BUG review
The Alpine Lodge is a nice hotel/hostel with a relaxing atmosphere. The dorms are above a café, and have long rows of bunks with good mattresses laid out side-by-side. The bathrooms and the fully-equipped kitchen are clean and there is a spacious TV lounge with new sofas and a wooden veranda. Guests can use the laundry facilities and there is a bar and restaurant in the adjoining hotel building. It is a bit institutional and basic, but if you are staying in St Arnaud, it is a good choice.
About BUG's hostel reviews
This hostel was visited by one of BUG's team of hostel inspectors who write independent reviews and assess a star rating based on an objective assessment criteria.
We show up unannounced at hostels to write honest and unbiased hostel reviews. Many of BUG's reviews now feature videos and photo slideshows. BUG never receives payment for listing any establishment and BUG's researchers never accept free accommodation in exchange for favourable reviews.
