- Alessia (10/5): Best hostel ever! - I can’t say enough good things about this business. From the moment I contacted them, they were responsive and accommodating. The quality of their work is exceptional, the team is always friendly and helpful, their attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction is unparalleled. I will definitely be using their services again in the future.
Their team is dedicated to providing the best service possible, and it shows in every interaction. I was blown away by the level of professionalism and expertise displayed by this company. They went above and beyond to ensure my satisfaction. The receptionists Montse and Tatiana are kind, friendly, always ready to help and with a smile on their faces, Matteo, Eva and Louvisa are super nice and they're really good. The rooms and the common spaces are always clean. I can confidently say that they have earned a lifelong customer. That I have to leave

- Mina (8/5): - Just a couple of minutes away from a tram and bus stop. The staff was really nice and always helpful, breakfasts were satisfactory (toast + jams/peanut butter) or cereal. There were a lot of alternative milk options 👍👍 bathroom and kitchen were always clean Bunk beds aren't very stable and make a lot of noise when you climb the ladder
- Jan (8/5): -
- 蘋 (7/5): 喜歡,還會再來。 - 公共空間很多。 沒有電梯,要搬行李爬樓梯。
- hervé (8/5): -
- Leo (9/5): Wonderful accomodation - Tutto è stato di mio gradimento, dall'organizzazione, allo staff. Dalla pulizia alla colazione. La sera l'atmosfera vivace del pub sottostante può rendere più difficile il riposo

- Robin Synn (10/5): Great pub and location - Very good value, love the pub downstairs, great beer selection. Location great for a walk into St kilda or Albert park, I had a lovely time seeing the penguins on the pier. Receptionist was very friendly every time I saw her. Slept well in the dorm. Girls bathroom was closed for cleaning for a lot of the time I needed to use it

- Erin (8/5): -
- Juliana (6/5): - I think the staff was nice and the tram was close The room for six women was too small and the shower didn't have doors some just had fabric hanging there, and the kitchen sometimes was very crowded because people wanted to cook.
- Muhlich (6/5): - Mi è piaciuto il fatto che ci fosse la colazione e in generale la struttura risulta pulita. La mia camera (4 letti) era veramente troppo piccola e il letto era scomodo.
- Larry (5/5): Average - Close to track Insensitivity of staff members to my immediate problem.
- JOYSI (9/5): -
- Justin (10/5): Very pleasant - Location, staff were great. Pub is fantastic We paid $700 for two nights, instead of what would have been $140. Public holiday weekend price gouging at it’s best
- kayla (8/5): Slay - Everyone was very friendly and very clean and the location with perfect for the f1 like a 5 minute walk The water in the showers sometimes didn’t work properly and it either be very hot or very cold

- Christopher (8/5): -
- Zheng (8/5): -
- Susan (8/5): Good for the price - Te room was pretty nice It was too noisy from the room on the other side of the wall. It sounded like water gushing or moving stuff around
- Polat Can (4/5): - Receptionist guy which is the egoist one

- Raphael (6/5): -
- Ines (6/5): -
- Kylian (7/5): Poor cleanliness and noisy beds, excellent location and welcoming staff. - Location is great, Turkish guy at the reception is super friendly, including breakfast Bathroom and kitchen are not cleaned well/at all, beds creaking terrible, lots of longtermers and people who live here. They won’t change your bed linen even if you stay a week.
- Saiteja (4/5): -
- Sven (9/5): Price-wise a great option for a private room in Melbourne - We stayed for a week and it was a great base for visiting the Australian open. Close to the tram which comes every 2-3 min so you’re fairly fast in CBD. St Kilda itself is also nice and one day we walked to the beach (20 min). Albert park is also walkable.
Breakfast included, we also used the 25% discount on food and 10$ pints in the pub a lot of times which was nice 👌
Bathroom was ok The room only had a fan, sometimes it got kinda hot depending on the weather

- Carolin (8/5): Ich war nicht lange dort und habe es nur zum übernachten genutzt. Aber es war sauber. -
- Agustina (8/5): - The location is great and it was very clean. The breakfast they offer didn’t have any fruit, I don’t pretend a buffet but I think fruits are important.
- Kate (5/5): -
- Christina (10/5): -
- Pete (8/5): Excellent hostel, does the job for a good cost. Staff very friendly and helpful - We stayed here 20 years ago and it was very similar as we expected. Clean , basic room with clean shared bathroom. Still does the job, good breakfast in the bar. Windsor Arms downstairs is still excellent

- Adam (10/5): Simple,easy and met all standards - I did not try it All met expectations
- Robyn (10/5): Excellent - An amazing free breakfast, thank you for including almond and soya milk for the cereal! Comfy beds, clean showers, good kitchen. Wanted to extend my stay but was fully booked!
- Emma (9/5): Easy stay with helpful staff. - Good location, real fast down in the bar is nice and the staff are lovely. The kitchen wasn’t the cleanest, though that is definitely due to the guests while I was there, staff tried hard. But perhaps the size of space contributes.
- Rose (9/5): -
- Yiyun (1/5): - Wifi is bad
- Gabriele (8/5): -

- Juliana (7/5): Razoável - Da localização, da limpeza e do pequeno-almoço incluido Das camas, deveriam ter pelo menos cortinas para mais alguma privacidade
- Ramiro (1/5): Terrible - They advertise free parking and its fake they dont have, kitchen and eating area are the smallest i have seen in a hostel, i didnt even sleep the night i went to airbnb, i tried to sleep but everyone in the room where talking on the phone and making nosie, by far the worse experience i had in a hostel, the staff all good tho

- Charyn (1/5): Im also aware that they don’t want Australian backpackers staying in their two hostels located in stkilda - Nothing Basically I have stayed in this hostel and their sister hostel (where I was sexually assaulted by one of their guest) the management on the pint on punt has made a cowardly decision to kick me out of this hostel for no good reason other than I had supposedly made some people uncomfortable. When I asked him what I had done he said I can’t tell you….No discussion was made I was just thrown out onto the street. He also lied about evicting me! And refuses to give me his managers details. He told me Agoda made the mistake with their booking website and that the pint on punt was booked out for the duration of my booking. He then cowardly wrote an email that I am not welcome there. It’s disgusting behaivour.
- Eptein (7/5): - Great location
Right above a nice pub Rooms did not have curtains!!!!
Small kitchen without the most basic. Doesn't fit for that amount of people
Small common area, doesn't fit for that amount of people
Lack of toilets and showers
It's cheaper in comparison to other hostel but you get much less
