Liked: the open backgrounds where you can enjoy your meal nice location near the beach, gigantic television, reletively cheap internet. great kitchen equipmen but no oven. nice bathrooms

Disliked: the fact that the staff is only availible from 10 am till 10 pm a lot of stressing poeple before that for checkout (key deposi) and after 10 pm poeple that are looking for a place to stay is sometimes anoying. when the staff is there most of the time they are quit hectic when they are busy. the staf counts a extra rounded amount on the 5% creditcard use. the fact that the upper bunkbed doesnt have a ladder.

Liked: Great location, 5min walk from the beach and plenty of bars/restaurants in the area. Front gate is locked at night so feels very safe. Bathrooms were very clean and well maintained, shame that the rest of the hostel was not upto this standard.

Disliked: Front desk guy (Tony?) was very rude on check in. An all round in your face blunt guy. Started the experience off badly for this hostel.

10 December 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Felt very secure (the outside gate is locked at night as well as the front door of the building and the rooms). There is only one shower per bathroom, so you don't have to shower with others hanging around like in most hostels around Europe... it's almost like you've got an ensuite (just have to time it right otherwise you could be in for a wait!).

Disliked: The mosquitoes! I was eaten alive here! Also you cannot bring any outside visitors into the building, good in some ways but it doesn't feel all that welcoming when you can't even have a mate hang out with you in the common areas... The bed was pretty old and didn't feel all that supportive.

Liked: nothing much to be liked

Disliked: This is extremely old building with mysterious atmosphere inside. It has dark, feeling-wet, smelly long corridor that makes you feel like in any typical horror movie.

04 April 2010 James would recommend this property

Liked: I read some horror reviews after I had already paid for a deposit and was very sceptical about staying here. Pretty much a decent enough backpackers at a reasonable price in st kilda. Older building , maybe not the cleanest but I was happy enough with it , and met some great people too.

Disliked: James left no negative feedback.

Customer review

14 February 2010

Liked: The supposedly clean sheets were incredibly smelly. Also, the fire alarm went off at roughly 5am resulting in the fire brigade turning up at the front door. My friend and I had to let them in. There was nobody associated with the hostel present to deal with them.

Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.
