Wake Up! Sydney Central

Location Ok, close to train station so easy to reach.... but far from waterfront Side-bar below clean room & facilities

Kitchen not so big for such a big hostel No real comfy & social common room to meet... the TV room has big screen and loud film/serie on it, not the best Private room too basic for the price, not even a chair in the room!

I had a great time at Wake up!! And can't fault the service so Thankyou!

Attentive staff at 24 hour front desk Private rooms Small, reasonably priced side cafe and bar Great location by central station

Bathrooms not clean Thin walls and noise

It has an excellent position

It's not so clean, and you have to pay for wifi

The location was good. It's quick 15 minutes or so from the International terminal by airport train, then walk-able from the station and easy to find. Large lcd tv in private double room. Though extremely sparse for other furniture. Powerful showers, untimed, shower as long as you want with consistent hot water. Luggage storage available at hostel on ground floor, although must pay for usage due to the fact they are secure lockers. The big ones are big enough to fit a full size suitcase around 30kg plus a backpack. Very popular bar right next door with good deals. We were given free drink vouchers upon arrival to use at the bar, from the hostel.

We booked 4 months in advance, private double room. Highly expensive for what you actually get. When we arrived, room was far too hot as we were rushing. Ok, yes, we did adjust after an hour or so, but girlfriend agrees, temp was definitely uncomfortable upon arrival. Our neighbour even had the door open and sitting halfway out in the hallway presumably for air. Not sure what temp they keep the rooms at but was told this wasn't adjustable, took about an hour to feel comfortable. Would have liked to put it a couple degrees lower or the ventilation at a higher speed. Furthermore, Window blinds didn't work. City lights very bright where this hotel is located. Staff member did tried best to rectify the problem (no other room available). Ended up getting a spare sheet and draping it over the large windows to block out the light so we could actually sleep. I found that bathroom cleanliness was fine in the mens bathroom. I have no complaint. However it was "really disgusting" in the ladies bathroom according to my girlfriend. We were there 2 nights she reports it seemed to not have been cleaned even once, rubbish/stains in the same places during the entire stay. Of the 3 or 4 toilets, 1 wasn't working, the other 3 were atrociously dirty. There is a sign inside that says inform reception if the bathroom needs cleaning, but I find this to be a poor policy, women may be more shy to report. Hostel needs to inspect bathrooms with more regularity. Lastly, we were travelling as a couple and were given 2 keycards, however 1 keycard didn't work, so we informed reception immediately and were given a replacement keycard, when we returned later that night, the replacement card also didn't work, luckily we got a working one on the 3rd try.

Very helpful staff. Great location.

Bathrooms a bit dirty when wanted a shower after arriving 11:00pm

Clean, rooms with plenty of space, several bathrooms.

No free wifi, wifi couldnt be paid with credit card.

The upbeat atmosphere Friendly staff The Side Bar! Events programme Security

No swimming pool Wifi not free :-( Cinema room could be cosier and separate from kitchen area

Isn't that up , should have free wifi

The bright fresh vibrant colours. Exceeded our expectations

There were no tips or suggestions for parking options. We ended up getting stung with parking, paying $52 for overnight parking (15 hours) That was a shame as we had no idea of any alternatives

The rooms were clean, so were the lounge rooms, and the kitchen. The staff were friendly and very helpful.

Some of the stalls in the bathroom had faulty locks. Plus the water doesn't heat up well.

Really helpful and friendly staff. Room and shared facilities basic but clean. Extremely good value for money.

Nice and close to everything, cheap clean accommodation

Really comportable and clean hostel. Perfect for younger backpackers wanting some fun and to meet lots of people!

When so expensive I think wifi should be for free as at so many other cheaper hostels! The waiting for the always over-full elevators all the time was a minus too. A bit too expensive for a longer stay but for some nights it's totoally worth it!

have to pay for everything, a little over priced

Close to bus/train Sydney Central Security Cook own meals - save money Talk to other travellers

Lots of noise on Saturday night!

Fre walking tour followed by beer Friendly staff, clean tidy facilities

Nil to report

Stayed for a week over new years and the room wasn't cleaned once. Bin was over flowing and floor was dirty. Not acceptable seeing how over priced it was. Kitchen was to small and had to wait for a space even then there was no free saucepans to use so had to wait for someone to finish using theirs.

That it was clean and the staff were nice.

People continually sitting in the main door way

Great location for CBD.

Wifi not being free, most hotels/hostels in europe, south africa and usa have free wifi for guests. It isn't expensive to provide for guests.

great location: near the train station. several activities and organized events (city tour, beaches tour...). very clean.

no free wifi

I liked the rooms and how safe we felt in the rooms as you need key card to activate the lift. Great location

I didn't like the blinds in the room they are between two pains of glass and don't close fully so light comes in from the street. Also house keeping knock say housekeeping and come straight in when I had called out no thank you. They walked in on me trying to get dressed. It was pretty cold in the room it was like a swampy was on but it wasn't that hot. It was max 25 degrees. Its a good place but just a few downfalls.

Location and security

Not quite value for money

Lot of bagbackers and easy make friendships. :) Pretty clean and fresh look. Free citywalk and beachwalk are perfect to make friends!

Price is abit high for a bagpackers...

Good location, clean
