St Kilda East Backpackers' Hostel

The toilets and showers where tiny and not nice and was dirty

The hostel is well located and provides free parking. It is a normal house and not a hotel at all. A few people stay there and the place is quiet and looked after. The owner is approachable and tries to help if asked. It's more of a home away from home but nothing flash. Comfortable and peaceful.

I promise you you'd rather sleep on the street. Place is very very dirty. Owner is... yeah... very hostile, very angry, very unpleasant and generally just not informative or helpful at all. Can not recommend.

I paid way to much for so little, no toilet paper or anything, grass over grown and everything just so discusting. Id ask for a refund but i dont know how to submit for on. Booked for 2 nights stayed for one and left on the second.

reservation on Booking, arrived on site, ignoble room, which smells of cigarette smoke, rainwater running through the ceiling, completely dead bedding, broken cupboards with waste in them, disastrous sanitary facilities... I call immediately there owner to announce that I would not sleep under her conditions, after a long negotiation she announces to me that she is canceling my stay except that she made Booking believe that it was me who canceled the reservation so no refund possible and I can't even put an opinion on Booking. establishment to flee !!!

When we first approach the backpackers, it looks so rundown. When we walked inside, it was disgusting crammed people sleeping on sofas in the hallways. When we arrive the host tried to get extra money for us because it was the F1 weekend. We paid for three nights Shuriken, it wasn’t enough I said no, she threatened to throw us out after the second night. I refused and showed her the paperwork what said we paid for three nights. After Air second night, they took a bookshelf out of the bedroom and put another stretcher for someone to sleep and made at seven in the bedroom. Your broken toilet you had to walk sideways into the toilet close the door. When you sat down your knees were touchin , and made at seven in the bedroom. Your broken toilet. You had to walk sideways into the toilet close the door. When you sat down you knees were touching the door. No hot water in the shower and also we had to bring our own toilet paper. I wouldn’t recommend this place to My in worst enemies.

There was no photos online and no refunds for a reason please do not stay here waste of money no toilet paper and very rude owner

This hostel is so cool! The people and staff are very friendly, rooms are spacious with very comfy beds and a funky outdoor area and a relaxed, chilled safe feeling environment! Would recommend!
