Aircon is controlled for the whole floor and it was freezing!! Did go ask for this be changed but it didn't change throughout the night. Hostel is also not the most social for solo travellers as a lot of tours start from here.

Hostel is in a great location and is generally presented really well too.

We had some noisy neighbours who were racing around the corridors making a noise well after 1 am. Having said that the building had good noise proofing so we could not hear the noise from the bar downstairs.

Very convenient to train station. The room and shared bathroom were clean, reception was open 24 hours and good facilities.

Front stuff is very friendly and kind. And I could make a friend at Grand floor. Lobby is clean and you can comfortably use sofa and table.

Little bit of a walk to the harbour but was good to find things along the way

Right outside of central station was perfect location for us as we got the train right after our flight

Good price and location

Very sociable hostel! I didn’t expect to make so many friends but everyone was so nice and friendly. I hated the idea of communal toilets/showers but they were actually really good

It didn't affect us as we were only staying three nights, but it would've been a struggle to find space in the fridges and kitchen cupboards - it was very busy! Has an attached nightclub, so could be a bit more lively than some might like!

The hostel is just across the road from the train station, direct from the airport. Also very close to Chinatown, as well as other nice bars and restaurants! The room was nice and bright (but with blinds) and came with free towel and soap which was nice. The communal bathroom was clean as was the room. Staff were friendly and helpful - the aircon in our room was too cold and they were able to adjust it. The kitchen was huge and well stocked with lots of space for cooking.

it's noisy at night as there is a pub down there, lound music that I could hear clearly until late at night. Also I could hear the sound fron the next room, door closing, people walking on the hallway and upstairs. I am a quick sleeper so it was ok.

The hostel meets every guest's need : comfy bed, clean place, generous common area, luggage storage , friendly staffs, great location and allows to use the common area including shower before check in and after check out that's very kind. Staffs are sooo friendly and helpful, they try their best for guest's happy stay . The hostel is just opposite Central Station, walking distance to bus stop, light train and Chinatown.

Small room

Great location great security

The Mattress was very thin and light, and slipped around on the base a lot. The shared bathroom was right at the other side of the floor which was annoying. The vending machine in the foyer was broken.

The location was great, right across the road from Sydney Central Station ad very close to China town restaurants. Hostel was very clean and facilities were good.

I wouldn't say there was anything I didn't like. There was only one kitchen over 7 floors, which at certain times of day would get busy or crowded; especially just before it closed for the night or cleaning. Sometimes, you'd get back late from a day trip out and not be able to cook, so you had to get takeaways or walk about looking for open places.

The reception staff were always very friendly, kind and helpful at all hours. The location was very convenient for the main railway station and the trams; especially the ease of getting into town, to the Opera House and Harbour Bridge! I loved being in a small 4 - bed dorm with nice friendly other travellers. There were 7 floors, with a large communal kitchen, clean facilities and lovely hot showers. They also had a cafe, basement bar, with theme nights and travel desk in reception to help plan trips and advice on places of interest. I'd definitely stay there again when I return one day!

It's a shame that a young female couple were placed in a room with two middle aged men. It felt a bit uncomfortable and maybe rooming could be allocated better.

Hannah on reception who checked us in and out was super helpful and friendly! The hostel was so clean and the rooms are nice. The free coffee on departure was a gorgeous addition. The fact that hostel guests got free entry to sidebar is really nice too. Makes us want to return.

Curtains would be nice for a little morw privacy.

Enough space, very nice staff. Free coffe when you get there. Activities sounded fun we had no time to take part. Enough locker space and good bunks.

Sterile atmosphere which felt more like a hotel, too busy, awful bar.

Lots of good amenities, lots of events, very comfortable rooms, great location, friendly staff, clean, good kitchen.

The bathroom was far from the room, the hand dryers and hair dryers didn’t work. The room windows couldn’t be opened

The room was clean, basic but had what we needed.

•Laundry was a slight rip off for the washing considering you’re bringing your own detergent, less so for the drying. •Kitchen and dining area was a tad small for the number of guests. •Got firmly verbally shooed out of the kitchen and then the dining area by a staff member at ‘closing time’, which was not too late an hour (when there were still plenty of other guests still around) (and when I was having dinner in peace) (also the attitude and tone exhibited made it feel as if that one staff member decided they had a vengeance against me whom they’d never seen before - I was tempted to ask for a partial refund or future voucher but alas I didn’t in the end), which I’ve never seen happen at any other hostel in Australia or the world. The other hostels I’ve stayed at to date all have the common/dining/kitchen area accessible 24 hours a day. Everyone staying up for longer were ordered down to the lobby which was already crowded.

•Decent vibe •Well maintained •Reasonably clean •Friendly staff (except for one as explained in the negatives) •Helpful staff •Very easy to build rapports with fellow guests and the staff •Nice spacious rooms •Reasonably spacious lockers •Very good location just across the road from the central train station and coach stands

It was really hard as a solo traveller. Because this is the no.1 spot for all the tours and they will book like 7 out of 8 beds in a room for a tour etc, a lot of the people are not looking to make friends with others and already know each other. I think the hostel should really try not to put an entire room except one person all from one booking group as it makes it super hard to socialise and often uncomfortable.

Good bar, nice facilities, clean

I have dust mite allergy and the bed linen really gave me a hard time every night. We stayed in a 3-people room with a bank bed that had a double bed and a single bed on top — the could have been bigger considering there were 3 of us in there + luggage for 3 people.

The bathrooms were really clean and there was a lot of space considering that is shared with everyone staying in the same floor. The kitchen was big and, despite all the people staying at the hostel, there was always space to prepare our meals. Plus, it has many fridges and cupboards to store your goods. I also got wine and cheese for free one night, which was nice! Location is really good, around 20 mins walk from CBD, next to China Town so there’s plenty of tasty and cheap restaurants.
