Hostel was the best I’ve been to in Sydney. Great location, privacy curtains, nice kitchen, cleaning every day. The staff were the highlight, Antoine and Bryan were amazing.

I stayed at this hostel for a short time, but I would happily come back! I had a great experience. The atmosphere and the staff are welcoming and friendly, always ready to offer helpful advice. It’s the perfect place to feel at ease when arriving in a new city. The spaces are clean, the common area is great for relaxing on the sofas or working on your laptop, and the rooftop with a view of the Harbour Bridge is the top. Thanks for everything!

Da evitare. Ostello molto vecchio e sporco, il bagno era in condizioni pietose con la doccia piena di macchie e un buco ne soffitto. L'armadietto puzzava terribilmente e per chiuderlo era necessaria una chiave da prendere in reception lasciando un deposito di 30 dollari, in tutti gli altri ostelli è possibile usare il proprio lucchetto personale. Il personale inizia ad entrare in stanza a partire dalle 7 di mattina, per aprire il balcone e per "pulire" il bagno.

This place shouldn’t be called The Social Hotel, but called The Social (only if you speak French) Hotel, instead. My stay here was okay, no major complaints, but it’s definitely not for everyone. If you speak French, or are looking to get some practice in, definitely come here. But if you’re English-speaking exclusively and looking to socialize… maybe choose another hostel.

Das Hostel ist an sich gut, aber es gibt ein paar Sachen die stören. Was sehr gut ist, ist dass es ein Aufzug gibt. Die Betten sind sehr bequem. Auch ist sehr gut, dass es kostenloses Frühstück gibt, auch wenn die Auswahl nicht groß ist. Das einzige was ich nicht gut fand war die Küche, welche viel zu klein ist für alle. Man hat gar kein Platz richtig zu kochen. Es ist auch zu wenig Platz im Kühlschrank und es fehlen mehr Gemeinschaftsbäder. Die Menschen waren aber echt sozial. Kann es e...

Unclean, mould in the bath, 99% of the population of the hostel are French, which isnt an issue but everyone seems to know everyone and they are constantly in and out of the rooms in their large groups being loud when others are trying to sleep. Kitchen area is useless as its always full, the images for the hostel are taken very clever as the hostel does not look like that in person, the free breakfast consists of tea/coffee/cereal and toast served in toddler sized dishes.

Super hostel. Bien situés avec deux épicerie juste a côté et l'opéra a une trentaine de minutes de marches. Station de bus tout près pour aller a bondi beach. Propreté numéro 1. Les gens qui y travaillent sont super gentil et ont été d'une grande aide.

Auberge bien située à 40 minutes à pieds de l'Opéra de Sydney et du Harbour Bridge (il y a d'ailleurs une très belle vue sur le pont depuis la terrasse de l'auberge !). Le fait qu'il y ait un petit déjeuner inclus dans le prix est un vrai plus ! En revanche la cuisine est assez petite, pas le top pour cuisiner. Il y a beaucoup de français, si on veut rencontrer d'autres nationalités c'est pas le top haha !

I always stay here while in Sydney! I love having a bathroom in the room and the curtains, the charging points and light by the bed are the best. yes there's lots of French people but they are nice once you get to know them!
