Habitat HQ, St. Kilda

I must recommend this hostel of where I was staying throughout my trip in Melbourne… I’m not sure if it is due to I didn’t put very high hope on it or it is so wonderful that I can’t keep it to only myself, I want to share this and recommend to whoever who are planning to go Melbourne.

I got to know this hostel from Melbourn/ Visit Victoria tourism board website. There are few reasons for loving it:

1. Was located away from the busy CBD, but yet very convenient. There’s a tram station right in front of the hostel, hop on and able to reach the CBD in about 20 minutes.

2. Friendly environment and most important, very clean, well equipped (especially the kitchen).

Those are all I can think of right not, but I’m sure if you were to stay there, you couldn’t find any reason or excuse to place any complain.

The outlook at night

The event board… very youngsters friendly hostel, they offered a lot of freebies like drink, wines, organized party at night and etc.
