"St Kilda East Backpackers. We walked in, not one to book us in, not that that mattered, we couldn't stay there. smelt like dead rats, worse than if you pictured a hovel. We rang the owner, and Wotif rang the owner. Both responses were if people want a clean place to stay, they should go somewhere else. I would be very surprised if Wotif allow this hostel to book through them ever again."

Holiday Inn Express Melbourne Little Collins by IHG

Holiday Inn Express Melbourne Little Collins by IHG

10/10 Excellent
"Great stay, good choices for breakfast. The bathroom situation is abit odd though. The walls of the shower are glass and you can see the silhouettes of people when showering. If staying on your own it’s fine, but a stay with family was a little awkward. Had to opt for showering in the dark instead."
