I recently left Base Backpackers St.Kilda after a two month stay. It was seriously some of the best times I have had in my life. The staff are very friendly and extremely helpful. The rooms are modern, spacious and clean. Each room has it's own en suite, so there are no dirty communal bathrooms. Housekeeping come around once a day... More

I'm a female backpacker, i stayed in Sanctuary which is the all girls dorm. You get free champagne for an hour at night and little extras. My stay at Base was very enjoyable, great people, clean, great night life, very good location, number 96 tram takes you straight into Melbourne from the 24hour mcdonalds! Overall great stay!

This backpackers has a bar/club downstairs, which is great in this party area of Melbourne. Very easy to meet people, great drinks deals. Very centrally located, near the town and beach Dorm was ok, but would have been good if the aircon worked, also 1 bathroom between 10 was quite hard, but great if you are travelling
