The best hostel of 15 I have stayed at in Australia! - Great atmosphere. Not too big that you feel anonymous and not too small that its boring. Whatever the night you can find people to chill or party with! - Quiz nights, karaoke, free weekly bbq in summer, bar crawl, live music, and plenty of prizes to win! - Comfy lounge and TV room, very good kitchen, free breakfast, and free WiFi! Also hats off to the helpful and friendly staff! Top of the class are: Sinead, Jess, Pam, and Ella! A+

I am in the age group of the parents of most of the young people who stay here, but i appreciated having a double room with an ensuite that was well away from the lift and noise. It was comfortable, clean and half the price of a hotel room! So i certainly recomend staying here whatever your age!

I liked this hostel, but a lot of the people were living there and were already in a very set group, which made it a bit harder to meet people. My first room was very clean, but my second room was very messy and smelly. The common area and the garden were very nice and the bathrooms were clean. The free wifi and free breakfast were a definite plus.

I love habitat. It's such a friendly homely place. The staff are great also. The pub crawl and BBQ are great additions also. Stay here when in Melbourne!

Very bad location! not close to anything. St. Kilda is not the best place to stay. Also too big hostel and like many other in Australia lots of people living there.

We had high expectations of Habitat but were really disappointed, $34 a night to stay in a dark tiny 10 bed dorm that stunk. No room to put ur bags, our room door didnt even shut properly, I got a bad back from the mattress as could feel all the springs. Got told off by the washing up police because we left a chopping board unwashed while we were eating our food, reception staff were rude when my friend asked to use the 1 hour Internet on the PC's. Save your money and go to Base,its way better!

This is definatly a party hostel in a party neighborhood. As a guy who's years past group drinking games I found myself wishing for a quiet space to hang out and play guitar. That said, if I were 22 and wanted to be in a safe, fun place to booze it up and blow off steam this would be perfect. They keep the place very clean, there are multiple layers of security including under bunk lockers, assuming you have your own lock, and a short walk to lots of St Kilda stuff. Staff are great!

Was all good . The TV in double room could have been more logically thought out though .
