Die Unterkunft hat eine perfekte Lage direkt an der Train Station. Allerdings ist das Hostel sehr schlecht zum Menschen kennenlernen. Da es mein erstes Hostel in Sydney war und ich alleine reise würde ich es nicht empfehlen.

It is really sad because location and staff were nice unfortunately the place is infested with cockroaches.

The only good was the friendly staff! The beds don't have curtains and they and they squeaked wildly, I told the staff that the door lock didn't worked, so you could just walk in without using your personal code. The backdoor you use after working hours , it didn't fully closed, so people could just walk in if the knew. No hand dry option at the restroom. The kitchen equipment could also have been better, would not recommend this place.

Lugar sujo, me senti insegura, pessoas mexeram nas minhas coisas sobre a cama, obvio que não deixei nada de valor, mas mesmo assim fizeram o que é péssimo, instalações sujas no geral e tudo muito bagunçado

Really nice place lots of community events and a bright comfortable atmosphere, extremely clean bc it is cleaned properly every day. It can be a bit crowded, especially in the kitchen but there is enough cooking space. With lots of people a great place to socialize

Security was lacking, there was no additional check that you were a hostel guest after walking through the front door. The whole hostel needed a face lift. It was very dated and dingy. The room I stayed in was functional at best. The furniture was showing signs of being well used. The ensuite bathroom needed a deep clean. The shower was missing half of the sliding door which meant whenever someone showered the whole bathroom was soaked. Overall, not a pleasant stay.

This hostel is truly amazing. The rooms and common areas are very spacious and clean. The lay out of the kitchen and living room allows for people to be social. The hostel offers daily events to meet people. I met my best friends here and returned to the same hostel multiple times during my stay in Sydney! Very convenient location too!

Not the best, one toilet and shower between three rooms, was over priced, room still has rubbish from the last guests and there was no atmosphere

I felt like staff were few and far between, but those I did have an interaction with were nice. The beds were very noisy and wobbly when turning over, also no curtains so next to no privacy. My bed happened to be next to the showers and the plumbing was very loud coming through the wall. It seemed as though a few people had been living there for a while and so weren’t really interested in socialising, which was a shame! The showers were extremely small - no where to put any of your stuff.

Really nice hostel in general. The beds are comfortable, with a blanket which is a nice thing to have in a hostel. AC works really well. Showers and toilets are pretty clean. Kitchen is a decent size with necessary equipment.

Les lits sont confortables, les voyageurs qui y sont son très sympathique ! Le seul petit souci je pense que c’est la salle de bain; une salle de bain par étage ! Elle devient vite salle… Sinon l’emplacement est génial, les activités proposées sont parfaites et le personnel est très gentil

Dorms are only vacuumed in the middle part. Plastic bottles everywhere and dirty underwear. Bathroom needs more care. Doors dont close well. Mold on the floor and walls and very humid. Not a social hostel
