Sydney Beachouse YHA Reviews

It was pretty clean. Staff was nice. Dorms are kinda cramped though and rooms where uncomfortably hot which made it hard to sleep. Overall good place to stay if you don't mind being REALLY FAR from the city. There is nothing around there to do. Its like a 20 minute bus ride to Manly and 45 mins to an hour bus ride to the city. People staying there didn't seem to eager to meet others. Everyone stayed to themselves. Don't stay here if you wanna party. Beach near by was not enjoyable...kinda gross

This Hostel is about 45 minutes from Sydney by the L90 bus, but the beach is right across the street! Free Surf board rentals and daily activities. The daily activities were expensive ($30+) compared to other places i have stayed (free-$20). The front desk shut down at 8pm which was unusual for a hostel. Almost all hostels I have had 24 hour reception except here.

Great location for a relaxing time by the beach - 50 mins by bus from CBD so not for someone who wants to be in centre of Sydney. Had a lovely relaxing time here over Xmas. Beautiful beach across the road. Staff extremely friendly & helpful. Ok kitchen & good sized dining area. Very clean.Dorms a little small but not a major prob. Good sized lockers in dorms plenty big for rucksack & more. I'm not really into organised activities but plenty of stuff for those who are. Nice atmosphere

Friendly staff, nice size room, lockers in each room which was handy and a nice big kitchen/ dining area/ tv rooms

This is a great place to stay if you're not a fan of the busy city. However, if you're more of a night out person - be warned this is about a 40 min bus ride from the city. There is a beach across the road, and the hostel itself is pretty decent. Only major complaints was the heat. At night I would sweat through my pillow because it was so stuffy. The room is also pretty small if you're sharing the dorm.

I felt like I was at a stranger's funeral. None of the people made any attempt to talk, breakfast was eaten in silence with everyone sat alone looking miserable and bored. No one washed-up after themselves so the sinks were filled with dirty cups and plates. You had to pay for wi-fi and it wasn't cheap. No activities organised by the hostel. The rooms were very small, if my room had been full there would have been a tight squeeze to get us all in with our luggage. I would never go back!

loved it !!!

A GREAT HOSTEL. WOULD SUGGEST KITCHEN CHANGED TO ALLOW FULL DISHWASHING SETUP FOR MORE HYGENIC CLEANING OF CROCKERY/CUTLERY - OTHERWISE GREAT
