My time in Cooee has been amazing. I’ve spent 3 weeks here and the days away made me realise more what a great place it is. The kitchen and bathrooms are amazin’ aswell as the staff. I came by myself and because of the friendly atmosphere I’m leaving with great people and memories!

Brilliant hostel. Spotless clean. Great TV area, great facilities. And wait for it duvets in the dorms....Tram leaves right outside if you want to go downtown. And St Kilda is only up the road. Great spot. Overall, one of the best hostels I have stayed in while travelling the world.

Having stayed in hostels in Australia, New Zealand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia and Thailand I can happily say that this was the best hostel we stayed in. The standard of the room for the money we paid was streets ahead of anything else. We would definitely recommend the double ensuite to anyone and will be coming back as soon as possible.

The hostel is brand new including facilities, extremely clean and friendly. It’s a great place either to relax or have fun. I absolutely recommend it to everyone!

TripAdvisor.com This hostel is being run in a professional manner. The double room we stayed was very spacious with hotel like facilities. Toilets were neat and clean. The reception open 24 hours with tight security at night. The kitchen and common room were quite big. Even though there were lot of computers…they were always occupied and full. Tram stops just opposite to the hostel, so commutation to city was good. We enjoyed staying in this hostel….

Loved it here. Comfy bed, lovely shower, more like a hotel room. Staff really friendly and helpful. Free pancakes on our last day made the stay just perfect. Would go back again. Tram is easy to get into town but it is really nice in St. Kilda as well.

This is a new Backpacker establishment and it is run very well - you will sleep well as the beds are comfortable and there is no noise. The rooms on the 3rd floor all have ensuite facilities, air con, TV and tea making facilities but no fridge. Rates had been raised due to the Oz Open. Our room had double bed and 2 bunk beds- perfect for a family and outside of Oz open cost would be $100 - good value.

Staff are wonderful, Bathrooms are like a hotel and always clean, good price for what you get. Will come back again!

Great facilities, lots of available computers and 1 hours free internet access. Air con in the bedroom was fantastic especially with the current heatwave of 41 degrees! Would highly recommend this hostel and stay there again especially if you want some peace and quiet for that occasional early night.

I've stayed at a lot of hostels and this is easily the best. Facilities are top notch, staff are great, the whole place is immaculate and I shared with some great people. I'm trying to think of something critical but really I can't. If you want to be in the St Kilda district near the beach but also a short tram ride from town then this is the place for you.

This is a FANTASTIC place to stay, my favourite place. The rooms are comfortable, the bathrooms are the nicest of any hostel I stayed at, internet and lounge very nice. A tram right out front to take you downtown. A short walk to St. Kilda, would stay here again!

Nice clean hostel, very nice place to stay. Best hostel I’ve stayed in on my travels.

The most pleasant backpackers I’ve stayed at – nice and clean! Nice staff! Nice vibe! See you again!

Thanks a mill for a great stay. We may be back! Will def recommend this place to others. Probably the cleanest hostel I’ve ever stayed in!

Thanks guys! First hostel and I don’t think I’ll find a better one…such a lovely place to stay, so well done and thanks

Awesome. FACT: great place to kick back and relax. Kitchen fantastic – Atmosphere is set by friendly (far too helpful) staff who don’t mind being pestered all day every day. You guys have made my Melbourne trip!

Fantastic place, more like a hotel than a hostel. Clean, modern and great location on within walking distance of St Kilda and Chapel St and easy access to the city on 2 tram routes. Great value.

Cooee is a lovely hostel, nice friendly staff, rooms are clean, shower facilities are good too 5 to 10 min walk from St Kilda centre, and the tram stop is just across the road from the hostel, takes 20 mins into central Melbourne I definitely recommend staying here.

It’s very clean and it’s very spacious. I’ve never have problem waiting for bathroom and never had problems waiting in the kitchen. The arrangement of the rooms are reasonable and heaters, air conditioning, hot water and other facilities are considered complete. Common rooms are pretty cosy and the atmosphere in the common room is good, it’s a good place to hang out after a long day trip.

I really enjoyed staying at Cooee… the staff were great, they give you an hour of free internet and there are lots of computers available, the bathrooms/showers were spotless and the dorms were quiet. Common room couches were also comfy.

The hostel was new, clean with very nice and welcoming communal areas and lovely staff. The rooms were clean and beds comfy and bathrooms were fab! My favourite hostel I stayed in Australia and really good value for money.

The staff are very friendly and helpful. I really like the activities/theme nights (like free entrance to cabaret or 'Who Becomes a Millionaire' etc.'. The free breakfast was good, too - same as the pancakes! It's is very clean and the bathrooms are amazing!!!! Beds are cosy and lockers are good. Location is good (not in city but the tram goes pretty often). All in all I really enjoyed my stay!!! Cheers!

The people who work at Cooee are so nice! They planned activities, talked with everyone, and were incredibly helpful! The kitchen is really nice too, and you can store your food there without any worries about it being taken. It was a great place and I will definitely come back.

Really quality place to hang around for a week or so. Great value for money, breakfast is free every day, free bus from the airport, short tram ride to the city. Highly recommend.

Really excellent hostel. Not in st kilda or the city centre but on a direct tramline to both, it’s easy to get everywhere you need. The hostel has a really good vibe to it, great common area with pool table/ bbq/ internet/tv lounge and comfy couches. Can get cutlery and plates for a deposit and kitchen has space to store food though this does get stolen sometimes. Would recommend this hostel and definitely stay there again, good place to meet people!

Great Hostel, has plenty of events so it is really fun to stay at. Also has a nice outdoor area. Great staff as well.

I had a nice clean, private room in this busy hostel. Staff could not have been better - friendly and going out of their way to be helpful. It is close to local shops and only a few minutes walk to the St. Kilda beach. All in all I was very pleased with my stay and would recommend the private rooms to others.

I stayed here because it was convenient for a wedding I was attending in Melbourne, not as a backpacker. However, our room was large, had an ensuite and TV and the added bonus was the great atmosphere provided by lots of young travelers from all over the world. We have been to hostels when travelling and I would thoroughly recommend this one to anyone staying in Melbourne. Fantastic staff who went out of their way to help their guests despite being extremely busy most of the time. I just wish I could have gone on the Party Bus on the Saturday night!

Overall pretty sweet hostel. The common room is set up so you have no choice but to chat to others. Nice court yard too. Down town melbourne is only a 15min tram ride.

Hostelworld.com Easily one of the best hostels I’ve stayed at in my 2 years of traveling… it’s clean, staff are so helpful, it’s secure, clean and realxed. If you’re in Melbourne, stay here. You won’t be disapointed.

Hostelworld.com Great place. Free bbq on Fridays, extremely secure (almost too secure, had to put a deposit down for key access to their carpark). Carpark was a massive bonus in a suburb where parking for more than 1 - 2 hours is hard to come by!

Hostelworld.com Very nice hostel. Staff were good. Cool common area. Really busy though. Kitchen was kind of small for the hostel’s size. The room was great though, felt like we were at a hotel not a hostel. Good location, minutes from St Kilda. Would stay at again.

Hostelworld.com Brilliant hostel. Will recommend to anyone heading to Melbourne.

Just one of the nicest damn hostels I have had the pleasure of staying in. After a minging one in Sydney, treated ourselves to this and rewarded with large, bright, clean room with awesome bathroom. Kitchen set up downstairs is roomy and there seems to be a general air of good will around, very few dirty plates in sinks! Social areas are comfy and large, people interesting and staff friendly.St Kilda beach area is very cool but easy and quick to get into Melbourne via tram. All in all, excellent!

One of the best hostels I've stayed with. You can tell the hostel is determined to keep getting better. The staff are very friendly and making friends in your room and the courtyard couldn’t be easier. Top notch overall.

So glad we booked it! One of the best we’ve stayed in! Staff are helpful and rooms had foxtel channels and air conditioning.

Really enjoyed our stay at this hostel, very clean rooms, bathrooms, and kitchen. Lots of space and a very welcoming atmosphere in lounge/common areas. Close to beach, tram ride from Melbourne city.
