Staff who throw food in the bin and steal clothes, first time I see that on Australia. Kitchen close very early for people who work the night.

My stay at Summerhouse Hostel in Melbourne was an absolute disaster. This place is infested with bedbugs, and the staff couldn’t care less about their guests’ well-being. After waking up covered in itchy, painful bites, I immediately reported the issue to staff. Instead of moving me to a different room, they simply washed my sheets and clothes—but left me in the same bed. Unsurprisingly, I woke up the next morning with even more bites, making my stay unbearable. When I asked to file an injury report, I was brushed off and told to come back when a manager was available. Meanwhile, I had to spend $27 on pharmacy treatments and was advised that a doctor’s visit would cost me another $100—an expense I couldn’t afford. Even after staff confirmed that my bites were from bedbugs, they still refused to move me, offering nothing but fresh sheets and towels instead. I sent a formal complaint outlining the physical, emotional, and financial toll this took on me, but they ignored me completely. No refund, no compensation, not even a response. This level of negligence is unacceptable and a clear violation of Australian Consumer Law. Summerhouse Hostel is an absolute disgrace. If you value your health, sanity, and money, STAY SOMEWHERE ELSE. I’ll be escalating my complaint to Consumer Affairs Victoria and health authorities so no one else has to go through this.

Une auberge de jeunesse avec une hygiène plus que douteuse, des snus étaient par terre à côté de mon lit lors de notre arrivée. Puis comme si ça ne suffisait pas des punaises de lit étaient présentes aussi. On en a informé le personnel qui nous a fait comprendre que ce n’était pas leur problème et qu’ils allaient juste nettoyer la chambre le lendemain. Nous avons donc passé la nuit sans dormir avec aucune solution à nous apporter et bien sûr aucun remboursement n’est possible. Nous avons appris qu’il y avait au minimum 3 autres chambres contaminées. Auberge de jeunesse à fuire

I had a great stay here and felt very comfortable. Stayed for a week and my 6 bed room was a decent size. The room and ensuite were cleaned every day which was great as it didn’t get very dirty at all. Met lots of lovely people and the staff were good too. The kitchen is small and there isn’t much room for food storage, but other than that it was great. The rooftop is a good place to chill too.

Me and my friend stayed here and we had a great time. Originally booked a 8 bed and got upgraded for free to a 4 bed. The staff are all super friendly and willing to help, especially Max ! They even had a travel agent who was amazing at helping us plan the rest of our trip! Would recommend! Alanah and Elly x

Very mixed feelings about this hostel. Some staff are great, some not so great - very passive aggressive and unhelpful. Had signs put on our well kept belongings (in packing cubes) telling us to tidy up or our belongings would be given to charity/thrown away. Room was big and spacious, bed ok, duvet and pillow under bedding was disgusting bright yellow. Black mould in our room hidden behind beds and made me unwell. Kitchen poorly laid out, dry store for food was hot making food go mouldy. Bar had a nice atmosphere and met some amazing people. Overall the hostel is not as great as it is rated on hostel world and certainly not worth the price they’re asking for, ok for a night or two, not good for long stays.

Liked · The staff member at reception, Liam, was very welcoming, friendly and helpful. I was so pleasantly surprised at how nice the private room was, as I was expecting a VERY basic room (considering the very low price). There was a small fridge in the room, towels rolled up on each bed and a modern bathroom. The room was spacious and clean. The curtains were dark enough to keep the light out in the morning. Disliked · The back 'alley way' to the lift didn't create a good first impression of the property but once I entered my room on the third floor, I was able to forget the dingey entrance way to it. It would have been great to have just a few coat hangers on the rail above the bed as there was nowhere else to hang any jackets/clothes. If all you need is a place to put down your head and refresh, this property is ideal. There's no TV, tea & coffee making facilities or ironing equipment in the room but they're all available elsewhere on the property if required. The communal kitchen on the first floor is well equipped - just bring your own milk for tea/coffee. I would happily stay here again.
