Great location, in a quieter area but with easy acces to the center! The hostel has everything you need, it's clean and the beds are comfortable! The staff is super nice and the manager Tais deserves a shout-out for her kindness and professionalism!

For over a week, this place truly felt like my home away from home. Despite being a big hostel with lots of people, the bathrooms and showers are always clean, and there’s always toilet paper, something that is crucial for a pleasant stay. The kitchen is spacious and invites to cook and enjoy proper meals. They provide three large fridges in which you can store your food. The location is unbeatable, right in the heart of St Kilda. You have a Woolies just a minute away, a tram station that gets you to the city center in 20 minutes, and stunning beachside sunsets only a 10-minute walk away. There are a few gyms around, nice coffee shops and restaurants. Also Albert Park, which is amazing for a morning job and see the skyline of the city. What makes this place even more special is the community vibe. They organize daily activities that bring people together from all over the world, offering a chance to connect, share experiences, and even enjoy free wine, beer, and food! Be sure to join the Whatsapp group upon check-in so you don’t miss out on anything. Special shoutout to Miguel and Ana, two incredible souls who made my stay truly unforgettable. Thank you Roamer for such a warm and welcoming arrival in Melbourne!

I’ve been there almost 3 months and I really enjoyed my time here. The size of the hostel is amazing, the location is really good and the people are amazing.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
