Coffee Palace Backpackers Reviews

watch out for the third floor shower. It doesnt exist

CP is the biggest MESS i have ever seen, its stinky, loud....its BAD....DONT GO THERE! There r much nicer, cheaper and better located hostels in melb...cheers

Location superb - bars/restaurants of St Kilda,Luna park,the beach nearby.15 minute tram ride into city. Great atmosphere, easy to meet people everyone congregates in bar and heads out. Free breakfast. Cleanlieness major problem needs a lick of paint everywhere. Bed bugs everywhere,I saw a lot of guests complain. A lot of toilets out of order and kitchen needs to be better equipped. Manager very helpful but some staff need to be trained by him instead of surfing the web giving minimal help.

I booked a four bed room and was uchanged to a six bed room without any notice. When we got up to the room the room was trashed and according to the girl in it who had been there for three weeks it hadn't been cleaned whilst she was there. There was rubbish every where, particularly under the beds, there was no bin or toilet paper. A man briefly came up to clean it, gave us an already full bin and said it was the cleaners fault. I would never stay here again, or recommend it to anyone.

Coffee Palace actually needs to be knocked down, its an old bug infested building. The majority of the staff are rude, kitchen, showers etc are not clean (think 3rd world standards) After showering you still feel dirty.

After my 7 months here in Australia this is one of the worse hostel I have stayed at.

This was the most disgusting hostel i have stayed in the toilets and showers were so dirty

great drinking night out

it is a nice place at the heart of st Kilda

The Hostel took ages to book into for myself and then 2 of my friends, this led to us feeling confused and slightly pushed aside by staff. It's cleanliness is somewhat of a joke as I left with flu symptoms. There were mice running around in the lobby and downstairs rooms. I would not book nor attempt to stay in coffee palace again after this instance.

Fun Hostel located close to puns and clubs. Hostel has a good common room and has a good atmosphere.

The staff was incredibly helpful, and nightly activities were great.

Hey, Cleanliness biggest issue, but OK though. temperature in shower is never constant and no hoses.\ Staff very polite and interested, rooms look like Hospital Cells, very quiet and enjoyable place anyway because of the cool ppl how make party but are quiet in the halls. Relaxed Roof Smoking Area, cool!

we looked up the price online it said 15 bucks a night, went to the hostel and they said 22 bucks. we went back online, booked it for 15 bucks a night and came back to a very confused young man at the hostel reception. not really professionell.

bathrooms aren't as good as i've already seen so far. not enough hooks on the wall and no sockets. no soap or paper towels as well. the cleanness of the dorms is okay though. there is no internet accsess in the hostel available but across the street at peterpans travel agency you can go for free.

Great place and great staff - highly recommended!!

Not Perfect but great fun
