“I liked that is in St Kilda's heart. Very touristic places around. Most of the people was friendly. There's a bar downstairs, and a rooftop with nice view in the hostal. The kitchen is small, but was never that packed. ”

“There were outlets at every bed Bed was pretty comfy Bathroom was nice and modern Staff were nice Bar downstairs wasn't too loud so if you wanted to go to bed early, you could. Large lockers in the rooms”

“Loved my stay here. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Location is perfect, close to everything! Definitely recommend and I will be back.”

“The location was convenient and it is worth pointing out that the SkyBus service from the Melbourne airport (look for the St Kilda Express service) makes its first stop right at a bus stop (along Barkly Street) near a junction diagonally opposite the hostel, so that is the most direct and convenient way of arrival from the airport (way less hassle especially if one is unfamiliar with Melbourne to begin with)” Read more

“I really enjoyed my stay at Summer House Hostel in Melbourne. The bed was super comfy and the private bathroom was nice and big to use. I loved the big lockers available for us to use. Of course cleanliness of the room is dependent on your roommates, but the carpet looked cleaned and vacuumed. Nice breakfast was served every morning and free pancakes on Sunday! It was a nice, quiet, and good place to relax after traveling through Australia and jumping to different hostels every few weeks. There’s also a nice bar located next to the hostel for some nice drinks in the evening. It’s also nice to have working washing machines and dryers that ACTUALLY clean and dry your clothes. The hostel is a few blocks walk, but close enough to get on the tram back to the city. ” Read more

“I think the staff members, both permanent and temporary are the shining stars here. They make sure the hostel runs smoothly, put on events, and bring a lot of smiles to this place. The hostel is huge, so everyone can find both private time and space to meet up with friends. Ignoring that fact that the Summer House is conjoined with Hotel Barkly and the Rooftop Club for a moment, the hostel itself offers a free drink card, has free breakfast, pancakes on Sunday, nightly events, job boards, comfortable rooms with attached bathrooms and more. You're also close to St. Kilda's beaches, shopping streets, Luna Park, and Albert Park.” Read more

“Perfect location. St Kilda is a lovely suburb and the Skybuss coach stops literally across the street from the ho(s)tel. You also get a free drink and a choice of several in-house venues”

“nice hostel for backpackers. Beach, restaurants and walking distance to Trams for city”

“The bar has good deals on food and drink for anyone staying at the hostel, and the food is delicious. The free BBQ on Monday nights is a great way to start the week! The TV room is great for having a chill evening with your friends in the hostel and to get out of your room without spending money. The staff are really nice and helpful and the hostel is in a good location for the trams, Aldi, beach and bars.” Read more

“People at reception were really nice! Fun atmosphere all round. They show the UFC fights on the rooftop and in the downstairs bar. Pretty epic.”
