to get started.

Easy 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

It 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.

Once, it was just after 10 pm, we were talking a bit louder in our room, and the manager of the sidebar came in suddenly without knocking..
Best hostel for the start in australia. The activities are perfect to get to know some people. I was there a few times now and met great people.

The lockers in the room were very small, the carpet (therefore the whole floor) smelt pretty bad. I was on the first floor, I’m told from someone staying on the 7th floor that it was a complete contrast and so it seems it’s just luck of the draw which room you get.
The staff work really hard to include all guests in the activities.

The kitchen close at 10pm and there's no possibility even to take something you left in the fridge or to have a snack. That's a very bad thing.

When I first visited the air con was too cold but seems they’ve kept it fair during my recent visit. Would advise you reserve an 8 or 10 bed room if you have a lot of luggage for more space.
Friendly and helpful staff. Very accommodating. Good tours. Excellent location near central station. Helpful vending machines and laundry. Fairly social hostel with a lot of nightlife in the bar below. A lot of people are there doing a working holiday.

Nothing.
This was the best hostel I have ever been in. They have put me on a higher floor on request and let me check in early. The receptionist Alba was also a very nice person and took us on a free walking tour. The batrooms are very spacious and clean and are cleaned everyday. There is a bar (free for guests) under the hostel which was great. They also organised activities every day and there was a big kitchen. Location right across the central station. Perfect stay !

The location is brilliant and it’s right near central station. The beds were comfy and they always had a lot of social options going on there and deals for drinks. The bar food and drinks were reasonably priced. And breakfast is great. Bathrooms are clean and spacious so can’t fault it really.

Bathrooms were a little unclean at times but it didn't bother me too much!
I chose this hostel based on its close proximity to Central Station as I had an early flight the next morning. The hostel staff were friendly and the kitchen/lounge area is massive with heaps of storage and cooking stations (which would be perfect for a longer stay).
