Disappointing

Investing for more comfort

They have a chilly TV- room with netflix for free and they also provide a garden area in the hostels backyard which is good for relaxing. A tree in one corner gives a little shade, in hot summer very pleasant.

The hostel is separated in 3 equal parts, each part contains about 6 shared rooms. In these 6 rooms can stay up to 52 people in total if it is fully booked. The biggest problem is sharing 3 showers, 2 toilets and 3 bathroom sinks with those 52 people. The other 2 parts are built the same way with nearly same problems in bathroom conditions. You have to wait a long time for your bathroom time and it can't be that hygienic than it should be. There is one additional bathroom when you leave the hostels building and enter the garden backyard which contains 2 showers, 2 toilets, 3 sinks. Another issue is the check-in, which you have to do with a QR-Code online and upload personal sensitive data information to a server somewhere. In summer it is too hot and they have no air-conditioning. No available elevator, small stairways, so if you have a room on 3rd level and heavy luggage, good luck finding someone giving you a hand. In the end I wouldn't recommend the stay if you are concerned about your personal data information and like hygienic bathrooms.

Pleasant

Nothing to loose if you stay for a night or two

Liked the garden and the very friendly staff. The location at the central station is perfect. Lot of bars and cafes next.

Its only a place to sleep, nothing more nothing less. Could be cleaner.

The best place to stay in Sydney.

The staff and people are incredible. There is always something to do where anyone can be involved with an open invite! A very lively place to be & connect with new people.

The rooms get very hot at night

Nice crews attitude.

No air conditioning. As we all known, Sydney is so hot in summer. So, it is terrible. It is too noisy at night to sleep. No female bathroom. No elevator. The stair is narrow to carry big suitcase to your room.

Great stay, would recommend 100%!

Clean rooms, clean kitchen, clean bathrooms Large common areas nice Tv room Lots of space in the dorms Everyone is very friendly Small events every days of the week Fair price compared to others hostels. 10/10, can hardly do better in terms of confort and cleanliness

Nothing, except for some roommates that were disrespectful but thats not the hostels fault. I wasnt a big fan of the location but its my personal opinion (not a city person) because you got everything you need at reach (woolworth, coffees shops, bus stations)
