    “Avoid this Nightmare Hostel!”

    Supposedly an award winning design - Base Backpackers St Kilda is little more than a nightclub with bunk beds. If being kept up until 4.00am by thumping music and stampeding teenagers is your idea of fun then by all means go ahead book this hostel. This place is a complete nightmare and redefines what is meant by the words 'hostel' and 'hospitality' - the staff are most unhelpful - the rooms are small -and do not feel particularly secure. Despite having booked a week at this place - thankfully I was able to book an excellent hotel in Fitzroy Street around the corner for much the same price.

    Area recommendations
    Melbourne is a spectacular city - and you will find that all neighbourhoods have their special character and attractions. St Kilda is an interesting mix of seaside resort and urban - close to and within easy access to the main metropolis. A visit to Luna Park is well recommended and from there it is brilliant to walk along the Prom to South Melbourne. The tram network links all parts of the city. Architecture at Federation Square is surreal and superb. Make sure you visit both sites for the National Gallery of Victoria both are excellent. Melbourne is Australia at its best - architecture, heritage, culture and food are of outstanding quality!

    “Fun and convenient place to be..”

    The facilities are basic. Shared room but with bathroom is OK. A noisy night club is attached. There is a travel desk, and it is very useful. Computers are available, with buffet breakfast at $6 per meal. Very convenient location for restaurants, cafes, shops, and trams etc.

    Area recommendations
    Downtown Melbourne aND THE Gt Ocean Road. Riverside cafes and pubs around Flinders st.

    “Avoid at any cost!”

    Ok, it was a Hostel, but even for a hostel the standards are poor and price is high. When I checked in this dude in the room told me my bed was taken... I could smell dirty feet all over the room... a couple of working boots and cement spread all over the carpet. The room was for 8 people and all 8 were Irish backpackers who have been living there for 2 months. It was a party room. Next morning I check out and found a decent hotel.
