Award-winning backpacker hostel on St Kilda Road, close to the tram line into the CBD and St Kilda's beach.
Habitat HQ is an award-winning backpacker hostel at 333 St Kilda Road, positioned on the tram line connecting St Kilda to the Melbourne CBD, with St Kilda's beach and Fitzroy Street precinct also within walking distance. The hostel has picked up industry recognition for its facilities and design compared with older-style St Kilda hostels, offering Dorm Bed and Private Room accommodation alongside a shared kitchen and laundry. Its St Kilda Road position, slightly set back from the main Fitzroy Street strip, gives quicker tram access into the CBD than hostels deeper into St Kilda, while still being a walkable distance from the beach. The hostel attracts a broad backpacker and budget-traveller base, including longer-stay guests using it as a base for work or extended Melbourne exploration.
