It warms our hearts to read reviews like this one! ❤️

"We stumbled across Back Of Chapel Backpackers when we typed into google search: "best hostels in Melbourne, Australia" . It sounded good so we went ahead and booked. Within the first few days we knew we struck gold! This hostel became more than just accommodation. Josh and Aaron who run the hostel are some of the most accommodating, helpful and wonderful hosts I have yet to come across in hospitality. They have an ability to run this hostel with a laid back and fun but controlled vibe. Kelly who cleans the hostel is more than just that, she is kind of like the mother of the hostel. She has amazing ability to make you laugh and is always there to talk but also keeps the place spotless. We stayed in private 4 which was more than we could have asked for; comfortable beds, clean linens, lovely balcony and perfect storage bins for all of our stuff. They also provide amazing fans for the summertime and space heaters for the winter time. Josh and Aaron go above and beyond. It is a smaller hostel but it has more than enough facilities and space for everyone. There are 4 showers, 2 washer/dryers and a good sized kitchen, you hardly ever have to wait for anything!

Something that is definitely unique to this hostel is the community of people. I know that I am not the first person to say this, but I will reiterate, the people you meet here are some of the most amazing people you will meet along your travels. There are people from all over the world all with different stories all of different ages so there is always something going on! Whether its the common room, kitchen, front porch or backyard there will be someone to talk to or people to have fun with. It is definitely something an added bonus when you're travelling.

Another reason why this hostel is the best, is the location! Chapel street is one of Melbourne's gems; from the amazing bar scene and delicious cafe/restaurants to the op-shops and bizarres, there is literally something for everyone. It is also a very short tram or train ride to the CBD and St. Kilda beach. It is honestly the perfect location.

If you are planning a trip to Melbourne for any amount of time this is the only place to stay, you will know within moments upon arriving. I bet you any money you will even extend your stay because of this place. That's what happened to us and it was the best decision we made!"
