The ground floor houses Hotel Barkly, a pub serving food and drinks with daily happy hour (4-5 PM, $5 jugs) and weekly specials like Tuesday nachos, steak night, and Sunday roast. Free pancakes are offered Sunday mornings. There is also a shared kitchen equipped with hobs, a toastie maker, and a large fridge, though no oven or air fryer.

Weekly events include billiards, trivia, movie nights, live music, walking tours, and free yoga on the rooftop terrace. The rooftop offers views of the beach and is a workspace during the day. The hostel also has a TV lounge, a sun terrace, and a shared lounge for meeting other travelers.
St Kilda beach and transport
Summer House Melbourne is a 10-minute walk from St Kilda Beach and Luna Park. It is surrounded by bars, cafes, and shops on Acland Street. Tram stops (routes to CBD) are 5-10 minutes away, and the SkyBus from Melbourne Airport drops off directly in front of the hostel. The city center is a 25-minute tram ride.
24-hour front desk and tours
The hostel operates a 24-hour front desk, offers luggage storage and lockers, and provides tour desk services. Guests can use the shared kitchen, laundry facilities, and an ATM on site. Daily housekeeping is included. Key card access and CCTV monitor common areas and outside property for security.
“I found the communal areas, particularly the rooftop, to be a real hub for connection and relaxation, even offering complimentary BBQ facilities. While the private rooms provide ample space and comfort, and the staff's helpfulness is evident, some thought could be given to diversifying the complimentary breakfast offerings. Still, the convenient location and the overall atmosphere make it a worthwhile stay.”
