Hostel Barkly Backpackers

102 Barkly Street St Kilda, 3182 Melbourne, Australia –

Traveler photo of Melbourne

July 14, 2016

Is like a massive shared house. The people are like a real flat mates talking to you and the staff is really useful, the owner (matt) looked my CV and fix my mistakes ( I am Spanish). The living room and the kitchen are so lovely and the poor guy in reception is cleaning all the missed things after you (thanks David). And the room cleaners are the people in the hostel working for acomodation so its really helpful if you are broke!

socket right next to bed, nice staff, bathroom for your own (on the hallway but you can fully lock it so you have it for your own), no loud traffic

The WiFi is not really working in the rooms but is totally free and is working properly in the living room. One guy in my room was messy and he was snoring like a bear! But that's not a problem from the hostel haha.

I discovered the morning I was checking out that my hearphones were gone. (my bad I trusted the people in the room) The same night someone came back around 12:00am and knocked the door screaming pretty loud waking up half the room). In the morning I also realised while stripping the bed that instead of a mattress they put a base (solid wood). I won't sleep there ever again, rather be sleeping at the park.
