Roamer St Kilda - formerly Selina St Kilda

This space is so good for the price. It is clean and the room I got was very large (queen room with double bed). It has a surf, bohemian vibe so you feel like you’re overseas at some friend’s beach shack. Compared to other hostels it is very clean, it smells so good in the building! It is definitely not new, so it has the rustic charm of older Melbournian buildings. Be mindful this is not a hygiene issue but the general style of the building. This St Kilda Roamer has a rotating staff that really cares about residents and put in time to understand their journey. The team is really relaxed, and will try to help out. I always see staff cleaning and keeping up with housekeeping. However if you’re looking for something like a hotel experience it’s unfair to compare this space as it is designed more for diverse casual travellers. In your private rooms, you get kettle, tea, coffee, hotel sheets, towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash.  It feels like a co-share cafe space at the front so it’s got a nice nomad vibe. It is better than the city location which gets more traffic and feels very crowded. If you’re looking for a place to explore Melbourne St Kilda is a great hot spot for travellers as internationals hangout here! More hostels and co-work spaces should try to build on this Roamer St Kilda location as it is not too crowded and feels like you’re going to a friends open beach shack home.   I would love to stay longer as there are heaps to explore in the area and it feels very comfortable to stay here.

The location of this hotel is excellent, which allows you to go everywhere easily, for example St Kilda beach or Melbourne CBD. Our room is okay. Even though it’s small but the bed is really comfy. The only thing to complain is about the shared toilets and showers, 2/3 of them are being fixed so it’s a bit inconvenient.

It’s really good! This is my first time live in hostel. It’s a good experience. It’s very clean and tidy，and have many activities in evening. It’s nice.

Located in a really good place, just a quick walk to the tram station, Woolsworth, dentist(if you need one). A short tram ride will get you to the beach for a relaxing stroll. Heading to the CBD is also pretty easy with a 30-ish minute tram ride. The staff is helpful and friendly. You can cook in the kitchen if you want to, couple of stoves,a microwave and an electric kettle. If you want to enjoy a cuppa but don’t want to go out, there’s also a cafe. Order up! 👍

Really good location with a tram stop nearby. The beds were comfy and had a curtain for extra privacy!

Best hostel so far, very clean and tidy. bed really comfy . and i remember naomi is really kind when and helpful
