    Amazing & so clean, I got there after a long day of travel and got randomly upgraded to a private room, with my own en suite it’s was exactly what I needed! The private room was absolutely huge, it was like a suite or a hotel, wasn’t like staying...

    Welcoming environment feels like home, very nice property, the manger/ owner was very friendly and helpful. Having a bed for the cost I paid, was great. I like welcome basket and curtains providing privacy. The kitchen was nice too.

    The staff was so kind, I booked a female dormitory by mistake but one of the staff helped me stay in a mixed dorm. There's an event each day when I was there a jug of beer or cider was only $4. And there's a very good kebab place near the hostel

    Triple room was VERY SPACIOUS, perfect for our luggage. Dedicated bathroom was also very new and spacious. Availability of a kitchen was helpful. Love how transportation options were aplenty. The free breakfast pancakes on Sundays were fantastic!

    I lived for two months at the Summer House Melbourne and it was a beautiful time. The staff, the location of the hostel in the heart of St Kilda and the community feeling at this hostel are very good. If I egret had to go back to Melbs I know...
