This sleek place walks the line between hostel and budget hotel. Private rooms have iPod docks and flat-screen TVs, while dorms have touches like large lockers with sensor lights and lockable adapters. Some doubles have en suites and balconies. The rooftop hot tub and free St Kilda shuttle (summer only) are big ticks. Book direct to avoid their wi-fi fees.
Female-only dorms available. There's also a gym, a BBQ balcony, a bar and a mini movie theatre for 24 people. Ask for a room away from the bar if you're a light sleeper.
