Frommer's Review

This sprawling Edwardian house, built in 1922, is set back from a busy street behind a leafy courtyard. It's popular with tourists, business travelers, and young families; everyone gets together for frequent video nights, wine-and-cheese parties, and barbecues. The rooms are simply furnished, with little more than a double bed or two singles, a desk, a hand basin, and a wardrobe. Dorm rooms have between three and six beds (there are mixed and girls-only dorms). Guests share six bathrooms. There's a comfortable sitting room. The Olembia is near St. Kilda beach and the restaurants lining Acland Street.

Facilities:
Bike rental; tour desk; coin-op laundry; nonsmoking rooms
