Build with the history & vision of the original St Kilda culture. Although Barkley St overall may be in need of a renovation. Conveniently close to McDonalds & when it was time to go a tram only metres away.

Top few rungs of the bunk bed were broken off so getting into bed required some acrobatics. Very rarely were the staff at the desk so ended up calling to phone to see if they’d appear which is when they’d promptly get of the couch they where chilling on to actually help me. There are also no rules in place such as no talking/lights off after a certain time, people would be chatting loudly in the dorms and turning lights on past 11

Verified traveller

Liked: Staff & service
The staff at the hostel were really polite and very helpful. The issue is that there were too many people living in the hostel long term that keep the room a mess, there are storage lockers that short term guests can't use as the long term people use them as wardrobes, and the long term girls in my room went out of their way to make me feel uncomfortable, complaining to each other whenever I entered the room that short term guests shouldn't be allowed to stay in the hostel and that I should be made to leave. It was more like a cheap shared house for them rather than a social hostel for anyone to stay at, so if you're staying long term then this would be great but if not then don't bother.
