Everything in room old, worn out. On bed impossible to move from one s ide to another, might be broken. Window stuffed by constructions of or from steel nothing seen and no air. Besides, i asked to have my bed in female room for two and got promise ,but I end up with young German guy in little room, who half of night went there forth and his friends. I never sow such a disgusting situation , no place to change clothes. So stay was worst ever.

Great hostel. Walking distance to the beach(15min walk). Close to the supermarket so you no need to walk so far after buying your groceries. Just outside a tram stop. Remember to bring your own utensils and a lighter as there were time there was only one spoon or fork or there was no lighter to start the stove. Other than that it was a pleasant and enjoyable stay

素晴らしい（日本人）

セントキルダビーチから徒歩10分、トラム駅から徒歩1分という好立地です。また、都心までトラムで20分とすぐです。一泊¥1200ほどからなのでお得です。ただ、1人部屋の中には取っ手が壊れていてドアは閉じるものの鍵をかけても開けられる部屋があります。一応、公衆荷物置き場は受付前の部屋にあり、受付には常に人がいるので安心だと思います。朝食はあるにはありますが大したことないので、せっかくなら近辺のカフェなどに行くのもいいでしょう。朝7時から開いています。
