Nomads St Kilda

Great hostel. The team are super helpful and go above and beyond. Location-wise it’s well-connected whilst still being in a peaceful corner of the city. The private room was great. There are events in the evenings (e.g bingo) and the common area is very social, with pool tables, arcade games, a bar and PCs for guests to use.

I had such a fun stay at Nomads St Kilda. The vibes are super social, perfect for meeting other travellers, especially if you’re new to Melbourne. The staff are really friendly and always go out of their way to help with anything, from local tips to job advice.

Such a good location, minutes from the beach and all the shops. Super social with loads of bar events on every night. Natalie on the travel desk was great for helping me make a travel plan and knew loads of Melbourne. Can’t wait to come back!

Great hostel! Good vibes and many events at the bar. The private rooms are super nice and comfortable and very clean! The kitchen is amazing too, many stoves, fridges and sinks! The internet is super reliable too.

Best hostel I’ve stayed at! Super clean rooms, friendly staff, and an amazing location close to everything. The vibe is great, perfect for meeting people and enjoying St Kilda. Definitely recommend!

Hands down the most social hostel I’ve ever stayed in. There’s a free event every single night, making it incredibly easy to meet people and get involved. The staff are unbelievably friendly and genuinely go out of their way to make sure you’re having a great time. They even helped me when I was job hunting—offering advice, sharing tips on where to apply, and pointing me toward places that were hiring. Reception is open 24/7, and the team is always checking in to see if there's anything you need. The overall vibe of the hostel is unbeatable—welcoming, lively, and full of amazing people. It’s the kind of place where making lifelong friends happens naturally. I honestly couldn’t recommend it more. 100% would stay again!

Laundry room is great. I love paying $6 a pop for 24 minute washes which don’t clean your clothes followed by a tumble dryer that doesn’t dry them.

Fantastic social atmosphere during evening activities and it was easy to make friends with others in the dorm rooms. Make sure you go to the bingo! A little more effort is needed in the general social areas during the day though. The free pancakes in the morning were a really nice feature and ran for a good period of time to allow for hangovers! The rooms could get messy if people had their bags obstructing the floor but can’t fault the hostel for it other than some of the rooms were on the smaller side. Fantastic location within St Kilda, we happened to be there during Pride as well so the atmosphere was really great. The computers in the hostel were really useful. The main criticism lies with the kitchen which was super small with a lack of fridge space and the lack of air con meant it was unbearably hot and difficult to cook at all. Had a great trip overall though, thanks.
