Cosy hostel by the beach
The Roamer is perfect for travelers looking for community in a foreign place. With plenty to do and a great location, it's hard to find a reason not to stay here. Can't wait to come back!

It's a small apartment, no lift, own luggage. Every time through the public toilet there is a smell out, no one cleans the room every day, may be waiting for the check-out to come. When I checked in, the room was clean and tidy, the staff was kind and safe. The transportation is very convenient, and it is easy to get to the beach and downtown.

Friendly vibes with staff, appreciate the complimentary drink and built-in stuff. Kinda bummer to have only stairs up to 2 floors, but really nice vintage place to live in

Little gem of a property within walking distance of all the bars and restaurants in downtown St Kilda as well as 2 min to the tram stop. So quiet inside and a great breakfast and coffee available in the cafe. Very reasonably priced for this location

Hostel seemed pretty run down with windows cracked/broken, water damage in the walls and ceilings of the bathrooms, holes in the walls and cramped quarters. It was pretty walkable to dining and transient options in St. Kilda but that was the only saving grace.

Great to stay at! Would recommend downloading the Selina App before hand and having the booking code ready to go (found in your email or account of whatever site you booked with). I didn’t realise I would have to have these things ready so we had to sit and figure it out for about 10 minutes just to get in. Overall great experience, instructions could have been clearer :)

Bathrooms/showers are awkward and in need of renovation. Dorm rooms are nice, but there seemed to be far more inconsiderate guests here than other hostels I’ve stayed at. A dorm mate brought someone home from the bar…….. plenty of nights people came back after midnight slamming things around. The electrical plug by my bed chirped constantly as well. I wouldn’t stay here again.

Booked a room with two double beds, had two singles. The fridge had take away container with mouldy food in it which clearly been there for some time. put that in the hall, informed the desk at 9pm was still there at 11am the next day. Hotel prices for a backpackers.

Selina - Saint Kilda Melbourne
The place was nice and a good location.
Staff were friendly.
Room was a micro room with double bed and was great and so was the bed.
The only issue I had was the shared bathroom facilities were not great. On my floor there were 2 bathrooms, one was a toilet with hand sink. In the other was a toilet and a shower, but in order to enter the bathroom (because the door opened inwards) you actually had to step into the shower before you could close the bathroom door behind you because the space was extremely small!
On the floor below mine I found better facilities in terms of size of bathrooms but discovered very low water pressure in one shower, the other I used was good water pressure, however in both cases adjusting the water temperature was somewhat of a fine art. Having said all that the cost of staying there was very competative and overall I would stay there again.

Pleasant Stay
It was a pleasant stay. Conveniently located around a bunch of nice places to eat and see. Just prepare yourself for the following.. there is no escalator so be prepared to carry your luggage up 4 sets of stairs.. I got my workout in.. Standard private rooms does not have a television.. There no wash cloths so make sure to have your own or you can just purchase one like I did. I survived with my laptop watching Netflix which was the only streaming service I could get. If it is not an internationally service you will not be able to stream it. You are truly servicing yourself. You can ask the front for assistance, but its only but so much they can do. If you are looking for room service or anything like this.. this is not the place for you. The rooms are just like the pictures. Very nice atmosphere and friendly people. Do not arrive in the middle of the night.. no overnight service so make sure your international calling service work and you let the hotel know you are arriving late. Overall its a comfortable stay. I just got a little caught off guard by the things I mentioned, but I was able to tough it out! I am an American citizen and this was my first international stay.. thought I should mentioned this as well.. and make sure to have a International plug for your electronics or you will have to get one😉
