Pros: The location was not bad, with plenty on eateries nearby. If looking to stay and use public transport this was also pretty much at your doorstep. The bed was comfortable and the staff were great.

Cons: The room was poky. There was a chair, but no way you could put it at a bench so you could work on your computer or even just eat a meal. Although happy that they offer parking ($10 a day which is not bad) you do have to walk 100 or so metres to get to it. Not a big deal, except during my stay it was raining and this was a bit of a pain.

Pros: Customer service was fantastic

Cons: Bathroom wasn't very clean. Was too warm in the room even when I turn it down to 1.

Cons: 2 issues I had left me a little mind boggled. First one was my mini bar in room I used both waters on the first night and left them on the bench to be replaced and they never where the empty bottles stayed on the bench for duration of stay. Second issue was I was declined on my third nights stay by a lady at the bar to book my drinks to my room stating that I never had credit card against my room so I was embarrassed as this wasn't the case so I paid cash then went to reception and was told by staff I had reached by bond which I placed down and had to place down another, I actually thought you would be happy I was spending money at your establishment and simply would have notified me in another manner or just extended my line of credit but to just embarrass my in front of colleagues I felt was uncalled for.

Pros: Short cab ride to city, spa bath down stairs is nice and warm after a long day of travelling, room was huge

Cons: I love the place till checkout time, I stood at counter for five ten minutes while 2 rude staff Didn’t add knowledge me and stayed on their computers! I understand if they are busy but a hello won’t be long would have been nice, not just nothing. Where the lady the night before was so nice!

Pros: I liked the location and the view from the windows. I appreciate the spotless apartment.

Cons: As I was travelling with family I wanted to have an option to cook so at least one medium pot would be welcome. In addition, some salt, pepper and olive oil would be a nice addition too.

Pros: The location is close to Monash University and near the tram line that runs directly to Flinders Street. Only a 3.5km walk to Melbourne city.

Cons: Gym could use some additional facilities such as free weights and cleaning products.

Pros: It was close to tram

Pros: 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

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

Pros: Bed was comfy & staff were lovely !

Cons: No hair dryer! Noisey in corridor!

Pros: No anything I like

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

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

Pros: 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...

Cons: 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?

Pros: 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

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

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

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

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

Cons: 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.

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

Cons: 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.
