Melbourne Hostellit

Plussat: Cheap drinks and food at the bar! Bathroom in the room. Guitars and piano free to use. Private parking.

Miinukset: Could be a bit more clean but ok for backpackers.

Plussat: Very clean, nice location, great environment

Plussat: Vessat ja suihkutilat siistit ja toimivat.

Miinukset: Keittiö siivoton, koska kaikki asiakkaat eivät siivonneet jälkiään.

Plussat: So many recycling options - love it!!

Miinukset: Could do with coat hooks in the rooms to hang coats in winter.

Plussat: Bed was comfortable and room was noise proof.

Miinukset: There was a sign on the wall saying the bathroom items, coffee, tea and bed sheets would be changed daily but I spent four days there and nothing was changed or replaced.

Plussat: Nice, friendly staf!

Miinukset: Tram to melbourn stopes right in front of the hostel!

Plussat: Front desk was open 24/7 with friendly staff. Kitchen was big enough. Beds were clean and comfortable and toilets were clean.

Miinukset: Bed frames were a little squeaky. Similar to other hostels I've been to, the room had a funky smell of wet clothes and shoes but still bearable during my stay there.

Plussat: Good service by staff

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Electric Kettle did not work

Miinukset: Location

Miinukset: The loud noise/music when I entered and was trying to check in. And the length of time it took to check in.

Plussat: the receptionists were fun, the facilities provided and the whole atmosphere in general were really good

Miinukset: the only issue with that place was the horrible smell of dirty socks/shoes in the room. It was unbearable and I was in a room with just 5 people. There are rules on the hostel about stinky shoes but guests don't always respect that. Apart from that, everything else was perfect

Plussat: Location and price

Miinukset: Cleaniness was really bad

Plussat: The bed was comfortable and the sheets were fresh and clean. Towels and shower toliteries were also provided. The basic breakfast was also good with homemade pancakes.

Miinukset: There was noise in the hallway from other guests and didn’t seem to be quiet hours. The couch in the room was disgusting with stains on it.

Plussat: Beds were really comfy, secure storage, large dining area and good social areas. Close to st kilda beach but also well connected to the city.

Miinukset: Quite smelly in dorms of sweat and damp, mold on walls.

Plussat: Nothing really

Miinukset: The room was gross. There are people living in there who stink. Needs to be cleaned often

Miinukset: Ilmapiiri ei ollut erityinen. Hostellissa vierailijat olivat tavallista enemmän vain omissa oloissaan ja kaveriporukoissaan. Hostellissa oli hiiriä.

Plussat: Comfortable bed, location close to the beach

Miinukset: No hand wash in the shower/bathrooms, no recycling facilities, no hooks in the rooms to hang coats on, The organisation of everyone's food is a bit chaotic. Place is a bit dark and run down

Plussat: Nice place to make friends with nice social areas

Miinukset: The room was very cold. We asked for heater in advance and was gave for someone else. The maximum we got was an extra blanket but wasn't enough. The corridor has a funny smell.

Plussat: The staff were really friendly and make you feel comfortable.

Miinukset: The room where I stay was all boys and i feel uncomfortable and it was so messy dirty and not clean. No good for the hostel.

Plussat: Reception was good.

Miinukset: Lots of mouses in the room. Room smelled terrible. Never smelled something like this before...

Plussat: Beds are the best!

Miinukset: Small kitchen.

Plussat: It is a very large hostel with a lot of ambience. There is an outdoor terrace. It is in a great location. Pancakes for breakfast by Catherine were excellent. She was also very friendly. There was a TV in my room. Shower gel, shampoo/ conditioner and towels were provided. I was allowed to leave my luggage in storage for several hours.

Miinukset: When I arrived the guy on front desk was not very informative. I also had to ask twice for a heater as there was no heating in my double room. There were no cupboards or wardrobe in my room to hang my clothes. My room was noisy as I could hear teaffic and some fellow hostelliees were noisy and inconsiderate late at night. There were many unfriendly tourists there.

Plussat: Great location, great place, great staff if you haven't stayed at base backpacker's st Kilda you need to book it in and remember the name

Plussat: Great place to go and stay on a budget great double room with private bath room is great price and friendly staff too

Plussat: Bed was comfy & staff were lovely !

Miinukset: No hair dryer! Noisey in corridor!

Plussat: No anything I like

Miinukset: The room is very dirty the roommate also very dirty too

Plussat: The staff were so friendly especially laura g on reception! Great vibe would recommend!

Plussat: It is a really fun place, the bar downstairs is always busy and it generally seems like there’s someone to talk to. Must be that beach vibe...

Miinukset: Unfortunately the backpacking staff just give the place a bad vibe, they’re pretty insular (i.e. they won’t talk to you directly unless you are one of them) and have a HUGE ego. Like you’re just on a trip in Australia. That doesn’t make you elite? They come directly into the room regularly to vibe you up about something cool and exciting that’s going on (walking tours or whatever) which may or may not be annoying for you, but will definitely never be as exciting as they try to make it sound. The kitchen facilities are pretty average with the fridges always being choc-a-bloc with stuff, and the pantry is just hooks on a wall? The curtain in my room was broken unfortunately, and once or twice (in two weeks) the hot water didn’t work. Also, they make you use an app on your phone in order to open the doors (but which you can also use to message other guests. The hostel will also send you constant updates through notifications with one being the daily password for the wi-fi), and one night I heard one of the full-time staff trying to break a door down because the device on the door had stopped working. But getting back to the staff, they’re honestly quite trash at their job. I told them I’d lost my wallet and after speaking to three of them separately, not one of them asked what it looked like, or mentioned what would happen if it showed up after I left? Like that is just poor bedside manner. Your job is not just to sit there and look pretty, this is a business isn’t it?

Plussat: Overall we had an enjoyable stay, room was a bit small, was presented neat and tidy upon arrival, staff were brilliant in helping any way they could

Miinukset: Being woken up at 3;30am due to paddy the Irish experienceing a night out on the turps

Plussat: The bed is clean and comfortable. The staffs are accomodating

Miinukset: The bed height is too low, my head hit the upper bunk a lot of times.

Plussat: I like the location, everything is closed , supermarket, beach, restaurant , pubs and other stuff.

Miinukset: I booked 4mix bed, I shared with 2 guys and the guys looks like they lives there so the bedroom was smelling sweat and stinky feet. Also the backpacker didn’t gave us a towel shower and soap , on February I booked to be on melbourne CBD at mix bed as well and the gave to you cleaner everyday on the bedroom, clean towel and breakfast as included. Other thing the guys with a shared the room started talk at 4am and didn’t stop so this woke me up and my friend too.

Plussat: Our private double bed en-suite room was comfy and nice

Miinukset: The kitchen and the cleanliness. Horrifying. The constant promotion of night events and promos, done also through announcements on loud speakers just out of the room was also too much.

Plussat: The place was clean and it wasn't loud and the staff are just real people

Miinukset: Nothing everything was perfect

Plussat: Reasonable sized common areas. Mostly friendly backpackers . Good security. Substantial breakfast. Close to Windsor station and Chapel Street. Ok to leave bags locked up for a few hours.

Miinukset: Poor quality bunk beds. Little bed linen. Broken or malfunctioning locks on doors and lockers. No coffee at breakfast. Stale bread. Not enough room to sit and eat.

Plussat: Staff very friendly and helpful - thank you Aaron for your assistance.

Plussat: The stuff are amazing ! I booked the wrong date and they extend it for me . Then I want to check out earlier and they refund the fee ! Service is really good !

Plussat: Quite and clean

Plussat: Aaron and staff are attentive to my needs at the hostel, the general vibe of the place is friendly and there are always people to talk to.

Miinukset: The fridge has been overcrowded and on a couple of occasions some of my food went missing however the cost of this was taken from my rent.

Plussat: Aaron is really good person, when we told them it is cold, he give us 4 additional blankets, and seed email to us. The check in is convenient if people arrive late. In addition, the tram goes till 1:30am, tran goes 3 am.

Miinukset: no towel

Plussat: Perfect location Pancakes for breakfast (free) TV room, night animation, clean bathroom

Miinukset: Very noisy Bedroom so dirty, they don’t change the sheets of the bed............

Plussat: Nice location

Plussat: Stayed in a few 12 person room but it was really nice and comfortable. Had enough space as well which was great so wasn’t cramped at all.

Plussat: The location was good and the bed was comfortable.

Miinukset: The room that I was in smelled like feet and there were not enough spaces for everyone in the room to charge their phone.

Miinukset: keittiö oli todella likainen ja epäsiisti. Sängyssäni oli tuhkaa.

Plussat: Low budget for something so close to everything! And we had a good night's sleep and helpful staff.

Plussat: Pancakes every morning!!! Super delicious!

Miinukset: No lifts. I was lucky I stayed on the 2nd floor, but still, don't go with heavy luggage

Plussat: I love this hostel! Always ana amazing atmosphere! The staff are fun and helpful. Perfect location too!

Plussat: Room was nice and clean and bed was comfy. Loved the hostel bar ‘Ubar’ next door, Chordata drinks I’ve had in the city as well.

Plussat: No complaints at all from me. Had everything I needed and more. Pancakes for breakfast free of charge were a nice touch.

Plussat: Brilliant price and great value for money considering the location being right in the city! Great place.

Plussat: Mukava henkilökunta

Miinukset: Suihkutilat hieman epäsiistit. Aamupala huono, tarjolla pelkkiä pannukakkuja joka päivä.

Plussat: Lukulamppu, oma latauspiste, kaappi. Hyvä sänky, raikkaat liinavaatteet, myös kylpypyyhe

Miinukset: Kaikki eivät siivonneet keittiössä jälkiään. Keittiö myös pieni..

Miinukset: Keittiö oli liian ahdas hostellin kokoon nähden

Plussat: Staffs r Amazing!!!

Miinukset: Cleanliness Sometimes in Bathroom

Plussat: Location good

Miinukset: Cleanliness in bathrooms

Plussat: 1. Nice service from receptionists; 2. good location 3. friendly price

Miinukset: 1. The noise from nearby construction site; 2. no shampoo or body wash provided; 3. no hair dryer provided.

Plussat: The staff was amazing and super helpful with any question I could come up with. Super location as well I was at walking distance to most of the things I wanted to do. Free breakfast is always welcome and lot of privacy for those who wants to (curtains for the beds, private bathrooms)

Miinukset: No WiFi accessible in the rooms, kinda crowded (but I stayed in the 12 beds room cause it was less pricey maybe more expensive rooms don’t have this problem), the people that live there didn’t necessarily seemed like they were travelers and are generally older (it’s nothing too bad but the backpack feeling isn’t really present) so sometimes it was quite hard to initiate a conversation and although the rooms are super crowded, people keep to themselves. I’m not someone who’s particularly weary of unclean things like I actually don’t mind much but I will say the bathrooms were a little dirty and didn’t always smell good (but there’s barely any wait and every bathroom has its own sink and shower!!) and the garbages in the room are rarely if ever changed (stayed a week and no one changed it)

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: Bathrooms were filthy hall way stunk the noise from outside unbelievable and people wondering around all hrs of the night

Plussat: Aamiainen ok. Vastaanotossa työskentelevä nainen ihan huippu. Mukavat sängyt.

Miinukset: Yövyimme 3 yötä 12 hengen dormissa. Sängyissä ei ollut verhoja vaikka näin luki hostellin sivuilla. Toinen yö, huoneessa ravasi niin paljon epämääräistä porukkaa, ylimääräisiä ihmisiä tuli huoneeseen nukkumaan, eräs huoneessa myi ja käytti huumeita ja ovi pidettiin jatkuvasti auki. Seuraavana aamuna meille annettiin uusi huone jossa pitkäaikas-yöpyjiä, heti parempi.

Plussat: The hostel is very dirty

Miinukset: The staffs are good

Plussat: The people were friendly and the rooftop terrace was the highlight... Thank you...

Miinukset: Nothing for me it was a good experience

Plussat: The staffs are really excellent. They proactively make the hostel nice and clean. Moreover, they are very helpful and informative about the area. The room and facility is also very new and nice design.

Miinukset: Few long-term guests are somewhat awkward to me and I don't know how to say this without offending them. There was a huge chunk of shoes and stuff in my room. They are smell a bit and that's never in my experience in past travelling.

Plussat: Conveniently located near Melbourne CBD, curtains for privacy, provided towel.

Miinukset: Not enough to bother me.
