With a shared lounge, the 4-star hostel has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a shared bathroom. The accommodation provides karaoke and a shared kitchen. I love this hostel!

I’ve been the first time in the hostel with dinner. Great experience! The staff was so kind and friendly! The location is in the Chinatown and I liked that.

Set in Sydney and within 1.2 km of Hyde Park Barracks Museum, AZZURO POD HOTEL - Potts Point features a terrace, non-smoking rooms, and free WiFi. Featuring a shared lounge, this 3-star hostel has air-conditioned rooms with a shared bathroom. Central Station Sydney is 2.7 km away and International Convention Centre Sydney is 3.9 km from the hostel. Due to a last-minute change of plans, I urgently needed to extend my stay. I had to split my accommodations between two different locations, but I'm grateful that the staff were able to secure me a place. Otherwise, I would have been homeless. I'm very thankful for their assistance and will definitely return if I come back to Sydney. Thank you!

Boasting seaviews, all rooms at Little Coogee Hotel include a refrigerator, flat-screen TV. Some feature a kitchenette with a microwave. All private rooms ( queen or twin ) or shared dorm rooms include an en-suite bathroom with a shower/toilet and air conditioning / heating, I stayed in a 4-bed female dorm. The room was small but had an en-suite bathroom which was lovely. The bed was comfy and had a privacy curtain, power outlet and reading light. The AC in the room worked well! The hostel has 2 kitchens (level 1 & level 3) so if one was busy you could use the other. The hostel is 15 min walk to Clovelly Beach and 15 min walk to Coogee Beach. There is a bus stop right outside the hostel and heaps of cute cafes and restaurants within 3-5 min walk up or down the street! Perfect location! And the hostel was very clean - the dorm room and bathroom were cleaned twice each day.
