The location so close to transport and did not have to walk far being a solo traveller at night. As I came in late and had to leave early it was great to feel secure.

Mary, Australia

Super friendly and professional staff. Great location in the middle of the city. Clean rooms and comfy beds. The travel agency in the building is highly recommended, booked some great tours with them, like the blue mountains trip from the photo. The bar in the basement has cheap food and drinks and got something going on every night.

Amanda, Sweden

the location is so great, and the room is so clean.

Xuanyi, New Zealand

Great location and excellent conditions. The staff were so great and accomodating! I will definitely be staying again!

Kathryn, Australia

good location, really close to Central. fellow room occupants were fun but respectful, so got a great night's sleep!

Christopher, Australia

Reception staff were friendly and helpful to someone aged over 70; especially when I suddenly needed to go to Canberra, for a funeral. Three days later I was happy to return to the hostel for a further few days before flying home to WA.

Jean, Australia

Great location!

눉It is annoying that they can charge for wifi in the rooms when booking through this website, but not when you book through their website.
눇I highly recommend Wake Up for those staying Sydney. A couple of odd things came up and the Wake Up Staff went out of their way to be as helpful as possible at all times, demonstrating a real commitment to service and helpfulness. The price is about the same as the other hostels in the area, it's easy to get to by public transit and located in the middle of the downtown. I would definitely stay here again.

눉The plug sockets. I know, so minor but so bloody useless, i had to climb on to the wardrobe because my usb came out the side and therefore didn't fit in the plug. But it was a small price to pay for a comfy stay.
