to get started.

The location was fine. It was a bit expensive but that’s probably in parts a Sydney thing.

Eva, Germany

Great location, organized activities, clean environment, it was relatively quiet after 10pm and by 12am, and the private bedroom.

Crystal, China

First time staying in a backpacker. Very good for solo travelers to socialize and meet new people from various cultures Smooth check in Friendly staff Super great location

Samy, Saudi Arabia

Pretty efficient staff, because this place was busy when I showed up! I stayed in a private room on the second floor and a 6-bed on the third floor and they both had super high ceilings which made the room feel nice and large. The bathrooms (private and shared) were clean, as were the linens. Staff made a point to check for room keys of those coming in after a certain time at night, which made me feel safer.

Best hostel I’ve stayed in!! Very social, has a lot of free events, free drinks some nights, awesome location next to central station!

Kenzie, United States of America

The location is amazing and the hostel is clean, staff are very friendly especially Sofie who is kind and a great conversationalist. The hostel also has daily activities so its very easy to meet new people

Anonymous, Canada

I stayed in a private room - it was clean. The hostel tries its best to organize social events so that fellow travelers meet each other. Big hostel, maybe slightly more catering to those looking to meet people and go out. There’s a club at the basement of the property that seems to be popular amongst younger crowds in the city. Fabulous location right next to the central station.

Brian, United States of America

The property is very handy and nicely organized to use. Overall it’s of great value pack and location is perfect.

Qcmonica, United States of America

Location was great - super close to Murray's pick up and drop off for people coming from Canberra. Didn't notice any noise as my room was on the top floor.

Ally, Australia

Really enjoyed my stay here. As a first time solo traveller it was great that the hostel put so many free events on. The bar is a really good place to meet people. Bedroom was great, bathroom was never busy which is a bonus. The kitchen was clean and well looked after, cleanest kitchen I've experienced so far! Really central to Sydney, only took about 15 minutes to get there from the airport! The bus station is just over the road as well. The staff were amazing and it is nice to feel they genuinely have an interest and care about your stay and travels etc. Just loved it and will stay again on my travels!
