Selina Hotels in Melbourne

This space is so good for the price. It is clean and the room I got was very large (queen room with double bed). It has a surf, bohemian vibe so you feel like you’re overseas at some friend’s beach shack. Compared to other hostels it is very clean, it smells so good in the building! It is definitely not new, so it has the rustic charm of older Melbournian buildings. Be mindful this is not a hygiene issue but the general style of the building. This St Kilda Roamer has a rotating staff that really cares about residents and put in time to understand their journey. The team is really relaxed, and will try to help out. I always see staff cleaning and keeping up with housekeeping. However if you’re looking for something like a hotel experience it’s unfair to compare this space as it is designed more for diverse casual travellers. In your private rooms, you get kettle, tea, coffee, hotel sheets, towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash.  It feels like a co-share cafe space at the front so it’s got a nice nomad vibe. It is better than the city location which gets more traffic and feels very crowded. If you’re looking for a place to explore Melbourne St Kilda is a great hot spot for travellers as internationals hangout here! More hostels and co-work spaces should try to build on this Roamer St Kilda location as it is not too crowded and feels like you’re going to a friends open beach shack home.   I would love to stay longer as there are heaps to explore in the area and it feels very comfortable to stay here.

I had a positive experience at this hostel, primarily due to the friendly and attentive service. The staff were always willing to assist and respond to any needs that arose during my stay. Location: The hostel is conveniently located just a three-minute walk from Flinders Street Station. Additionally, there are trams nearby, making it easy to navigate the city. The transportation options are excellent. Facilities: The hostel offers shared spaces, including a quiet working room, a communal kitchen, and a small library of books for guests to enjoy. The atmosphere is lively, providing ample opportunities to meet new friends. Room Experience: However, sharing a room with ten people can feel quite cramped, and the experience heavily depends on the cleanliness and habits of your roommates. I often heard phone conversations at night, and personal belongings were sometimes scattered across the floor. While these factors are beyond the hostel's control, they can affect the overall experience. Restroom Condition: The bathrooms could be brighter and feel a bit dated. A renovation would be beneficial to improve their appearance. Overall, aside from the issues mentioned, I found my stay satisfactory. I would consider returning in the future if the opportunity arises.
