St. Kilda Beach House Hostel for sure is a place for party animals to go. It's located in a very quiet town as there's not many shops. But this also makes them like a hot spot in St. Kilda, as they have a popular bar there. The staff are very friendly and make you feel comfortable to be staying there.
The Location
The hostel is located at the corner of Barkly Street. It's not exactly as it's name says which is in front of the beach but takes around five to ten minutes to walk to the St Kilda Beach and Pier. You can find many bars, cafes, and shops along Acland Street, Fitzroy Street, and Chapel Street. The Luna Park is just right there in front of the beach. Tram 16 or 96 can take you to the city. It takes around ten minutes for you to go to Carlisle Street where you can find supermarkets, shops, and cafes.
Rooms and Bathrooms
They have double rooms, four- to six-bed dorms, and eight-bed mixed or female dorms and every dorm has a clean shower. Lockers are provided in the dorms. It's not too bright in the dorm, with only one light. All rooms are accessed through secure smart card system when you get in.
Common Spaces
This is a brand new hostel after its redevelopment with a grand bar on the top floor so that you can get to know some more people. You can go outside of the terrace, which is a smoking section, to view St. Kilda. There's a bar also on the ground floor with a pool table. They have a continental breakfast including happy hour every night. And there's a karaoke night on every Sunday. The kitchen is generally quite clean with a TV inside. They don't have wireless here, but an internet room with seven computers, but most of the time only two or three are working. Besides is a corner with sofas and TV so you can enjoy your movie time.
Summary
You will find yourself enjoying it here if you like drinking and partying. The atmosphere is goo, especially on the karaoke night. You can get to know some people here hanging around.
