My preferred choice of room at StKilda was the one with 3 bunk beds, a fridge, and an en suite. It was tiny, especially with 6 girls constantly moving in and out for work or job interviews, creating quite an intense environment. The location isn't too bad, but it is on a road known for prostitutes and homeless individuals.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. It was great for me on the balcony side of the complex, away from the noisy front door where people were yelling all night due to the lack of enforcement of the 10 pm curfew. The rooms were very basic, but unfortunately, they were dirty with cigarette butts under the beds and filthy marks on the walls.

The hotel offers extremely affordable rooms, but my stay was terrible because of the dirty conditions with cigarette butts under the beds, filthy marks on the walls, a full garbage bin inside the room, and old bed sheets left on the bed. The value for money was not ideal.

The hotel had some drawbacks like bad odors, lack of fans, and unpleasant bathrooms, but the rooms themselves were surprisingly good. The shared patio with other rooms was a unique feature, and the proximity to the tin roof was interesting. Despite feeling unsafe at times, the overall room quality was commendable.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of pros and cons. The room was tiny with 3 bunk beds, a fridge, and an en suite, which made it cramped with 6 girls coming in and out, especially during work or job interview times. The view from the room was onto a tin roof, and the first floor seemed a bit questionable. The bathrooms, although unisex and with 2 per corridor, led to congestion since showers and toilets were not separated. However, there were a few vending machines available.

I stayed at the hotel, and here's my experience: the rooms had a bizarre asylum look, with a view of a tin roof. The first floor felt like a crack den, and the unisex bathrooms caused congestion. However, the location was great for accessing restaurants and the sea, even though it had its fair share of night activities. Service was a bit lacking, even for basic needs like laundry services.
