For those of you that are familiar with hostelling, Habitat HQ offers a better than average hostelling experience. In terms of facilities, the kitchen offers a wealth of cooking tools and the large lounge offers a decent way in which to relax. The hostel provides 400 mb of free internet each day, not enough to download anything, but enough to... More

I was recommended this hostel to stay in and I'm quite sure it would be the place to stay had I visited in summer however I didn't really enjoy my stay! The room was a 10 bed girl dorm that was tiny with inadequate storage facilities for any luggage so you can imagine the mess of the room! The kitchen... More

Friendly and helpful staff, room OK but 'long-termers' had overtaken all the space, ladies toilets/showers clean but vomit on the floor and in a sink in the male ones . Very noisy, the kitchen was dirty. Further from the city centre than was implied. We set off for an evening stroll to the beach but never got there - we... More

Thanks Chrisandbuzzard for taking the time to review your stay with us. I’m glad you appreciated the efforts of our staff members during your stay. I am sorry that you didn't enjoy our location. We do advertise that we are roughly a 20 minute tram ride from the city center, a 10 minute walk to Acland Street and Chapel Street... More

This is absolutely the best hostel I've been to! Every night there's something fun to do and the staff is very helpfull and really nice. The bathrooms are clean and you get 4mb free internet for every day you are there. I just loved it, great people as well that are staying there for a longer time!
