Location is perfect! The rooms are average, could be a little bit cleaner.

The common areas are a bit quiet, the internet is a rip off and the bar too. We received a pack of base "offers" but most where out of date or not accepted anywhere. I don't think this was value for money.

There is a decent kitchen, cool bar next door and very good bathrooms. If you are female stay in the girls only dorms cos you get 3 free drinks each night which easily cover the extra cost of the room. The only downfall i can think of is that my bunk bed squeeked so much that every time you even turned over during the night you woke yourself up. luck of the draw i suppose!

Not a bad location, although lack of compfy communal areas a bit of a let down. Also in big dorms, not enough space for access to locker areas!

Great location and great hostel, can run a bit pricey though. But if you just want a fun lively place to stay for your holiday, this is the place.

Cleanest hostel I\'ve ever stayed at. Very nice, only downside was coming from a 14 hour flight and having to wait until 2pm to be checked-in instead of around 10 when I arrived.

I stayed in the sanctuary girls dorm. It was perfect, nice large rooms with private lockers underneath the bunk beds, hair dryers and straighteners can be borrowed at the reception desk. The hostel has a perfect location within walking distance of darling harbour. The scary canary is a great partyplace, had a fun night at the fluro party!!

Nice enough, clean and in a good location. Staff were a mixed bag, some helpful and friendly others uninterested and a bit dismissive. Everytime I went to desk I was in a que 6 people deep and the staff ignored people jumping the que etc which was annoying.
