Great value, comfortable room and awesome location!
AustraliaEverything. Is a really good hostel. Super clean and the rooms are very comfortable.
ChileEasy access from the airport to this location using the train. The receptionist staff was so friendly and helpful. Terrific place to connect with other travelers due to the daily organized outings by the staff. An overall good place to stay while you get familiar with the city
United States of AmericaIt was in a great location, the staff is very helpful, and the WIFI is really good. It's really secure. You get in and out the rooms with a key card and the front door requires the key card after hours. When I checked out, I was able to hang around in the lobby and was offered a key card that gave me access to the kitchen. I'd stay here again next time I'm in Sydney.
ColombiaI stayed here two nights two weeks apart and had a great time both times!! The staff is amazingggggg!!! Ppl are super friendly and there’s a bar right downstairs!! Very clean communal bathrooms too!
CanadaLocation, cleanliness of the property and amazing staff.
PhilippinesThe location is good, in front of central station. The staff allowed me to put my luggage in the room early.
IndonesiaThe fact that they have lots of activities and things to do at night but they don’t have much in the day time but it’s okay . Very big hostel 7 floors so you’ll always find people to hang out and make good friends!
