After being desperate from the poor quality of Sydney backpackers, we came here and booked a 4 bed room. Had to pay only 4$ extra per night. Place is quite clean and the staff is friendly. There is a nice pub on the right hand side. Very closer to the central railway station and many cafes nearby. Loved this place...

Stayed here for 3 nights during a summer holiday backpacking on the East Coast. This was my first hostel experience and i was pleasantly surprised. The reception staff are all very friendly and helpful. Kitchen and laundry facilities are great. Rooms were cleaned thoroughly every day. Nothing bad to report.

I stayed in a few hostels during my time in Sydney (March - April 2013) and this was one of the best. It's basic, cheap and reasonably clean and reflects the price you pay. It's perfect if you need a base as it's right near loads of cafes and bars, plus it's on the doorstep of Central Station which means... More

Stayed here 4N, and overall enjoyed our stay. Our room, while small, were very clean and an additional window was added (as a second panel) to reduce the outside noise. As expected from a hostel, there were the occasional drunks shouting in the halls at 3am but if you shout back, they quiet down and it's pretty much quiet other... More

Huge hostel on several floors with clean rooms and bathrooms. The staff are very helpful and the wifi good albeit you have to pay for it. It’s only a dollar an hour so not too expensive. It is very central being only a few minutes walk to the train station and bus stops. Darling Harbour is a 15 minute walk... More

Have stayed here a couple of times- private double room, 4bed dorm and 6bed. Staff very friendly, happy to help with anything. showers can get abit grimy but with the number of people, that's not too surprising. Beds are okay, kind of creaky. This time stayed in a 6bed, but the air conditioner didn't seem to work? Also, staying with... More

1) we were able to check in before 2pm as we arrived earlier than expected. the front office staff were extremely friendly and efficient with providing us a cbd map, they would also take the initiative to Google a place for us if they were not familiar with it. 2) we were staying on the 6th floor double-decker bed, the...

I'll break all of my reviews into key areas that are most important to me in a hostel: I stayed in a 4 bed dorm, with 3 friends, all of whom were working. It was around $28 a night. Bed: Average sized bed, decent nights sleep. Room: Tiny, but ideal. We were all working, so it was fine, quiet room... More

I stayed here for one night after my flight got cancelled, in a four person dorm. The staff were very friendly and the 24 hour reception meant that I was able to check out at 4 in the morning to catch my early rescheduled flight. I've stayed here on several occasions previously, and remember being very happy with the service... More

We stayed here on 21 Jan 2013 for 1 night. Location was good (close to Central Station). I stayed in a twin room with my daughter which was small but clean. Thin foam mattresses but comfortable nevertheless. What was very disappointing though was the shared bathroom. There was black grime around basin taps and in the shower and the bin... More
