Good spot with great facilities. Everything you need and staffed with friendly and helpful people. Dorms of 8 with one ensuite bathroom might have a busy run to use the bathroom in the morning if everybody wakes up at similar times.

Booked three nights to begin with and weeks down the line I'm still here! Awesome place to meet new people. Everywhere is clean and secure! Nights are amazing! Also really easy to get places via tram outside or day trips booked at reception! Definitely worth a visit!

Staff were great - helpful and friendly. Nightly activities in the bar are good but drinks expensive. The room smelled which was a combination of people's stuff and that it was very poorly ventilated. Bathroom had no opening window and condensation is creating mould, and making the whole room damp and smell.

This was by far the best hostel I have ever stayed at! The staff were amazing and everyone is very friendly which is great if your a lone traveller. Lots of activities on site and just a stone throw from great eats and bars. The beach was also exceptional! Look forward to my next visit (minus the black bin liner) ;)

The freebies and daily activities have been good. I did not like the dirty kitchen, strangers in the hostel room ( security?) And that everything took place at the bar, they tried hard to get you in there every day. Would have prefered some specials or discounts around St. Kilda.. Bedrooms and ensuites.nice and clean. Party hostel
