Dear Sam. Not sure what you expected. We are a backpackers hostel, we are not a hotel, motel or a luxuary anything. Please sleep in a park, if that makes you happy!

We are sorry you were disappointed. The grass is cut now, trust us, other places cost much more and offer the same facilities.

When we first approach the backpackers, it looks so rundown. When we walked inside, it was disgusting crammed people sleeping on sofas in the hallways. When we arrive the host tried to get extra money for us because it was the F1 weekend. We paid for three nights Shuriken, it wasn’t enough I said no, she threatened to throw us out after the second night. I refused and showed her the paperwork what said we paid for three nights. After Air second night, they took a bookshelf out of the bedroom and put another stretcher for someone to sleep and made at seven in the bedroom. Your broken toilet you had to walk sideways into the toilet close the door. When you sat down your knees were touchin , and made at seven in the bedroom. Your broken toilet. You had to walk sideways into the toilet close the door. When you sat down you knees were touching the door. No hot water in the shower and also we had to bring our own toilet paper. I wouldn’t recommend this place to My in worst enemies.

Dear Arion. We are sorry that your expectations were not fulfilled during your stay with us. We cannot change the fact that it is no more than a shared backpackers accommodation, and cannot be in a perfect state of a display property. It is in use by many people, who all have a shared responsibility to clean after themselves. We try our best to do our part, and provide a great home for those who need it. Thank you.

Dear Anna. You kept me up all night with your boyfriend calling from 2am to 6am. Then, having lost a full night's sleep, drove for you to the hostel from my home at 6am. I advised, that all guests supply their own toilet paper. I also provided you guys with a double bed. It didn't suit your purpose, that's ok, but as a human being, I'm entitled to be remunerated a little bit, when kept up all of Saturday night, trying to provide you with accommodation services. I do apologise for not meeting your needs.

We arrived to not have the room allocated, owner was out and the cleaner was trying to get us organised but had no clue where to put us. I'd paid for a twin bed and a single, to find out after the fact that they only had single bunks, we were told we'd be in a room on our own, at 5am in the morning I had a man in his jocks staring at me and then he started screaming abuse at my son telling him to get out of his #@$&ing bed. He was obviously drunk and we were then afraid to go back to sleep. The owner had put him in our room without informing us. The facilities were deplorable, sticky bathroom floor, ripped up linoleum, toilets were filthy with urine sprayed everywhere, on the floor cistern and seat, no paper, poo stains on the toilet, grimy walls. Thick layers of dust everywhere.cardboard where mirrors used to be but were ripped off the walls. The shared kitchen was falling apart from the sink being ducked taped to taps hanging on by a thread. Outside of the property was unkempt with a ripped mattress and couch being out the front. I didn't shower the as there was dirty undies in the shower, wet towels pooling at the base of the shower and the shower was grimy and black. IT is by far the worst hostel/backpackers we have ever stayed at.

These guests booked an 8 bed room but were upgraded to a 5 bed free of charge. We don't have, nor advertise twin beds! They arrived on hard rubbish day and it is our obligation to leave unwanted furniture on the nature strip for collection. Their allegations of someone disturbing their 19 year old son were not substantiated, not sure where it came from. We endevour to provide a friendly, homely environment and not a hotel.

My review is 5* based on its great value for money. There's good WiFi you get a sturdy bunk bed kitchen shower and communal area and ample fridge freezers. More importantly it's the people who make a hostel.

Stole my money
I didn't stay: they took my booking, then said they couldn't arrange for entry after 7pm. On their advertisement they say you can enter after 7pm, and give a mobile phone number. The person on the phone said no. She also said she would cancel the booking so they didn't take my money. She didn't do that.

WORST HOTEL IN AUSTRALIA
This is the worst hostel experience I have ever had in my life! The owner is such an awful person! She should be prohibited posting ads on all the hotel booking webs! It’s dirty, noisy & unsafe Don’t even have a lobby & counter The front door lock is just a password plate The people stay at there often open the door in night time Locker keys, she dare demand $30 deposit for that!? Never checked passport Only asked for show the detail of payment The owner dared ask for additional $15 just because she didn’t accept Hotels.com have a big sale for her lodge And when I tried to call Hotels.com customer service, she said can I get out of her property!? Gladly, Hotels.com refunded me $15 that I didn’t need to pay more for the 3 nights. There were two awful incidents happened. The 2nd night, when I got back to the hostel, the owner changed my bed without notifying me. I needed to move my stuff to another empty bed. The 3rd night, my stuff in unlocked locker had been moved to another one without my permission. I called her, she said she had touched them, cuz there was a girl needed to use the locker, I couldn’t find some pieces of my stuff at the moment I was very angry that she did it. And she said swearing words to me on phone. You can see my pictures of the hostel Tiny shower rooms & toilets Baggage are put messily on the floor Each room has 7-8 bunk beds And the bunk bed isn’t safe I slept on an upper bed And there was a hole I could fall into it

uma vez pra nunca mais. Longe e atendimento ruim
Alegaram que o valor do hotéis.com estava errado. E aquele desconto do PREÇO SECRETO, tive que pagar em dinheiro o que era um desconto do site por direito. O local fica longe do centro de St Kilda. 14AUD de taxi, 8-10AUD de Uber. Ônibus a cada 40 min. Não há restaurante, mercado, nada no entorno. Após 16h de viagem, sugeriram que eu tomasse banho no dia seguinte para não molhar o piso do banheiro naquela noite. Após rejeitar a proposta, à contragosto me ofereceram um chuveiro alternativo e ainda estipularam quantos minutos deveriam ser meu banho. Cozinha sem geladeira. A geladeira ficava no meu quarto e outros hóspedes entravam pra pegar suas comidas.

Dear guest. Please use Google maps on your phone - we have free WiFi. 3 major shopping centres next door, all of the public transport likewise. For your ref - if we need to clean the bathrooms, we will do so. Plenty of alternatives as we have 5 of each facility. Many thanks for your custom!
