About this property

Ritz Backpackers is finally re-opening with a face elevator including all new bunk beds with privacy curtains, charger points, bed light and fan! Plus, you get free wifi, large communal kitchen, common area with pool table and a communal outdoor terrace. Guests also receive discounts on our awesome new sports bar and grill called Harvey’s located just downstairs. Located in the heart of St Kilda, we are surrounded by plenty of great café’s, restaurants and nightlife. And with the convenience of a tram stop right out the front which can get you to St Kilda beach in 5 mins or into the CBD within 20 mins. Ritz Backpackers is your perfect stay while you are in Melbourne. We are an international backpackers hostel and require an international passport for check-in at all times.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.3 for a two-person trip.
