Habitat HQ Reviews

The staff were brilliant and very helpful. The atmosphere was good and very relaxed,. The only thing we had trouble was the wifi was temperamental. The kitchen,bathrooms,rooms were all up to date and very clean. The outdoor area was brilliant and the australia day BBQ was amazing. Best place we stayed in melbourne.

Extremely nice Hostel, located in St. Kilda where there is plenty to do. Only 3 blocks from the library, and a few more to restaurants and grocery stores. Hostel has free wifi, and the place is kept clean. The beds are really comfy, and the bathrooms are well maintained as well as the kitchen being kept clean. I enjoyed my stay, it was a little bit pricey, but it was a nice place. I had a great time there on Australia day, which the staff had a cooked food on the frill for us. I would recommend.

Staff were very friendly and the rooms and facilities nice and clean - and quiet! great soundproofing in rooms and we got a great nights sleep every night we were there. :D

The hostel was fabulous for cleanliness and had a brilliant communal area. There were loads of different things arranged each night by the hostel and lots of info around for newbies. The main downside to the hostel was the cliques formed by the backpackers..... I felt that this was mostly the fault of the hostel and the way it was set up. new guests were moved into rooms with people who had been there for months. seating was grouped together aswell

This hostel was full of pretty girls, and that goes a long way for some of us travelling alone. It was a little like the inmates running the asylum there, but since I'm crazy as hell that suited me just fine. I wouldn't recommend it to older folks looking for a quiet night, but young folks with work visas fit in perfectly here.

10 dorm female: No lights above the bed and no security lockers only a heavy steel drawer. Very small room with nowhere to store things. Stale smelling and hot - no air conditioning. lights were on until 1-2am great if you want a party hostel. Fantastic secure parking area. Staff were unhelpful. In a bit of a dodgy dark area and difficult to find if you are a female on her own. Not close to the city of Melbourne. Watch out for tram times too if want to stay out late at night.

I really enjoyed my stay. The staff were so helpful and friendly. The rooms were big, spacious and clean. Great common areas and with plenty of different tours and activities on every day it gives you a great chance to meet the people!! 10/10

Very good and well-run hostel. Staff is very friendly and helpful and the facilities are very clean. It has a very social atmosphere, so it's very easy to meet tons of people. St. Kilda is a cool suburb, but for first-time visitors to Melbourne it's quite far from the center (15min tram or over 1 hour walk).

Great facility and meet really nice people staying at the hostel. The staff however can be less than helpful. Perhaps they are over worked or under paid, but you get the impression you are probably bothering them. All the time. The downstairs bathrooms needed to be cleaned more often than they were. Overall- I'd recommend the place if you're willing to pay.

great stay at Habitat, would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for somewhere cheap and clean to stay

Good stuff. Would stay there again. Outdoors terrace in summer is dope. Common area good for meeting good peoples.

great bbq on thur night with free beer and wine. one of the best i have stayed at.

Nice hostel. Good location near a grocery store. Kinda far from the city, but an easy tram ride. The kitchen was nice. The common room was cool. Free interent and breakfast were helpful. I would stay there again.

A very big and very busy hostel. Quite expensive but then you are staying in Melbourne. Staff are friendly enough although they have to deal with so many guests that you dont feel like a guest, more like a customer. As with many Hostels in Australia and New Zealand, many of the people staying here are long term stayers who are working in the city and as any backpacker and traveller who moves around will tell you, the is a big difference in mentality between travellers/backpackers and workers.

the place was spot on. friendly staff and verry clean. wish there was a cafe and a bar. but thats my only faults with habitat.

All areas but the kitchen were great. The kitchen was not clean, lacked utensils and did not have adequate counter space to accommodate the number of people.

this hostel is very clean, you can find some sleep and u ve fun there!! they offer u cool tours, through the town, sightseeing, free stuff as well. cheap bbq nites and drinks. they clean the bathrooms at nite, so u dont ve the problem in the morning, when u wanna ve a shower, that u cant access the bathrooms, because they get cleaned. very very cool idea. love it!!!

Loved the hostel, loved Melbourne even despite the shocking weather! Individual lights for each bed would be handy though! Thanks for a great stay!

Hostel was a cool place but the staff? need a fresh up with a few of them expecially the bloke who works there! thinks he's some sort of Mafia don but is a complete arse!

Staff was very helpful at the Check-In, but I got the impression, that they are sometimes stressed out by the people. Ensuite rooms were definitely good, nice beds, enough plug-ins, individual lights are definitely missing though! On the 3rd floor it was nearly impossible to get a connection to the free WiFi....
