Booked for 16 bed but was given free upgrade to 10 bed shäre. It was really worth for money. Knowledgeable and reliable staff about tourist attraction around the city. Perfect location. Huge individual locker inside the room is perfect facilities. Rooftop area for chill out and socialize with others guests. Cleanliness is good as well, depends with who are you staying with. Reasonable FREE WIFI speed. Kitchen a little bit small if the hostel full house. Sufficient common room area.

(+) nice and rather helpful staff, big rooms, laundry avaiable, showers and toilets in good conditions and enough ammount, excellent location - only 20 min of nice walk to the harbour and very close to other spots (-) the reception isn't open 24h so if U have a late or early morning flight U don't have place to keep your lugage in; it's not clean especially in toilets and showers, actually good place to stay but no hostel atmosphere

Just needed to stay 1 night in Sydney due to my visa issue to solve in the city. The room I stayed was spacious and the locker was provided with a padlock for me to keep my belongings. I think It's perfect in location-wise as it's centrally located and it took me just minutes to where I needed to go. The kitchen was really small for the size of the hostel, but it wasn't occupied too much. Showers and the toilets were sufficient and individually usable.

Great location but far too overpriced. The room smelt and the bed and pillow was as hard as a rock
