Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Fun place and great location
The hotel was perfectly located for a tram into Melbourne. The staff is very friendly and the rooms are clean and comfortable. The weekly BBQ is the highlight of the stay. The hotel is an easy walk to St. Kilda beach.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Great location across from tram. Easy walk to the beach area and other interesting streets. Private room was comfortable, slightly larger than the average hostel private rooms. Even had a laptop safe in the room. Ive stayed in smaller for more $. It’s social but not rowdy.

We only stayed one night as I took my 11yr old dauggter ti her first live football match. The staff at Habitate HQ were kind enough to make sure they put us in the football themed room, which pleased my daughter no end. We found the staff (Carly I think her name is) to be very friendly and accomodating. The room was very clean and the bathroom spotless. We will definately be back and I will be bringing my wife and son also. (Just bot to the football as they dont like it!) 😂😂😂🏈🏈
