South Yarra Hostel

DO NOT WORK WITH THIS BUSINESS Our company provided over $50,000 worth of professional cleaning services to South Yarra Hostel in good faith. Despite months of communication and multiple opportunities to resolve the matter, payment has still not been received. The owner, Aaron, has falsely claimed to have legal representation—this is untrue. We are now taking formal legal action to recover the unpaid amount. Do not engage in any business dealings with this individual or the South Yarra Hostel. We strongly advise other service providers to avoid this client entirely to prevent similar financial loss and frustration.

Best value in town. Not perfect, so don't expect Hilton, but solid, with lots of room for improvement. Other guests friendly, if a little noisy at times. Reception and check-in anytime is smooth and awesome. Thanks heaps.

Great hostel. Wifi was strong. Everything was clean. Staff was very responsive. Price was fantastic. The hostel is about a 20–25 minute tram ride from the Centre of town or a 45 minute walk along the Yarra which was delightful. Trams from outside the door and a station within 5 minutes walking distance. Awesome vibes. Would absolutely stay here again on my next trip to Melbourne.

Initially booked and planned to stay here for five nights when I first landed in Melbourne to give myself time to find a flat. Ended up staying around 3-4 months because I loved it here so much. The location is perfect for all of the restaurants and bars along Chapel Street. The hostel is a perfect size to get to know everybody there. It felt like one huge family during my stay, and I've made friends for life from all over the world. Aaron and his team do a great job to make you as welcome as possible and I'd love to stay here again next time I hit Melbourne.

We stayed here for 3 nights, upon arrival there was a mix up of what room we were in which Aaron who works on reception was quick to resolve and everything was fine. The hostel is great value for money, the communal areas were cleaned daily as we saw the cleaners during our stay. My only criticism would be it could do with a refurb as some parts of thr hostel look dated. This wouldn't stop us from staying here again in further

Really nice hostel. Spent 6 days there and everyone was really friendly. + People drink together on the terrace or just have a good time. + Many people stayed there for many months so the atmosphere was rather like in a shared house than in a typical hostel + close to chapel street with a lot of bars, restaurants and good clubs + free (basic) breakfast + clean enough (not perfectly clean but I did not have a problem with that) - takes a few stops (15 to 20 minutes) by tram to get to the city center.

I stayed here for a week. The Hostel is under new management and they have made some awesome changes! There is always hot water to all the showers, the showers now have rainfall heads which is so relaxing. 2 male and 3 female showers upstairs and 2 more downstairs. Coin laundry was great as well||The place is kept clean and the 4 bed room i stayed in was the largest ive seen. Plenty of room to store luggage. ||The guests are generally long term and are great to chill with. 2 kitchens with 8 stoves and 4 ovens. Internet is free and I had a good connection at all times||Thanks to all the guests and staff at South Yarra Hostel for making my stay so comfortable and welcoming

This place is probably the best hostel I've stayed at and became a home away from home. Aaron and his team do a great job and always go the extra mile for the people that come to stay. Back of Chapel is a lively and fun place to stay and there is hardly ever a dull moment. It's in a perfect location that provides easy access to bars, clubs and amazing food all along Chapel street. It's also very easy to get to the city as well. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here and will certainly miss all of the people that I pretty much call family now. I will never forget my stay at Back of Chapel and I have never felt more welcome at any other hostel. I had an absolute blast! Thank you so much to Aaron and everyone at Back of Chapel!
