Lovely atmosphere, loved Glebe. Lots to do in the hostel - movie nights, ping pong etc. Easy to meet people and make friends. Only complaint is kitchen could be kept cleaner, also would like to see lockers in the rooms. Overall though had a very enjoyable stay- thank you x

Good hostel. Quite a walk out of town, but in a nice area. Staff was very friendly. Only too less shower and toiletfacilities. Free BBQ, perfect and nice!

By far one of the best hostels i've been to. Nice area, walking distance the city and best of all not the loud traffic outside like at the hostels in the CBD. Because it's a smaller hostel it has more character and is more relaxed. Stayed in a 10 bed dorm and it had a shower and toilet in the room so that was a plus. The price 23$ per night including breakfast and pancakes on weekends! and bbq on fridays is great! Only downside to it was the price for NYE but all the hostel prices go up then...

Horrible experience at this hostel for a couple of reasons: - staffs have very bad attitude and are not willing to help in general - Super disgustingly dirty hostel rooms - very few showers and toilets for many people - staffs didn't introduce the facilities available at all - booked online with my friend in one transaction but was put in two different rooms upon arrival I will definitely not stay here again!

Hi Simon, thanks for the feedback - it will help us become a better hostel and we're working on these issues now. I'm sorry it didn't work out for you at the Village but I hope you had a nice holiday in any case. Cheers, Eliza (Assistant Manager)

Hi, I have to say, that there is one person of the Staff, who is bored and very unfriendly, but the other were very sympathic. There are Fridays BBQ night and on the weekends you can eat pancakes. This would make by visitors of the hostel and they get one free accommodation for it. The are very big so you don't wait to long.

Great Vibe. I loved the cosmopolitan colour of the people staying there. A good range of ages ... not just the young backpackers
