Toilets and showers were dirty and disgusting. We had a twin bedroom n°308. During the day somebody have taken away our sheets and turns our room into a bloody mess,....Fortunately the staff guy was so nice to change our room. Do not go there !

Do NOT stay here if you're in Sydney only for a couple nights and are by yourself looking to meet people. Everyone staying there is a long term stayer so they've already seen everything and are there to work. While they are nice, they already have their friends and it's difficult to meet anyone to go sightseeing with.

The kitchen is dirty and a real mess. Nobody/not much people clean when they use cookware. And your clothes smell cooking until the third floor! Although the rest was fine.

Seven reasons to stay here! 1) You want your food to get stolen and staff does nothing 2) You want to stay up the whole night while others have sex in your room and staff tell you “well you are in a hostel” 3) You love not sleeping at night 4) You are a dug addicted 5) You love staying in a hostel that does not clean the toilets or shower daily 6) You enjoy going on a pub crawl and paying for others that did not feel liking paying for themselves 7) You love cooking in a dirty kitchen

Was a great place to stay. Character of the building was awesome. Enjoyed every minute of it. Nice place to relax, didnt stay to long so didnt get to know / talk to anyone there as our fun was to be had at DEFQON1. Will definately be staying here in the future.
