This is a perfect place to stay when visiting Sydney. It is a really modern hostel. Everything is really clean. The location is perfect. It is close to a lot of restaurants and bars but there is no outside noise in the hostel.

Katrien, China

Pros: The hostel is extremely convenient to get to from the airport, it is also nicely situated near Surrey Hill. If you're looking for a place that is centrally located, this is a good spot. Staff was also pretty friendly and the hostel was clean.

Everything about this hostel is great. You have your own plugs and lamp next to your bed, the rooms are clean. Shower facilities are amazing, there are hairdryers and place to put your dry clothes in the actual shower cubicle. There is always something going on at the hostel which means it is really easy to make new friends - perfect for the solo traveller. I felt safe and comfortable here and could honestly spend an extended period of time here. Location is fabulous and perfect If you have a flight the next day as central station is literally across the road. FREE WIFI which Is excellent, and lockers.

Chloe, United Kingdom

Plugs next to your bed. Clean rooms, excellent bathroom facilities (including hairdryers!), Side bar is a great place to meet new people. Staff are brilliant.

Chloe, United Kingdom

The staff is really nice and the shower room also provides the hair dryer. The location is perfect.

Ziran, United States of America

Really nice and comfortable hostel for what you pay! I was travelling with 3 other friends and because we booked all separately it was hard for the staff to get us all in the same room but they went above and beyond for us and were able to put two of us together and the other two together. As well as this she also upgraded two of us to our own private room for no extra charge which was really nice of her to do! We loved it here and would definitely stay again.

Madeleine, Australia

Very friendly and welcoming staff So close to the railway station For night layover to catch international flight the next day Would recommend to anyone doing the same Thank you once again for a wonderful stay

“Perfect place to visit Sydney from!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Twin Room with Shared Bathroom
- • Stayed 1 night
눉We asked about how to get to the airport early in the morning. We even mentioned the exact time: 7 am. When we came downstairs to find a taxi, a pick-up service to the airport arrived and we were able to go to the airport much cheaper (per person) than by train or taxi and none of the staff mentioned this service the day before. Another things was that there was a girl skyping her boyfriend in the hallway for over an hour after 10 pm (quiet time at the hostel) but I don't think there is any control because the hostel is very big.
눇This is a perfect place to stay when visiting Sydney. It is a really modern hostel. Everything is really clean. The location is perfect. It is close to a lot of restaurants and bars but there is no outside noise in the hostel.

눉Bedding - the pillows stank of dirty hair mould. The shower was full of mould. The room felt dirty. The noise from the street and bar outside all night, and the noise from other guests all night.

“A place to stay conveniently located to the Airport and Surrey Hill”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double Room with Private Bathroom
- • Stayed 4 nights
눉Cons: We stayed in a private room. The room felt small even by hostel private room standards. It was also boiling hot in our room when we arrived but that could just have been because the sun was facing the room. You cannot control the thermostat from the room and they were unable to fix the problem for us. By nighttime, the room cooled down. The immediate area around the hostel is not that nice but it is not sketchy either.
눇Pros: The hostel is extremely convenient to get to from the airport, it is also nicely situated near Surrey Hill. If you're looking for a place that is centrally located, this is a good spot. Staff was also pretty friendly and the hostel was clean.

Very Good
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Twin Room with Shared Bathroom
- • Stayed 3 nights
눉We are only told that children below 18 are not allowed to use shared bathroom. Since we did not plan for the extra costs for ensuite room, we had a unpleasant surprise. I think this should be clearly written in their website. We actually feel out of place after this. Stayed in YHA before, they are more family orientated.
눇Really like the walking tour that is both relaxed and fun, Alba was a great guide. The location is fantastically strategic to get anywhere. We had a double room with ensuite which is really comfortable.

“The BEST hostel I have ever stayed in!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Bed in 6-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room

눉Some of the rooms are a little bit cramped and there isn't enough space for everyone's luggage. This is the only problem ! I couldn't fully open my suitcase up to get into my stuff. I did have 2 people getting it on in my room as well but that can't be avoided sometimes :P
눇Everything about this hostel is great. You have your own plugs and lamp next to your bed, the rooms are clean. Shower facilities are amazing, there are hairdryers and place to put your dry clothes in the actual shower cubicle.
