Such a fun hostel! Feels at home everyone is so accommodating and it makes you feel like you’ve been staying for a year when it’s only been a day or two. Javier on his little roller blades kills it on his late night/ morning shift, don’t know how he had the energy but he does. He is so helpful as well. Isaac I love Isaac and his bingo nights and massive enthusiasm for his job. Would stay again 10/10

Hostelworld says

Base St Kilda is a spacious and modern backpackers' hostel located just five minutes from Luna Park and the beach. There are also two stops outside with lines going directly to the centre of Melbourne. Hostelworld guests tell us this hostel has a friendly party atmosphere and helpful staff who provide nightly themes, parties and games in the lively onsite bar. We like that all their rooms are ensuite.
