Did not enjoy our stay here at all. We felt if was very uncontrolled, and that all the focus went into the pub downstairs and nothing went into the hostel. It was very loud, the rooms were very small and crowded, and the kitchen was absolutely terrible. Do not stay here.

Brilliant atmosphere, be sure to visit the bar for breakfast in the morning and a beer with a meal in the evening..

People can make noise all night long... There is no control from the staff. It's also faraway from Melbourne city.

Cool place to stay, fun friendly staff and the free breakfast was a bonus. the irish pub below has great character and we had a few awesome nights there. Clean for a hostel, deposit needed for locker so was pretty secure.

We had a nice stay at this hostel. Although we had a ventilator in our room it was quite hot. For the summer months it would be better to chose a hostel with air conditioning. Our room was clean and we had an own fridge. The bathroom was clean too. All in all we would recommend this hostel to younger persons who are looking for party.

One of the best hostels i have stayed in, in Oz. Very friendly and helpful staff. the free breakfast and the $6 meal at night was very good. the bar downstairs was very nice and homely, and the bar staff were extremely good and helpful, as were the $4 wines. there was plenty to do at night, from the trivia to karaoke and poker and live entertainment at the weekend.

Kind stuff. Very convenient location. Good price. Very poor signal of WiFi in room 23. Not convenient sink (separate cold and hot taps) and broken bed (concave bed and standaway metal coil end) in room 23.

Cleanliness of Bathroom and Kitchen was good, typical Hostel-Breakfast with Toast and Cereals, stayed in a double room for a week and it would have been nice if someone would have cleaned the room at least once. Otherwise I enjoyed my stay, very convenient location.

Great pub with very friendly and helpful staff and management. Proximity to Melbourne city, St. Kilda beach, shops and night spots fantastic. Entertainment at pub was great fun. Safe environment. I highly recommend the pub as somewhere to stay because it was good value for my dollars.

Overall we got what we paid for! Very basic rooms. Although we were very tired we couldn't check in till 1pm, then although booked a double room in advance got given a twin, but staff did get us another room quite promptly. In the room the fan was falling apart and the TV was broken so it was a good job we were only staying there just to sleep. However, free breakfast was a bonus - even though it was just bread and cereal, tea and coffee. All in all a nice cheap friendly place to rest your head

We're glad to hear that overall you enjoyed your stay. We only wish that you'd popped down and let us know about the fan and TV. We would've promptly organised repairs. We hope you had a safe trip back home. Kind regards, Pint on Punt
