    There's Cooee in St. Kilda. I didn't stay there but a workmate did and he lived there for a few weeks. Loved the place!

    What do you mean?Santa does visit australia doesn't he? jokin.

    two of us,couple,26.Have absolutely no idea what chrimbo is like there or what their traditions are.We are both quite christmas traditional and are gutted we are missing it.We are hoping that we will be in a place where people will be in the same boat and are willing to have a bit of a laugh christmas eve and day,instead of staying in rooms etc.I'v stayed in hostels that have no social atmosphere whatsoever(mainly because tvs in the room) and stayed in places where every resident seems to get together for a few drinks - we like to party and that but we don't particularly need to be getting blind drunk,but a few bevvies will be had.

    So we're looking at booking this Back of Chapel place,on chapel st i guess.Hopefully everyone should be fairly cool and want to celebrate like us!

    ho ho ho!

    I stayed in Base for awhile out in St. Kilda, its pretty cool. They have a good hostel bar & they normally have something going every night, recommended. Plenty Irish in St. Kilda aswell, probably moreso than anywhere else in the city, plenty bars & stuff its good craic. I moved into the city eventually but its only a short spin in a taxi/tram.

    I'm guessing by super hostel you mean size wise? Base in Kilda's isn't all that big, its not small either though. I found the place very friendly, couldn't complain. Most of the people working there are backpackers working there for free accom, so needless to say there very outgoing. Don't know what the double rooms are but I'm sure its mentioned on the site, 8 bed dorms were about $24/13e a night
