Can't believe the other reviews??? Never heard things so far from the truth! Not had any problems that have been mentioned in the other reviews. If you want a fairer evaluation I suggest visiting hostelworld.com. I've stayed at the majority of hostels in Sydney and this is easily the best.

I loved it here, there is free laundry, breakfast, nice rooms with designed privacy, your own locker and your own plug and light by your bed. They have really thought of everything and the whole place is comfortable and friendly as it is not one of the "big backpackers" so you get to know people that are staying there. The... More
