The hype
Great staff and social atmosphere, but the facilities are tired and in desperate need of renovation.

为什么人们喜欢它
- The Back Room rooftop bar is a legitimate local hotspot
- Coworking space is surprisingly solid for getting work done
- Location is unbeatable—steps from the tram and St Kilda beach
快速了解： A rebranded hostel that dresses like a boutique hotel but still has the creaky bones and questionable showers of its backpacker past.
@jamie_stapleton97 的评论: I was genuinely shocked by this place. My private room at Roamer St Kilda had a massive double bed, a couch, and a desk for getting work done. The sunset view was a bonus, but having my own en suite bathroom really sealed the deal. It felt like a hotel.
住过这里的客人说
Reality check
The 'boutique' photos don't match the reality of peeling paint, loud AC units, and grim shared showers.
- You want to meet people and party without leaving the building
- You need a dedicated desk and fast WiFi to work remotely
- You're okay with 'rustic' (read: old) building quirks
清洁与维护
5.5
- Housekeeping: Daily service exists, but reviews consistently mention missed spots, dust under beds, and rushed jobs.
- Bathroom hygiene: CRITICAL FAIL. Frequent reports of mold, hair in drains, and grime in shared showers. Private ensuites fare better but are still 'tired'.
- Maintenance: The building is showing its age. Peeling paint, broken toilet locks, and finicky plumbing are common complaints.
- Linens & towels: Generally clean, though some guests report stained sheets or worn-out blankets.
- Odors & scents: Common areas can smell like stale beer or damp carpet; rooms are usually neutral unless the AC is musty.

常见问题和隐藏提示
预订前您真正想了解的一切。
Is there parking?
No onsite parking. You'll need to find street parking or a paid garage nearby, which can be a hassle in St Kilda.
Is it a hostel or a hotel?
It's a hybrid. It has dorms and a communal kitchen, but also private ensuite rooms. Think 'glam-hostel' rather than hotel.
Is the area safe?
St Kilda is generally safe but Grey Street has a reputation for being gritty with visible drug use. Keep your wits about you at night.
Does it have AC?
Yes, but many rooms use loud portable units rather than central air, which can be annoying for sleepers.
How is the WiFi?
Actually good. The coworking focus means the internet is reliable (25+ Mbps) in common areas and most rooms.
Is there a lift?
No. The building is historic and has no elevator. You will be carrying your bags up stairs.
内部人士建议
- ✨
The 'Banff Cafe' down the street offers a better and cheaper breakfast than the hotel's add-on.

Join the hostel WhatsApp group upon arrival to find out about impromptu events and outings.
- ✨
The communal kitchen has commercial fridges, so you can actually cook real meals to save money.
出发前需要了解的5件事
💡The 'wellness deck' is often just a quiet corner of the roof, not a full spa experience.
💡Hot water can be temperamental during peak morning shower times.
💡The 'cinema room' is a cozy chill-out spot that often goes unused—great for a private movie night.
💡You might see police visiting the street; it's a known hotspot, but they are usually just patrolling.
💡The towel rental fee for dorms is $6 AUD—bring your own microfiber towel.
