First of all yes as MindfulWanderer From San Francisco, California said that Habitat HQ offers free Bags as gifts for writing a review , but this doesn't imply that guests should write LIES . So instead of just accusing others of doing bad things we shall imply good intentions from both sides ; the Hostel and the reviewers. To avoid... More

I really like that there was no bar and they had a BYO policy, which makes it easy and laid back to just lounge with other guests, drink whatever you like (dare if it is goon) and socialize. The courtyard is nice too, if the weather is fitting. Also, do the daily events to meet other travellers, win prizes, and... More

I suspect all the glowing reviews are based on the fact that Habitat offers you a free bag if you review them, and people would feel pretty awkward giving a bad review and then asking for a bag. I mean, the hostel is fine, it's a hostel, but I would never be this enthusiastically positive about this place. After 3... More

One of the best hostels i've stayed at. Clean, good amenities. However the staff were not chirpy. On nightshift they had us waiting outside for a length of time before letting us in. Only to then interrigate us. I understand it is their job but they could do it with a bit more charm 'how was your night', 'how can... More

Very cool hostel. Stayed for 10 nights and I'm very happy I chose Habitat in St Kilda. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Every day there are many many activities and of course every Wednesday morning free pancakes :) Met so many nice people there and in such a short time. This hostel makes you feel like you're home!
