecue nel rooftop che mi ha trattata malissimo e risposto male praticamente sempre, senza alcun motivo.
• Rault (8/5): -
• Liam (1/5): -
• Katie (8/5): - Location is perfect for the beach and surrounding districts. It's also easy to get into the CBD (but you have to pay $5.30 for each way) Kitchen was excellent - really well stocked, some great cooking going on! Comfy bed Great social events organised - including a sausage sizzle, pancakes and a trivia night. Over a very cheap bar. Can rent towels. Excellent room and bathroom cleaning. Aircon in rooms! Single private bathrooms with no alternative can always be an issue. Rooftop toilets are available during the day.
