St Arnaud Reviews

Great place to stay. I can really recommend it.

Single room a little too small and for that too pricy. Restrooms and showers need renovation. But good bed, good kitchen, good atmosphere.

Girls behind the desk were very helpful. Some of the fittings in the bathroom need fixing. Pretty decent overall

good hostel

Poor facility: only one toilet on each floor, although there are 3 showers but one of those is where the toilet is situated.

Good location, great facility and very interessting to have free breakfast and free stuff for making lunch and dinner (rice and pasta)

We loved St. Arnaud. Yes it is old but it is clean. We loved the neighbourhood also. It is about a 20 minute walk to the city but the area is so beautiful and safe. The free wifi is great and the staff were very friendly.

this is a really nice, quiet and comfy hostel. great if you want to do your own things but wouldn't be good if you're wanting a party hostel. breaky in the morning is a nice touch too.

i kept calling the hostel the day i checked in trying to tell them i will be arriving late but no one answered the phone.then i got there at 10 pm,tere was no one there,the street was quiet````have to say it was a good hostel,decorations r lovely,but in the night it could be a little creppy```

The hostel was nice but very quiet. Close to the city centre. Fine for a short stay with friends.

This was my second stay at St Arnaud's and I would go back again. The location, quiet atmosphere and price are great. The office hours were generous but it was understaffed as there was only 1 person on at any time that I was there during the January holiday period. Customers were sometimes left unattended at the office and the staff member working was really busy: she really earned her pay.

Place looked like it hadn't been touched in 15 years. Bathrooms were rundown and showers were a nightmare to get right (hot, cold, hot, cold). One of the fridges in our room was very noisy as well. The whole place could do with a lick of paint!

Good points =nice dining/tv room& back garden. Only 15 min tram from Flinders Street Station. Reception staff will book trips. Internet available.Bad points = for 90 dollars my room was overpriced very dated and needed a good clean. I woke up on my first morningwith bites on my feet. Communal shower was horrible, I dreaded getting in it all the plaster was coming off and looked unclean. Kitchen closing at 9pm v annoying and no staff there after 9pm is not good, particularly if locked out.

the mattress was very bad...

We stayed in this guest house for 2 nights during December '11, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The free breakfast was fantastic. the kitchen was well stocked, the TV room was full of videos and had a good choice available on the satellite tv, the rooms were clean tidy and fresh with new towels every morning. The fridges in our room were an added bonus and a good touch. Two good night's sleep at this hostel we will certainly stay again.
