St Kilda East Backpackers. We walked in, not one to book us in, not that that mattered, we couldn't stay there. smelt like dead rats, worse than if you pictured a hovel. We rang the owner, and Wotif rang the owner. Both responses were if people want a clean place to stay, they should go somewhere else. I would be very surprised if Wotif allow this hostel to book through them ever again.

Quite possibly one of the worst hostels I’ve stayed at in Australia. There’s no signage on the outside of it, so it is quite hard to locate. I wasn’t sent any check in instructions and check in wasn’t until 5pm, so that’s quite inconvenient.
The bed that I was put in was right beside the window with a screen that was broken, since the room is on the ground floor, someone could easily access the room. The lockers are also broken so you can’t securely store your stuff. At 2:30am I was woken up by a person moving stuff around right outside the broken window and it was a very scary experience.
The cleanliness of the hostel was abysmal. The whole place smelt like cigarette smoke. The bathroom smelled of urine and there was no toilet paper the entirety of my stay. For the price of the room ($100) I was extremely disappointed. Just get a hotel room for that price.

Best place to score in all of St. Kilda! Cheap & easy-going place and so were the women that stayed there! One extra advantage is the place's location; There are quite a few bulk-billing doctors in the area, when you need to go and get script for some antibiotics afterwards...

The hostel is well located and provides free parking. It is a normal house and not a hotel at all. A few people stay there and the place is quiet and looked after. The owner is approachable and tries to help if asked. It's more of a home away from home but nothing flash. Comfortable and peaceful.

I paid way to much for so little, no toilet paper or anything, grass over grown and everything just so discusting.
Id ask for a refund but i dont know how to submit for on.
Booked for 2 nights stayed for one and left on the second.

I promise you you'd rather sleep on the street. Place is very very dirty. Owner is... yeah... very hostile, very angry, very unpleasant and generally just not informative or helpful at all. Can not recommend.
