Zen Harmony House

Be careful of rip-offs when you leave. They will give you a bill for not being there for the meditation. The kitchen is very dirty and half of the showers don't work

Hostel claims lower rate if meditating 2x per day. I was charged "for not meditating" regardless I was not staying at the hostel that day because I checked out! Facility has older guests that live there long term, and needs maintenance(like paint falling off walls). Avoid.

Sehr dreckige Unterkunft, die Küche ist grauenhaft! Bitte lest euch die Preisbedingungen genau durch. Wenn man die Meditationen nicht mitmacht obwohl man anfangs den vergünstigten Preis hat, bezahlt man einen Aufpreis PLUS eine Bearbeitungsgebühr. Vor ort wurde aber nichts erklärt. Es wird am Ende etwas von der Kaution einbehalten und auf den WhatsApp Chat verwiesen bzw. die Bedingungen auf der Internetseite. Etwas komisch…würden nicht nur wegen des Preises das Hostel nicht weiterempfehle...

booked the hostel as it was cheapest on hostel world, 25$ but they later send an email saying the price only applies if you attend the meditation session, & asked to pay $35 soo Please make sure you read the booking confirmation email.🤦‍♀️

Nothing is Zen about the place. Also very weird vibe between the employees. The dirtiest hostel I have ever been. A lot of humidity in the rooms and no warm water. Would not recommend

I was not feeling well and still insisted on participating in the meditation activities of this store, halfway through the body is too painful to lie down, the result is that they are not humane at all, still said to deduct my 15 dollars money. It is fault for not caring about the health of consumers who participate in meditation activities. Consumers have no protection at all here, they will only be forced to charge indiscriminately, very much not recommended!

Honestly not worth it. There was bugs in the bathroom, creepy long term guests, and the main yoga instructor is passive aggressive. I honestly felt uncomfortable here especially because they don’t have an age limit. The mediation is a bad idea if you have a job or a life because the times are unavoidable so you would be missing at least one of the mandatory sessions no matter what ur work schedule looks like. I did enjoy the animals and the staff (other than the older yoga guy) where very frie...

It was the worst experience I have ever witnessed. I didn’t feel save sleeping here. Everything dirty and worn down. Kitchen is horrible. Beds are short and uncomfortable. Looks and feels like a trap house. Do NOT recommend.

Mise à part l’emplacement, il n’y a rien qui va dans cet établissement.

the hostel is nice when you are experienced in meditation, if you are not, it won't be the right for you.

I had a lovely stay at the Zen Harmony House. The staff are incredibly kind and inviting and host great meditations. I’d highly recommend to anyone visiting Sydney.

Hele fijne tijd gehad hier in het Zen Harmony House. Ik heb m'n verblijf verlengd en ben er in toaal 9 nachten gewwest. Omdat je er gezamenlijk twee maal per dag mediteert, word je er vanaf dag 1 persoonlijk benaderd en met je voornaam aangesproken. 'Loving kindness' wordt er als vanzelfsprekend in praktijk gebracht. Soms wordt er voor alle gasten gekookt en gratis gedeeld, en twee maal heb ik ook mee mogen genieten van een voor de gasten gebakken bananencake. Kortom, een warme thuishaven!

Had such a lovely stay at the Zen hostel and such lovely and welcoming staff, going to miss the meditation sessions as they were the best way to start your day !!! xxx

Very good experience! Good energy, staff is so friendly, meditation time is so relaxing!

very friendly

This place provided an amazing experience for my wife and I. We stayed for a week in the dorms. We had never been to a hostel before and didnt know what to expect but we loved it and would return! The meditation aspect is the focus of the house. Definitely partake as often as possible when you're here. The owners put their heart and soul into providing a good meditation experience. We left feeling better than we came. Great intellectual conversation. Not enough room for a solid review here.10/10

I loved this place ! Stayed there for a long time and enjoyed the connections made there !

Fantastic hostel for those who want some peace from the chaos of a typical ‘party’ hostel This hostel exists purely to support its guests, with the focus being on meditation. The team run 3 meditation sessions a day, and provide support and guidance for those who need it Communal spaces and cooking mean that everyone looks after each other Dogs and cats welcome too! A fantastic place to say

Very nice place for people who loves meditation or want to experienced it. The location is good and the staff is lovely, I enjoyed my stay!

Best place definitely if you are fine with meditation!

Very relaxed friendly atmosphere. You can make friends here as it is a small communal space. Nice peaceful meditation room. Room had a nice view of the city. I stayed in a 3 bed share room which was good- not too crowded, it had a big fridge in the room. Bathrooms were adequate, sometimes had to wait a bit but definitely great value for money. Not a party hostel, but social in other ways. As a female solo traveller I felt safe here. I would stay here again.

Excellent hostel! Had a great stay with friendly staff, enriching meditation sessions and a great sense of community. Location: Right by Kings Cross Station and close to bus stops, metro station, lots of cafes and restaurants, plus shops (for groceries and other stuff). Overall excellent location. Staff (and Meditation): I found the hostel very friendly, and the staff were super personable and quick to respond. The staff led meditation sessions were excellent.

I Do recommend. the staff is super NICE friendly and helpful. all the toilets are clean and there any many of them. the room I stayed was very good, fresh air, bright, not messy or dirty, it has a fridge and the view was really AMAZING! SO nice to see cats and dogs and meditation every day. TV room and meditation area are super nice aswell. backpackers and ppl living there are very nice.

Wonderful place, wonderful people and the most adorable cats and dogs.

Loved this hostel so much I stayed 4 more nights. The vibe is so chill and everyone ( staff & visitors) were so kind and friendly. The meditations are amazing, love the cats and the dog attending. I’d return for sure.

For the first time after 1.5 years staying in Australia I felt that there are places which will make you feel home. This hostel is one of them. I liked the concept of meditation and I really enjoyed the long session of the evening. Thank you for your service.

Lovely hostel!! The people were extremely helpful and the atmosphere was relaxing and social. The friendly environment meant that visitors were super kind too. I found this particularly refreshing after staying in another Sydney hostel that hadn't been nearly as friendly, earlier that week. The meditations were good too! As someone who needs to relax more I found it was a nice, pleasant experience!

Best place to rest and meet some wonderful friendly people, kind cats and the most meditative dog I've ever met. Genuine experience, loved the atmosphere.

Best hostel ever! Found it so original to have this meditation system, please keep it up. Fridge in a room! Awesome! Awesome location and nice view from my window, really chill cozy atmosphere. Awesome staff and just everything every warm! Would come back !

I had such a calming and pleasant experience staying at Zen Harmony Hostel. It's within short walking distance from many famous tourist spots, and the morning meditation was such a nice way to start my day.
