Base St Kilda Reviews

Great hostel for partying- helpful and friendly staff, but a bit far from the city if you want to escape the backpacker/ St Kilda bubble. But that reflects my own locational preference, rather than the hostel, which was great! Definitely recommend.

would do it again

Great hostl, the best weve stayed in so far on our trip. Staff are friendly, the facilities are clean & boozy bingo is one of the best nights in Melbourne.

A nice place to stay at Sta Kilda.

This hostel was just OK, but not the best I've stayed in. The girly theme of the Sanctuary female only rooms was quite nice, having a free hairdryer and free magazines, though it was a shame staff forgot to give me my free towel. I thought my room was quite dirty, and although I saw cleaners come in everyday, they didn't clean the room properly as there were lots of dirty corners and places they missed. I didn't use a locker because it was so full of dirt and rubbish! Staff were nice though.

Modern, hip, clean and very adequate facility. Guests PARTY HARD and the music bumps well into the night--beware.

Can be really loud in the Evening... Its a Party Hostel...so be prepared to use your earplugs. These guys get really drunken!

Stereotypical BASE but def one of the nicer ones. Great location in St. Kilda itself. Short-ish tram ride into the City but easy to do. Great atmosphere. Got lucky with my timing at St Kilda festival.

It was great to stay there. The staff were friendly and it was fun to stay there.

A perfect place !

Very friendly, lots of fun

Amazing hostel and bar! Awesome staff cant wait to go back!

loved our stay at base...was a great welcome to oz!!! had so much fun in the bar was too hard to leave it :)

Base is a lovely hostel when you want to party and meet new friends, but if you don't like drunk people and you want a quite and clean room you shouldn't go to Base. There's only 1 shower + toilet available for a dorm, so sharing your shower with 10 people is a bit much. It's also kinda expensive for a hostel. They organise something every evening and that's fun.

If you're looking for a party hostel get in ! If you're looking for something quiet and peaceful, skip it. In dorms the space between the upper and the lower bed is ridiculously small. Water pressure is very low in showers. You have to pay for luggage storage. Staff is ok but each individual will tell you different information, frustrating.

Great hostel but was charged $40 for a 8 bed dorm. The Australian open being the cause I'd imagine.

Great location with plenty of planned activities. Even free BBQ!

This hostel was exactly as described, great location, facilities, secure and friendly helpful staff. Definitely a party place so a good idea to bring earplugs and sleeping mask in case. Great place to stay.

I liked it there, but it's kind of far from the centre (the tram takes about 40 minutes to get to Federation Square). There is party almost everyday, being so, it's kinda of hard to get to sleep before 02:00 a.m. if you are on the first floor.

Hostel was nice, good location and friendly people, just felt prices were too high during the tennis open.
