Summer House Melbourne

Summer house Melbourne Is the best hostel in Melbourne !

The Reception team are best, very welcoming and always up for a chat and a laugh ! Always helping and trying to find the best rooms for people , Facilities are great as well.

Also as a solo backpacker i found easy to meet people due to the events in both the bar and the hostel. The bar has a very good vibe and very fun on Saturdays and Fridays with the live music and discounts they run for hostel guest !!

Top place would recommend !!

Best hostel in Melbourne, the area is just in front of the beach and there is really good public transport around. Moreover, the hostel has great rooms, with a private room each one and shared areas are great. By the way, I loved the rooftop you enjoy great sunsets there. I am going to come back 100%

Amazing hostel! Rooms are great, spacious and have fantastic air con. They have a lovely rooftop which overlooks St Kilda. Plus a really nice bar attached that is nicely priced for backpackers.

Best Hostel in Melbourne. Clean Rooms. Rooms were comfy. 10min to the best beach. Good prices in comparison.
Very very nice staff. Authentic people. Kitchen was great to socialise.

The location of the Hostel is amazing with coffee shops on your doorstep as well as supermarkets and the beach!

The hostel in itself has on suite bathrooms, so Jo awkward corridor shower issues. And no forgetting your room key every time you pee.

The staff at reception are super friendly, And Marie also gave us a guide to Melbourne booklet for free!!

Really nice vibe in the hostel, with a great bar attached to it. Staff are all friendly and the rooms are good enough. Would highly recommend.

I am very fussy with big cities and accommodations. As not all hostels or accommodation feels like home in foreign big Cities. Fortunately for me , i have stumbled over a gem of St Kikda; Summer house St kilda. I love a lot of things about it, the people to start with. People are friendly and out-going for the most part ( cultural and personality differences can only be the reason of why you are not friend with someone) but for the most part, i make friends everyday, the atmosphere just feels like a summer camp. The location is perfect, 5 min walk to the beach, 30 sec walk to the cheapest takeaway coffee in Melbourne (Coles express 1.50$) and its low key very good ngl. Nearest pubs is down 1 level , i don’t need to go out if i wanna go out HAHHA you know. Anyways, lots of perks like beds being genuinely comfy like better then at my mums. Housekeeping cleaning everyday the whole day : housekeepers rotating from 7 am to 7 pm there is a cleaner also after 10 pm and onwards.
Better then at mums for sure … she doesn’t clean my room like the housekeepers .
Bathrooms inside the room, ensuite style, again, better then at my mums. Lmao! I also after a moment got to be a housekeeper for acc. In exchange and every minute of working is worth my free sleep zzzzz. I sincerely enjoy my time here , i mean there is a lot of perks in this hostel there may be 2-3 flaws but honestly you just disregard them because you realize that its better then at your mums . Thank you summer house

If you're a backpacker looking for a nice hostel where it's really easy to get to know people, where the atmosphere is fun and cozy and where the staff genuinely try to solve problems and make your stay comfortable, choose Summer House Melbourne 💖

The location is great in St Kilda, the prices of the bar/restaurant downstairs are really cheap for hostel guests and it's easy to get to know others at the bar, for example during the weekly trivia or karaoke. And if you want to do more than party, this is the best hostel in Melbourne for that: they organize various sports activities, free pizza nights, movie nights, hanging out on the roof terrace or picnic ect. AND on Sundays some of the best hostel pancakes with good toppings!! 😍

The kitchen is medium-sized, but it's actually much better than a large kitchen, because it's natural to get to know others when eating and cooking together vs. everyone sitting separately at their own table. The reception is open 24/7, so arriving at any time is possible and help is always available. So I really recommend this place ♥

When I moved to other hostels, I really realized how special the atmosphere is in this hostel.
Each room has its own bathroom which was awesome!! There are sockets near the beds, the lockers could hold a lot of stuff and the rooms had a lot of space compared to many other hostels! The housekeepers also clean all the rooms and bathrooms every day, so the rooms were kept tidy, (of course it was the customers’ responsibility to keep their own things tidy!) and you could be sure that you would have clean sheets because the housekeepers did a really good job.

The building is not the newest, so you can't expect the same as newly built hostels, but everywhere is still clean and the places are taken care of! The vibe, other hostel customers, the size of the rooms, the bathrooms, activities, rooftop and friendly staff are the main reasons why I ended up staying in this hostel for several months, because the others I tested were just not as comfortable and homely 🥰

The best Hostel in St Kilda! Nicee vibes and close to the beach.. Good discounts in the bar downstairs if you stay at the Hostel ( Beer half price) good to know 😉

Had an amazing time here at summerhouse backpackers! We got to the Hostel close to 12am. I felt bad since the check in was technically closed. There was a staff on duty who came down diligently to let us in and get us checking in for the night and it was an easy process! my boyfriend and I got a private room that could fit 3. We have stayed in a couple private rooms but nothing compared to this one! The room was absolutely massive! Bigger than any hotel room I had ever stayed in. It had a private bathroom which was renovated and lovely and even had a large sliding door that could be opened! There were towels provided and we even had a mini fridge in our room! They had a great movie/lounge room, that we underutilized. Kitchen was tight. There were very large tables which left minimal room to move around the kitchen. More storage would be a plus too because it did seem cluttered. But it had all working burners, microwaves and kettles so I couldn’t complain too much! Location was great, quick walk to tram and bus stations and grocery stores and restaurants! They even have a bar right below the hostel. It’s a public bar but if you stay there you get discounted rates! We got a jug of beer for $10! Would highly recommend!!

Rooms were nice, and clean too. I stayed in an 8 bed dorm room, was great, each bed has its own twin power point, near the bed, beds were nice and comfortable. Staff are fantastic, easy to talk to, and very helpful. Only thing that I did not like is the location, ling way from the City, but, if not being in the City is your thing, then, you will love it. You even get a free drink card when you check in, to be used at the Hotel next door. Breakfast is not supplied, even though the ad says that it is

The room (6 beds female) was big and clean, with private toilet and warm shower. The icing on the cake was the staff: super friendly and helpful. A huge thanks to Max, always attentive to the needs of the guests.

Had a great stay here, 4 bed mixed dorm. The room was clean and a good size, massive bathroom with a shower which was ideal. Staff are all friendly and very helpful. Bar downstairs next to reception which is lively and ideal if you are a solo traveller and looking to meet new people as everybody Is very welcoming. I would recommend a stay here and if I return to Melbourne I will be staying here again. Great value for money. Only negative was no plug socket next to my bed so had to charge my phone on the other side of the room

I stayed in summerhouse Melbourne for about 2 months and absolutely loved it! The staff are super helpful and friendly. The rooms are big and are cleaned daily which is always appreciated. There is a bar downstairs that has a nice atmosphere and good drinks. Friendly hostel and super close to the beach. I would recommend as a solo traveller.

As good as it gets!
Amazing vibe and people. Marie and Max at reception are legends!
Can’t recommend it enough.

I have been at Summer House Backpackers for 3 months now and it has been none stop love and laughter! Summer House has provided me with a job and the reception staff have allowed me to move rooms so I can be with my friends and much more comfortable. Summer House is super clean, sociable and has lots of weekly activities to join in with. My time here has been so enjoyable and it has been my favourite hostel so far in Australia! Thank you so much to the team for making me feel so welcome 😊

Friendly staff and happy go lucky environment. There were house keeping issues however this was rectified quickly by front staff so no need for them to miss out on a star for this ;-). Excellent location and an upbeat vibe with other guests. I wasn't in a great place facing some personal challenges leading up to my trip to Australia however the team were unfazed and even offered a listening ear at times which I was grateful for. Thank you again guys. If you let me stay again I promise to be less hassle and more fun haha. J. ;-----)

If you’re looking for a decent hostel in Melbourne, look no further! Summerhouse is perfectly located in the heart of St Kilda, so ideal for beach loving people who don’t want to be surrounded by the hustle & bustle of the CBD, yet the atmosphere is very vibrant and public transport to the center are just on the doorstep. It has the perfect balance between social activities and chill vibes and therefore it’s not a 24hour party place, so you can easily reside here while having a job. However if you feel like going for a bevvy or two, the Barkly next door is a really nice European style pub with delicious meals & very cheap drinks when you’re a hostel guest :D I absolutely loved my stay here and would go back in a heartbeat <3

Great place to live at. Very cooperative, even let me in at 12:30 am as my flight was delayed. They have a Pub down stairs and an amazing Bar/Club up stairs.
The other backpackers were really good too.
Thank you, will choose the same place again if I come to Melbourne.

The rooms have ensuite bathrooms, daily cleaning by really friendly staff and we were warmly welcomed on reception even though we didn't arrive until 10pm. The bar next door was good fun too and you get discount on drinks for staying here. Good value for money and really close to the trams to get to the city. Would definitely recommend
