super central location. Also for me as oldie good place (most of the guests could be my kids ;-) ). But really bad is that I as a guest could not turn off or at least reduce the aircondition

Location is great however it is let down by parties by guests that continue to 2am, by no tea/coffee making facilities in our room, general untidiness outside the hotel and surrounds. The staff were very friendly and helpful. In my opinion this hotel should be advertised as accommodation for young singles and those under 40. It certainly seemed to suit them. As older guests we found it did not suit us as well as we would have liked.

This hostel was super handy with its location right next to the station. I was so relieved to be just across the road when my train arrived into Sydney. Roy's Cafe was superb and the staff were incredible at their job, producing consistently high quality food and drinks with a smile on their face, even with an endless stream of customers. I wish there had been an option to tip via card, as I didn't have cash on me. The recommendations of what to do in Sydney provided by the hostel through a QR code were a life-saver for me and gave me some great ways to spend my time in the city. I did struggle to sleep because of very loud building works just outside my window, but there was nothing the hostel could do to change that situation whilst I was there, as there were no other rooms available for me to move into. Overall, I had a great time and would recommend!

As hostels go this is up there as one of the best ones I’ve stayed at. The location is the best part. It’s in Haymarket which is very central and a cool neighborhood with great food options. Across the street from Central Train Station. There are trams everywhere. I walked to the CBD without any issues. The facility is clean and well organized. The bunk beds are secured to the wall so if someone moves it doesn’t shake the whole thing. The staff was friendly and of course there’s the cafe and club right there. I never heard any noise at night from the club. Overall 4.5/5
