This place has me in very mixed minds. I stayed here early April and while I paid for the cheapest room I don't think it entirely justifies the rubbish in it. The people I met in the hostel were really nice and had a great time chatting and socialising with them. However as I went to my room I wasn't... More

I arrived in this hostel by chance...there is a really nice view from the amazing rooftop where it was always a pleasure to have a drink and meet people while looking around and see the skyscrapers and the harbour bridge. Really friendly staff and nice rooms though very basic. The rules are a little bit too hard but security is... More

I arrived at Woodduck through the Work and Travel program and it's been one of the best social experiences I've had in Sydney so far. I met a lot of international travelers from different horizons and now we are all leaving for a a road trip on the East Coast! Comfy beds, simple but free breakfast and friendly staff. Rooftop...

Nice hostel in good location very close to Kings Cross but only about 10-15 minute walk to city. Staff were very friendly and helpful for any questions. The internet is not free, but you can walk to their travel shop for free internet just up the road. Beds are not best and rooms are little warm but so are most... More

Early and simple but free breakfast. Good for someone like me traveling on my own, met people fast, and close by to city and Kings... More

We stayed here in a double room for 3 nights and it was pleasant enough. When we arrived the guy in reception was nice and friendly, gave us good directions to our room and even managed to persuade a fellow guest to carry my bag up the stairs. The double room was nice, comfy clean bed, with a couple of... More
