Bayside House

Wouldn't recommend for female travellers.
Don't get a mixed dorm here if female.
Staff where friendly and location was nice. Room was really smelly and not cleaned properly. Dirty bed sheets with crusty stuff on it.

Well located but the receptionist (when he was there) didn't care, gave us the key to the wrong room

Absolutely amazing place! The person in the desk, I think is name was ollie is very helpful and smiley!

I would 100% come back!

The good things about this hostel nice common area with Xbox and pool table!
The beds could be comfier and the showers could do with a mop for guest to use after their shower.
Ellie the receptionist really does a good job!

Awesome place staff amazing friendly kind very respectful, one of the cleanest hostels in melbourne ally dan an liam have made this place enjoyable an relaxing. Thanks heaps i really appreciate it.

Perfect hostel if you are looking for a place to travel and meet new backpackers in Melbourne.

Clean rooms, heaps of entertainment (TVs, pool tables, Netflix) and great vibes. The weekends are a highlight and the managers (Liam and Ellie) are always running game nights (pool tournaments) making it heaps of fun.

Allowed to bring and drink your own alcohol in house too!

Highly highly recommend.

Do nobody answer phones here? Very poor customer service when potential customers have questions there’s nowhere to get informed.

Had the best time in Bayside. Stayed there for almost 3 months and met so many great people. Tim and Ash were always so helpful whenever we needed anything. Have to also mention how amazing Ellie was behind the front desk, so friendly and helpful. Couldn't recommend this place enough.

Stayed at this hostel for 3 months and ended up making friends for life who I am now travelling with including many others who still stay there.
It's a very chill hostel and easy going.
Plenty of showers and toilets, I have never been sat waiting on someone to finish up.

The staff are lovely, very friendly, and able to have a laugh.
One of the staff members Ellie was a great help during my stay, was able to help with anything

Absolutely loved bayside stayed there quite a lot when I was in Melbourne for 5 months most social hostel I’ve been too met so many amazing people there, the staff, Tim and ash are awesome thanks for all the memories!

My boyfriend and I chose to stay here so we were close to the beach and Melbourne CBD and it was the best decision. Hostel is in an amazing location just opposite st kilda junction tram stop so you can hop straight onto the tram into CBD, or you can walk to the beach and into st kilda town. Staff are very friendly and helpful, giving us recommendations on things to do whilst we’re here and can have a good laugh with them. They’re cleaning the place everyday, common area was our favourite part as there’s a pool table, couple tv’s, loads of places to sit and chill out. Plenty of showers and toilets we never had to wait for it, kitchen has plenty of space too. Has washing facilities and free breakfast which is always a nice touch. We made some great friends here and we’re sad to leave, would 100% stay here again, we really enjoyed it.

The Hostel its okey, but the problem its that everything is so dirty. No toilet paper, always dirty bathrooms and in my case i reserved a room for 9 other beds and they put me in one with 12 saying that the others are just for emergency, that the beds are not occupied (that was not true)

Cannot recommend bayside enough! The facilities were un-matched by any other hostel I’ve stayed in. The managers Tim and Ash were so welcoming and went above and beyond to make mine and my friends stay amazing. The common area (with a pool table) and gorgeous functional kitchen is the best place to meet fellow travellers. I made friends and experiences for life at the bayside. Thank you

We arrived early hours of the morning and was still able to check in and get a bed which was perfect after a long journey, the couple that run the hostel are lovely and very happy to help with any questions, the hostel is very clean and very sociable we’ve had a lovely time, there is free cereal and coffee which is handy when on a budget! They are always hoovering and cleaning the hostel. The location is perfect only a 15 minute walk down to st kilda beach as well as only a short tram ride into the centre of Melbourne! They have created such a lovely atmosphere here, would definitely recommend staying here!

Heritage listed building and unique in its setup. Big kitchen, small laundry, lots of communal spaces (pool tables, TVs couches big table area and reception at ground level.upstairs private rooms bathrooms and a few communal areas.
Tim, manager, and his staff do a great job - committed to making sure things are clean and comfortable and happy to go the extra distance to make things easier for the guests. Am very happy here

Amazing experience, super clean, friendly and helpful staff with clean amenities and close to everything we needed!

highly recommend bayside house

Nous sommes restés 3 nuits dans l’hostel c’était génial: tout est clean et près de toutes les commodites! On s’y sent comme à la maison! Je recommande les yeux fermés!

My boyfriend and I stayed at this hostel for a few weeks before finding our own place. Tim was extremely welcoming and very helpful. We loved our stay here, definitely a top hostel! The beds were comfy, everything was well equipped and clean. Would 100% recommend to stay!

Irritated and intimidated to walk in and find the venue decorated with inappropriate, misogynist art. Nothing except images of women, some in bikinis, some not so lucky. It's offensive as a women to PAY to feel objectified the second I came in. The lobby was playing a violent show depicting violence against women. All in all, I wouldn't feel safe here again by any means.

Absolutely lovely customer service from Tim on reception! I was very disorganised for my trip and he was super helpful and generous with his time in helping us out. 10/10 would recommend:)
