Little Drifter Surry Hills

Amazing 10/10

I was happy at first, but my experience became very disappointing. Someone accidentally took my food and something important that I left in my basket. I reported it immediately, but the staff told me they weren’t going to check the cameras because they were too busy. I find this very upsetting and disappointing, as it feels like nothing is done when something is stolen. The rooms are very dirty, the backyard is full of cockroaches, and there are rats running everywhere.

we had a very unpleasant stay. the hostel is really dirty with cockroaches and rats walking around, the only clean place is the kitchen, the staff is friendly but not super helpful, common areas close super early, no real inside dining space, not social at all, no shelves by the bed or in the bathroom. Location is good though and room was spacious but dirty!

The worse thing about my stay was the lack of cleanliness. I stayed for 3 nights and found several cockroaches everyday in the common areas, bathroom and near my bed. I had a room with an en-suite bathroom and it did not seem like it was cleaned at all during my stay since the toilet had feces smeared inside the whole time. The only good things I have to say about this hostel is that it is a nice location and there is a decent gym on site.

Super nice hostel! Would definitely stay again. Very friendly staff who helped me with all my problems. People are pretty much minding their own business, so if looking for a quiet hostel this is the one to go. The common areas close quite early, but otherwise the premices are amazing.

Not very good bathrooms but everything else okay

Staff were very friendly but the accomodation did not feel safe, people kept letting in a homeless man who would sit outside our room, our door was constantly left unlocked as the door didn’t close unless you slammed it. The room and en suite was filthy and we had to ask 3 times to get it cleaned. Not very social as most people were living there for work. I wouldn’t stay here again which is a shame because the other drifter hostels are lovely

My favorite hostel in Sydney. So cool, staff are so nice, room and bathroom are clean. Very cool !

Staff are nice. 4 bed room very small. Beds move/shake a lot. Only 2 toilet/showers per gender for whole floor. I had very unpleasant roommates, I know this isn’t the hostels fault but unfortunately ruined my experience. No WiFi in terrace house. Communal area in art house much nicer than terrace house.

L'hostel en lui est tres sympa, le personnel est a lecoute et lemplacement est top MAIS beaucoup beaucoup trop sale, pas d'eau chaude dans les douches et pas de places dans les frigos

I was really surprised by this hostel. Stayed in an 8 bed dorm with a private bathroom, great aircon. The hostel kitchen was kept so clean by the staff, probably the cleanest one yet, the bathrooms however could have been cleaner but only seemed to be cleaned once per day so got quite dirty. Most staff were really friendly and helpful. I wouldn't say it was the most sociable hostel (lots of live in guests) but equally they did have events every night to join!

J’ai adoré mon expérience. Je n’ai dormis qu’une seule nuit. L’endroit était propre. Le quartier était super. J’aurais aimé y rester plus longtemps, mais j’avais déjà réservé ailleurs.

Location was great - close to transit and walkable to a lot of restaurants, parks, etc. This was the first hostel I’ve stayed in that charged for holding bags pre and post check in (just a few dollars, but why?!) A lot of the social area was outdoors - so on rainy days, not much usable community space and seemed like a lot of long term guests (not as welcoming and kitchens were PACKED). Overall, great for 6 days as a place to sleep in an awesome location in Sydney.

Stayed twice, first time it was fine but second time my room was dirty. Despite booking a 12 bed en-suite I got an eight bed shared bathroom. The room was dirty, toilets and showers were filthy and one of the toilets were out of order so only three toilets for a whole floor of dorms to share

The state of the bathroom facilities is actually shocking. I've stayed in a lot of hostels and the state of these is truly some of the worst. Only two toilets and showers for a huge block of rooms and so so dirty. Twice while I was there over the course of three days they ran out of toilet paper. Reception was absent when I arrived and then told me nothing even though they have an electronic system for entry which should be explained. Beds were comfy, rooms were small.

Great hostel, rooms are clean and private and in great location

- membre du staff inutile pour le check-in, si vous avez un soucis avec le site (tout se fait en ligne, clés sur le téléphone) débrouillez vous tout seul - Si vous êtes dans le 2e bâtiment (Terrace), aucun endroit pour se poser a l'intérieur, 2 douches + toilette F et 2 M pour TOUT le bâtiment, jamais aucune place dans les frigos - ménage mal fait, cuisine dégueulasse avec une odeur horrible, sdb vrmt pas mieux, chambre humide et puante au bout du 5e j (pas possible d'aérer si vous...

nice Place to stay while visiting Sydney

We stayed in a 4-bed dorm with a shared bathroom, the room itself was small but okay but the facilities really let it down. There were only two female toilets and two female showers for the whole building, so there was almost always a queue. The bathrooms were always dirty, with used bottles and razors left behind, and the “last cleaned” sign didn’t change during our 6-day stay. Communal areas closed at 9–10pm and it didn’t feel very social, with lots of long-term guests who seemed qui...

Dirty rooms, mould in the bathroom. Room clearly wasn’t cleaned before we came in(surprised if it was after!) and for the most expensive shared dorm, just not worth it. Were there for 5 nights and ran out of toilet roll in the ensuite which only got replaced when we complained. The reviews looked good but it has clearly gone downhill. The keycard being on your phone was a pain as it rarely worked. Not worth the money. Kitchen smelt awful and was dirty so ended up not cooking at all.
