I was really surprised by this hostel. Stayed in an 8 bed dorm with a private bathroom, great aircon. The hostel kitchen was kept so clean by the staff, probably the cleanest one yet, the bathrooms however could have been cleaner but only seemed to be cleaned once per day so got quite dirty. Most staff were really friendly and helpful. I wouldn't say it was the most sociable hostel (lots of live in guests) but equally they did have events every night to join!

Location was great - close to transit and walkable to a lot of restaurants, parks, etc. This was the first hostel I’ve stayed in that charged for holding bags pre and post check in (just a few dollars, but why?!) A lot of the social area was outdoors - so on rainy days, not much usable community space and seemed like a lot of long term guests (not as welcoming and kitchens were PACKED). Overall, great for 6 days as a place to sleep in an awesome location in Sydney.

The state of the bathroom facilities is actually shocking. I've stayed in a lot of hostels and the state of these is truly some of the worst. Only two toilets and showers for a huge block of rooms and so so dirty. Twice while I was there over the course of three days they ran out of toilet paper. Reception was absent when I arrived and then told me nothing even though they have an electronic system for entry which should be explained. Beds were comfy, rooms were small.
