Great location, right near the central station and the light rail. Rooms were big, with large lockers. Bathrooms were well maintained, but looked a little dated. Kitchen was big, but is currently undergoing renovation and looked a little run down. There’s a big tv room which seems nice, and there were events we just weren’t there long enough to experience any of them. For a short stay would recommend.

Only old asian people, they work in sydney and they live here. really boring hostel. Shower on flor 1 do not have hot water, first they give me a room but my bed wasn't made, so they went to make it, and when I came back, they hadn't changed the sheets! They just straightened them. You cant open the windows of the rooms so imagine the smell, everything is old. Is cheaper than other hotels? Yes, but better pay a little more and go to a better one.
