Very disappointed. I was told when checking in that they only host people under the age of 35. I had booked the hostel for 4 nights a month prior They let me stay one night in a very loose wobbly upper bunk in a hot filthy room but I had to find somewhere else to stay for the rest of my week in Sydney (YHA Sydney Harbor- highly recommend). The location was awful- lots of homeless people out front- the bathrooms were ok but very small and the room was hot and dirty. The bunk bed was very wobbly.

Place was a dive, taps don’t work in room, showers are unbelievably dirty, kitchen stinks, cockroach’s everywhere. Was in the room when they came to clean it, all they did was clean the mirrors 😂. Can’t leave a comment on staff as no where to be seen. Location is pretty ok tho, real central right next to King’s Cross tube station. Don’t stay here tho. It tarnished my trip to Sydney. I read the recent reviews and thought it couldn’t be that bad, trust me it is
