Well located. Very friendly staff. Provides useful information.

There is no place to hang clothes at all in the mixed dorm room and they will tell you you can't hand anything on your bed rales... not even your towel, doesn't make sense. They put a sign on our bed to remove clothes if not then you get a fine, when asked what to do with the wet towel they said to put it in the dryer which you have to pay for. Staff useful but not friendly. People staying are mostly travel work visa folks... people are conversational a little but significantly less friendly than other hostels we've stayed at.

Bed comfortable and sheets warm, kitchen and bathroom clean, great location with easy public transportation access. Check in and check out easy. Quiet place, there are a good amount of people staying there on a travel work visa.

I felt the staff weren’t very friendly or accommodating - it seemed like I was bothering them. At check-in, the receptionist gave warnings about drugs, sex, and extra fees, which, while reasonable policies, didn’t feel very welcoming. The receptionist even asked if I had any doubts about staying, which felt quite strange. The hostel is located on a busy road, and it can be loud; even with the windows closed, the traffic noise makes it hard to sleep.

The location is pretty good, and the price was great. The bathrooms are gorgeous - the nicest I’ve ever seen in a hostel - and super clean. The bedroom was clean and the room comfortable, with good kitchen facilities.

The Kitchen is too small

To be honest, the only real issue I had was that someone moved my stuff without my consent. I get that they’re trying to keep the room clean, which is great, but I was the only one actually leaving my luggage on my bed as they requested (which is already kind of a weird rule but whatever), and everything else was inside the lockers. Still, all my shoes, which were inside one of the lockers, were moved to the locker where I was keeping my clothes. Not cool at all. Just because I didn’t use a padlock doesn’t mean anyone has the right to touch my stuff. And I really don’t want my underwear mixed in with my dirty boots. Next time, better asking or just leaving the shoes on the floor, if you must.

The location is pretty spot-on. You can do almost everything for free or a cheap price - especially if you’re willing to walk a bit more than usual to save money (like 30 minutes or so). The bathroom seems newly renovated and is always clean, which I really appreciated. I’d recommend adding a bit of extra furniture where people can leave their belongings while showering. Other suggestions: it’d be nice if the kitchen also offered some basic free seasonings like salt, not just sugar and coffee and if the beds had curtains for a bit of privacy. As for the social vibe: I usually prefer staying in hostels because it’s easier to meet people when you’re traveling solo and short-term. Here, even tho everyone seemed friendly, it was clear that most people already knew each other. I’d dare to say about 85% of the hostel is actually staff. If you’re extroverted, you might find your way in, but otherwise - especially if you don’t speak one of their main languages - it might be harder to connect. Luckily, I was in a room with really nice travelers and already had friends in town, so I still had a great time. It wasn’t an actual problem, just something to keep in mind. They do offer some activities during the week, but I didn’t really see any of them happening - at least not outside their own groups.

There are quite a lot of stairs (which is no problem for me, but just a heads up for others.) Traffic outside the hostel can also be noisy at night. Ear plugs recommended if you are a light sleeper.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Lovely atmosphere, every day the hostel has activities. I had a great stay. Very convenient location for sightseeing Sydney. Bus stop right outside the hostel.

Staff seem to be always hoovering. This woke me up at 6am on one morning. Can be quite disruptive. A curtain would just finish the hostel off nicely. And it also lacks anywhere private to work or make calls but it's a party hostel at the end of the day so fair play.

This is a really lovely hostel and really has the young backpacker in mind. It's social, friendly and welcoming. I was also so grateful to get a room upgrade here. Most of the staff were so lovely and I really enjoyed my stay.

The roof top is amazing, all the amenities are tidy and nice

Stayed in February 2025

- The hallways are a little cramped and the building has a lot of stairs (5 floors to the dorms with no lift) - The Aircon seemed to be on the lowest setting and we were not able to adjust so the room was quite warm

- Lots of great facilities - room top garden, common room and kitchen - friendly staff - good atmosphere

Many of the rooms are just above a very busy street, so this could be difficult for light sleepers unless they are using something to cancel out the noise. I used an App with pink noise and slept well!

Very helpful and friendly staff, free meals and activities. Room and common areas kept clean; plenty of showers / toilets available. Nice rooftop terrace.

One staff member was extremely hostile when I mistakenly checked out half an hour late. She made out that it was a big inconvenience and was very rude, despite the fact that when I arrived at the specified check-in time, my room was not ready. Her behaviour was unacceptable, and she put a dampener on an otherwise great stay.

Most of the staff were extremely friendly, welcoming, and helpful. The room was clean facilities were all good and the rooftop was a great place to chill and have a drink in the evening.
