The hostel was perfectly located because it was waking distance to all the restaurants and shops. The front desk gave a perfect recommendation for places to eat and things to do. Would definitely go back.
This space is so good for the price. It is clean and the room I got was very large (queen room with double bed). It has a surf, bohemian vibe so you feel like you’re overseas at some friend’s beach shack. Compared to other hostels it is very clean, it smells so good in the building! It is definitely not new, so it has the rustic charm of older Melbournian buildings. Be mindful this is not a hygiene issue but the general style of the building.
This St Kilda Roamer has a rotating staff that really cares about residents and put in time to understand their journey. The team is really relaxed, and will try to help out. I always see staff cleaning and keeping up with housekeeping. However if you’re looking for something like a hotel experience it’s unfair to compare this space as it is designed more for diverse casual travellers. In your private rooms, you get kettle, tea, coffee, hotel sheets, towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash.
It feels like a co-share cafe space at the front so it’s got a nice nomad vibe. It is better than the city location which gets more traffic and feels very crowded. If you’re looking for a place to explore Melbourne St Kilda is a great hot spot for travellers as internationals hangout here! More hostels and co-work spaces should try to build on this Roamer St Kilda location as it is not too crowded and feels like you’re going to a friends open beach shack home.
I would love to stay longer as there are heaps to explore in the area and it feels very comfortable to stay here.

Good price, close to tourist attractions Various restaurants near train station I like that there are curtains for each bed. Even if you sleep in a shared room, you still have privacy. very good. I would like to recommend staying here.
Great value option to stay in Melbourne, confortable rooms, shared bathrooms but they have been renovated recently, shared small kitchen too. We enjoyed a lot our stay. The area is very good, very well conected with downtown. 100% recomended. Very friendly, welcoming and helpful staff.

Female room had private curtains across the beds and individual power points and bed lights. Room was unexpectedly quiet. Staff were efficient at check in. Shared bathrooms were clean. Perfect location.

The biggest and perhaps the only major problem with this hostel is the noise from within the building. Great noise reduction for outside activities, but the nature of the building is flawed, so the amount of noise you will hear from the common room open corridor which every room faces is very loud.
Other than this, it is quite a good hostel, one of the better ones you could stay at. I was in a private room which had some decent amenities, however the pillows were quite lumpy haha.
The other guests were quite disrespectful of rules unfortunately, not considering others in the kitchen with cleanliness etc.
Staff are 10/10 amazing! I want to take them all home with me 😂
Great location just a five minute drive to Woolies. The room is very clean with plenty of supplies like plates, bowls, tablewares, cotton swabs... The owner is pretty kind as well. Affordable and quality accommodations.
The manager was very nice, the hotel rooms are located at 2/F but he is willing to help with the luggage carry even without request.
The hotel location is fantastic, only 20-30 mins to Melbourne central (one tram only after you get the skybus from airport as well).
supermarket, restaurant, cafe, gelato shop around as well.
Clean, big room, nice toilet&restroom, nice kitchen, nice laundry.
Highly recommend that hotel, definitely my priority choice if I come to Melbourne again.
The only bad side is the room at 2/F that you have to carry your stuff up and down if you buy lots of things. And watch out especially in rainy day as it’s a metal stair.

Great for stopover or budget conscious traveller as location is great, near railway station, restaurants, supermarkets, etc. Well managed but apparently little to no interaction from staff. Believe it would be great if staff is more proactive in nurturing relationships with guests so as to give it more life and meaning. Just a suggestion but overall, value for money.
It was comfortable and nice that it was a hostel but had a private bathroom in the room! It was close to the beach and had various facilities so it would be good for a long-term stay.
Very Good

SSRuss83I stayed in Box Hill motel between 3rd of Nov'23 - 5th of Nov'23. My husband and I arrived at Box Hill motel around 12-1pm. We were so exhausted as we took turn driving from Sydney - Melbourne. We drove from Sydney past midnight. Upon calling if we would be let in early, surprisingly it is allowed. Otherwise we would have slept in the car until check-in time if the room isn't ready yet. We got room no.1 and it was very clean. I didn't use the towel as I prefer to use my own towel, my husband also use his own towel.
One of the hanging towel though had a snot on it and I put that towel aside despite we didn't use it. There were 3x plates in total and one of the plate was dirty and I assumed previous guest must have used this 1 plate and didn't wash it but instead just slipped it in between the clean plate. We used 2x plates for ourselves but I washed the 3x plates myself.
Great Wifi speed too as I was able to complete a little bit of work from Room no.1.
My parents always taught me to appreciate and respect people's places. Upon checking out, I saw Carol and OMG, she is so kind, friendly, down to earth and helpful. She was busy rolling people's luggage to their room. I remember my father always taught me the great businessman is not the one who always wanted to be served but the one who knew how to serve others first. There's a saying about ”servant leadership”. A great leader know how it feels to be at the bottom to observe, learn and serving others as well as better appreciate the top and experience various roles to understand the duties and responsibilities of each roles.
THANK YOU Box hill motel team and Carol too for allowing us to stay at your beautiful clean and tidy place. We were able to sleep very soundly, hope nobody can hear us snoring :)
I highly recommend Box Hill motel, Melbourne to anyone on a trip to Melbourne.

GGuest UserConveniently located, competatively priced and great pick up and drop off service to/from airport. Clean room and friendly staff. Nothing to complain about.
TThomasAnother amazing stay at Sandors! We love how it’s within walking distance to the cinema, supermarket and Working Man’s Club! Great breakfast included and the friendliest of staff. Cya again very soon!!!
GGuest UserAndrew and Michelle were lovely and very friendly, gave us great advice on takeaway fish and chips for dinner and even better directions, would not have found it without them. Room was exceptionally clean with everything you need for short stay. Comfortable, spacious and even had a bonus electric blanket. Keep up the good work 😊
EExploring our one precious worldWe stayed one night at the Sandpiper Motel in Apollo Bay during peak season. On the positive side, the room was exceptionally clean, and the embroidered details on the bedding, pillow slips, and face towel were a lovely touch that added a sense of care and thoughtfulness to the decor.
However, our stay was not without its issues. Room 5; Throughout the night, there was a persistent high-pitched noise whenever water was used in our block of rooms, which disrupted our sleep, not helpful if you are a light sleeper. This was particularly disappointing given the cost of over 500 NZD for one night.
Additionally, while the self-check-in process was efficient, the lack of any staff presence left the motel feeling impersonal and made it impossible to seek assistance when needed. For example, there was no way to address the plumbing issue or request additional items like more face towels during our stay.
While we appreciated the cleanliness and the attention to detail in the room design, these other factors made the experience less enjoyable than we had hoped. We hope this feedback helps improve the experience for future guests.
