Don't leave food on kitchen tables for more than 5 minutes or over zealous staff will bin it!

... very clean and well equipped kitchen, a bit pricey though as the whole of Sydney in general. The only thing is that A/C was all time on and even during the day the lounge area was too cold.

A very professional Hostel. Had a good stay for 4 nights. But very expensive. (It was in the time of Christmas)

I stayed there for 2 nights. It was great sleeping in an old railwaycarriage (that's why I picked it). The location right Next to central Station is perfect. Enough clean showers,sinks and toilets which was great. The stuff was sometimes not very helpful and friendly. Untill CheckIn you had to rent an locker (other hostels store for free). No free breakfast was a minus too.

I'll be back! A great spot.

Really nice hostel. A bit more expensive than most, but worth the investment. Has plenty of character and excellent clean facilities. Only a 5 minute walk from the city centre and easy to find. Would definitely recommend.
